How to create arrays in JavaScript?


To create an array in JavaScript, simply assign values −

var animals = ["Dog", "Cat", "Tiger"];

You can also use the new keyword to create arrays in JavaScript −

var animals = new Array("Dog", "Cat", "Tiger");

The Array parameter is a list of strings or integers. When you specify a single numeric parameter with the Array constructor, you specify the initial length of the array. The maximum length allowed for an array is 4,294,967,295.

Example

Let’s see an example to create arrays in JavaScript

<html>
   <head>
      <title>JavaScript Arrays</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <script>
         var arr = new Array("Dog","Cat","Tiger");
         var sorted = arr.sort();
         document.write("Returned string is : " + sorted );
      </script>
   </body>
</html>
