Associative arrays are basically objects in JavaScript where indexes are replaced by user defined keys. They do not have a length property like normal array and cannot be traversed using normal for loop.
Following is the code for associative arrays in JavaScript −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" >
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Document</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
.result {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: 500;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Associative array in JavaScript</h1>
<div style="color: green;" class="result"></div>
<button class="Btn">CLICK HERE</button>
<h3>
Click on the above button to create a associative array and display it

<script>
let resEle = document.querySelector(".result");
document.querySelector(".Btn").addEventListener("click", () => {
let arr = { Name: "Rohan", Class: 9, Age: 16 };
for (i in arr) {
resEle.innerHTML += "Key = " + i + " : Value = " + arr[i] + "<br>";
}
});
</script>
</body>
