Understanding Arrays in JavaScript

Updated on August 25, 2021

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create arrays; how they are indexed; how to add, modify, remove, or access items in an array; and how to loop through arrays.

Tutorial

JavaScript has many useful built-in methods to work with arrays. Methods that modify the original array are known as mutator methods, and methods that return a new value or representation are known as accessor methods. In this tutorial, we will focus on mutator methods.

Tutorial

This tutorial will go over methods that will concatenate arrays, convert arrays to strings, copy portions of an array to a new array, and find the indices of arrays.

Tutorial

In JavaScript, the array data type consists of a list of elements. There are many useful built-in methods available for JavaScript developers to work with arrays. In this tutorial, we will use iteration methods to loop through arrays, perform functions on each item in an array, filter the desired results of an array, reduce array items down to a single value, and search through arrays to find values or indices.
