Arrays
• Array inherits from Object.
• Indexes are converted to strings and used
as names for retrieving values.
• Very efficient for sparse arrays.
• Not very efficient in most other cases.
• One advantage: No need to provide a
length or type when creating an array.
Declaring and Allocating Arrays

• JavaScript arrays are Array objects.


• Creating new objects using the new operator
is known as creating an instance or
instantiating an object
• Operator new is known as the dynamic
memory allocation operator
Declare + Initialize Arrays
var array_name = [“a” , ”b” , ”c”];
Using the JavaScript Keyword new
Types of Array
• Associative Array
• Index Array
Associative Array (keys
and values)
var person = [];
person [“ firstName "] = “Hassan";
person [“ lastName "] = "Dar";
OR
Indexing Array
Array elements are accessed using their index
number:

var ary = [“A” , “B” , “C” , “D” , “E” ,


“F”];
document.write(ary[4]);
//output : E
USING LOOP
Array Attributes
• length
• indexOf
• typeOf
• Changing Elements
• Deleting Elements
LENGTH…..
• The length property provides an easy
way to append new elements to an
array without using the push()
method.
LENGTH
INDEXOF
Typeof
A common question is: How do I know if a variable
is an array? The problem is that the JavaScript
operator typeof returns "object":
Changing Elements
Deleting Elements
delete array[number]

• Removes the element, but leaves a


hole in the numbering.

array.splice(number, 1)

• Removes the element and renumbers


all the following elements.
Deleting Elements
Ary = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd‘ ,‘e’];
delete Ary[1];
['a',undefined, 'c', 'd‘ ,’e’]
