The Array() constructor is used to create Array objects and the array constructor can be called with or without a new keyword, both can create a new Array.
Syntax:
new Array(Value1, Value2, ...);
new Array(ArrayLength);
Array(Value1, Value2, ...);
Array(ArrayLength);
Parameters:
- ValueN: An array initialized by the given value, except in the case where only one value is provided to the array constructor and that value is a number. Unfortunately, the previous condition does not hold true if an array is built using the [ ]operator.
- arrayLength: If the Value is only one element that is also a number between 0 and 2^32 – 1 then an array object is created with the length property set to the array property.
Example 1: In this example, we will use the basic use of the Array() constructor.
// Using elements
const array1 = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
// Using arrayLength
const array2 = new Array(10)
console.log(array1);
console.log(array2);
Output:
(5) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
(10) [empty × 10]
Example 2: In this example, we will use an array with a string value.
const language = new Array("HTML", "CSS", "Javascript");
console.log(language.length);
console.log(language[0]);
console.log(language[1]);
console.log(language[2]);
Output:
3
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
