All About Array in JavaScript

what is Array?

An array is a particular variable, which can hold more than one value:

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];

why Array?

As Array can store n number of values, it is easy to store and access data.

for example:- suppose we have to store the data of fruits, so to do that we have two options.

option 1:- create the n number of variable for n number of fruits

let fruit1 = "Apple";
let fruit2 = "Banana";
let fruit3 = "Orange";

option 2:- create an array and store n number of fruits in it.

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];

creating an array

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];

another way using the keyword new

const fruits = new Array("Apple", "Banana", "Orange");

accessing an element of the array

to access the array element you can use its index number, by default the index number starts with 0

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];
let fruit = fruits[0];

changing the element of the array

fruits[0] = "PineApple";

another way

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];
fruits[0] = "PineApple";

access all elements of the array

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = fruits;
