var daysOfWeek = new Array(); //{1}
var daysOfWeek = new Array(7); //{2}
var daysOfWeek = new Array('Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'); //{3}

We can simply declare and instantiate a new array by using the keyword new (line {1}). Also, using the keyword new, we can create a new array specifying the length of the array (line {2}). And a third option would be passing the array elements directly to its constructor (line {3}).

var daysOfWeek = [];
