JavaScript - Arrays Cheatsheet - Codecademy

Arrays in JavaScript can contain elements of any data type. Elements are accessed by their numeric index, starting with 0. The .length property indicates the number of elements in an array. Methods like .push() and .pop() can be used to add/remove elements and mutate the array. Arrays are mutable even when declared with const, allowing their contents to be changed.

Arrays

Property .length
The .length property of a JavaScript array indicates the const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
number of elements the array contains.

numbers.length // 4

Index
Array elements are arranged by index values, starting at // Accessing an array element
0 as the first element index. Elements can be accessed
const myArray = [100, 200, 300];
by their index using the array name, and the index
surrounded by square brackets.
console.log(myArray[0]); // 100
console.log(myArray[1]); // 200
console.log(myArray[2]); // 300

Method .push()
The .push() method of JavaScript arrays can be used to // Adding a single element:
add one or more elements to the end of an array.
const cart = ['apple', 'orange'];
.push() mutates the original array and returns the new
length of the array. cart.push('pear');

// Adding multiple elements:


const numbers = [1, 2];
numbers.push(3, 4, 5);

Method .pop()
The .pop() method removes the last element from an const ingredients = ['eggs', 'flour',
array and returns that element.
'chocolate'];

const poppedIngredient =
ingredients.pop(); // 'chocolate'
console.log(ingredients); // ['eggs',
'flour']

Mutable
JavaScript arrays are mutable, meaning that the values const names = ['Alice', 'Bob'];
they contain can be changed.
Even if they are declared using const , the contents can
be manipulated by reassigning internal values or using names.push('Carl');
methods like .push() and .pop() . // ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Carl']

Arrays
Arrays are lists of ordered, stored data. They can hold // An array containing numbers
items that are of any data type. Arrays are created by
const numberArray = [0, 1, 2, 3];
using square brackets, with individual elements separated
by commas.
// An array containing different data
types
const mixedArray = [1, 'chicken', false];
