Study Notes

JavaScript Arrays as Objects

  • JavaScript arrays are objects, not primitive data types.
  • They have built-in properties and methods extending their capabilities.

Array Methods: push() and pop()

  • push(): Adds one or more elements to the end of an array.
  • pop(): Removes and returns the last element of an array.

Example Usage of push()

  • var fruits = []; initializes an empty array.
  • fruits.push("apple"); adds "apple" to the fruits array.
  • The array now contains ['apple'].
  • fruits.push('pear'); adds 'pear' to the end of the array.
  • The array becomes ['apple', 'pear'].

Example Usage of pop()

  • fruits.pop(); removes 'pear' from the end of the array.
  • console.log(fruits); displays the updated array ['apple'].

Creating Arrays with Functions

  • A function can build an array by adding arguments using push().
  • function arrayBuilder(one, two, three) { ... } defines a function to create an array.
  • The function initializes an empty array(var arr = [];) and adds arguments as elements (arr.push(one);, arr.push(two);, arr.push(three);).
  • The function returns the created array.

Example of Function Usage

  • var simpleArr = arrayBuilder('apple', 'pear', 'plum'); calls the function with arguments.
  • The returned array (['apple', 'pear', 'plum']) is stored in simpleArr.
  • console.log(simpleArr); displays the array.
