Study Notes
Arrays
- Arrays are data structures holding elements.
- Array elements are numbered, starting from zero.
- Access elements using their number in square brackets.
- The total count of array elements is its length.
- The
toString()
method returns a string representation of the array and its elements. - The
join()
method concatenates array elements, separated by commas or a specified separator string.
Array Methods
-
pop()
: Removes and returns the last element of an array. Changes the array's length. -
push()
: Adds one or more elements to the end of an array, and returns the new length. -
shift()
: Removes and returns the first element of an array. Changes the array's length. -
unshift()
: Adds one or more elements to the beginning of an array and returns the new length. -
concat()
: Merges two or more arrays into a new array, without altering the original arrays. -
forEach()
: Executes a provided function once for each array element. -
map()
: Creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element. -
filter()
: Creates a new array with all elements that pass a provided test.
Other Methods
-
find()
,every()
,some()
,includes()
- Additional array methods.
Arrays Copy
- Arrays in JavaScript are reference values, meaning when you copy an array using
=
you copy the reference, not the array contents. Modifying one copy will also modify the original. - To create a true copy, use spread syntax (
...
) or other methods that explicitly copy the array elements.
Best Practices
- Use of
for...in
andfor...of
loops are less efficient thanforEach
function. - Use rest parameters (
...
) to accept an indefinite number of arguments in a function as an array. - Spread syntax can expand iterables like arrays into their elements (for function calls or as new variables).
Sorting Arrays
-
sort()
may not sort in a way you expect it to work with numbers unless a comparison function is supplied specifically - Avoid using
array.sort()
with numbers if unexpected results are required with the elements of an array, or it is essential which sorting behavior to achieve.
