Creating and initializing arrays
Declaring, creating, and initializing an array in JavaScript is as simple, as shown by the following:
var daysOfWeek = new Array(); //{1} var daysOfWeek = new Array(7); //{2} var daysOfWeek = new Array('Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednes day', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'); //{3}
We can simply declare and instantiate a new array 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}
). A third option would be passing the array elements directly to its constructor (line {3}
).
However, using the new
keyword is not best practice. If you want to create an array in JavaScript, we can assign empty brackets ([]
), as in the following example:
var daysOfWeek = [];
We can also initialize the array with some elements, as follows:
var daysOfWeek = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday...
