Array Methods -->

JavaScript provides a wide range of built-in methods to manipulate and work


with arrays. Here are some commonly used array methods:

1. `push()`

- Purpose: Adds one or more elements to the end of the array.


- Returns: The new length of the array.

let numbers = [1, 2, 3];


numbers.push(4); // Adds 4 to the end of the array
console.log(numbers); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]

2. `pop()`

- Purpose: Removes the last element from the array.


- Returns: The removed element.

let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"];


let lastFruit = fruits.pop(); // Removes the last element "Cherry"
console.log(fruits); // Output: ["Apple", "Banana"]
console.log(lastFruit); // Output: Cherry

3. `shift()`

- Purpose: Removes the first element from the array.


- Returns: The removed element.

let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"];


let firstFruit = fruits.shift(); // Removes "Apple"
console.log(fruits); // Output: ["Banana", "Cherry"]
console.log(firstFruit); // Output: Apple
4. `unshift()`

- Purpose: Adds one or more elements to the beginning of the array.


- Returns: The new length of the array.

let fruits = ["Banana", "Cherry"];


fruits.unshift("Apple"); // Adds "Apple" to the beginning
console.log(fruits); // Output: ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]

5. `indexOf()`

Definition:
The `indexOf()` method returns the first index at which a specified element is
found in the array. If the element is not found, it returns `-1`.

Syntax:

array.indexOf(searchElement, fromIndex);

Example:

let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Banana"];


let index = fruits.indexOf("Banana"); // Finds the first occurrence
console.log(index); // Output: 1

6. `lastIndexOf()`

Definition:
The `lastIndexOf()` method returns the last index at which a specified element
is found in the array. If the element is not found, it returns `-1`.

Syntax:

array.lastIndexOf(searchElement, fromIndex);

Example:

let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Banana"];


let lastIndex = fruits.lastIndexOf("Banana"); // Finds the last occurrence
console.log(lastIndex); // Output: 3
7. `concat()`

- Purpose: Merges two or more arrays into a new array.


- Returns: A new array.

let arr1 = [1, 2];


let arr2 = [3, 4];
let mergedArray = arr1.concat(arr2);
console.log(mergedArray); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]

8. `includes()`

- Purpose: Determines whether an array contains a certain value.


- Returns: `true` if the array contains the value, otherwise `false`.

let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"];


console.log(fruits.includes("Banana")); // Output: true

10. `reverse()`

Definition:
The `reverse()` method reverses the order of the elements in an array in
place. The first array element becomes the last, and the last becomes th e
first.

Syntax:

array.reverse();

- The `reverse()` method directly modifies the original array.


- It does not create a new array, but rather changes the order of elements in
the array itself.

Example:

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];


numbers.reverse(); // Reverses the order of the array
console.log(numbers); // Output: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

Key Points:
- In-Place Modification: The original array is modified.
11. `join()`

Definition:

The `join()` method joins all elements of an array into a string, with a
specified separator between the elements. If no separator is provided, a comma
(`,`) is used by default.

Syntax:

array.join(separator);

- `separator` (optional): Specifies the string to separate each element. If


omitted, a comma is used.

Example:

let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"];


let joinedFruits = fruits.join(" - ");
console.log(joinedFruits); // Output: "Apple - Banana - Cherry"

12. `slice()`

- Purpose: Extracts a section of an array and returns a new array.


- Returns: A new array containing the extracted elements.

let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Date"];


let slicedFruits = fruits.slice(1, 3); // Extracts elements at index 1 and 2
console.log(slicedFruits); // Output: ["Banana", "Cherry"]

13. `splice()`
- Purpose: Adds or removes elements from the array.
- Returns: An array containing the deleted elements.

let fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"];


fruits.splice(1, 1, "Mango"); // Replaces "Banana" with "Mango"
console.log(fruits); // Output: ["Apple", "Mango", "Cherry"]
14. `Array.isArray()`

Definition:

The `Array.isArray()` method determines whether the passed value is an array.

Syntax:

Array.isArray(value);

- value: The value you want to check.

Returns: `true` if the value is an array; otherwise, `false`.

Example:

console.log(Array.isArray([1, 2, 3])); // Output: true


console.log(Array.isArray("Hello")); // Output: false
console.log(Array.isArray({ key: "value" })); // Output: false

15. `flat()`

Definition:

The `flat()` method creates a new array with all sub-array elements
concatenated into it recursively up to the specified depth.

Syntax:

array.flat(depth);

- depth (optional): Specifies how deep to flatten the array. Default is `1`.

Example:

let nestedArray = [1, [2, [3, [4]]]];


console.log(nestedArray.flat(2)); // Output: [1, 2, 3, [4]]
// ! how to declare array

let arr1 = [10,'san',true,[20,40],()=>{}]

console.log(arr1[4])

// ! how to know the length of array

let len = arr1.length


console.log(len)

// ! methods of array

let arr2 = [20,40,60,33,60,12]

// ! 1. push()

// let lenForPush = arr2.push(99)


// console.log(lenForPush)
// console.log(arr2)

// ! 2. pop()

// let lastEle = arr2.pop()


// console.log(lastEle)
// console.log(arr2)

// ! 3. unshift()

// let lenForUnshift = arr2.unshift('hi')


// console.log(lenForUnshift)
// console.log(arr2)
// ! 4. shift()

// let removedEleFromStart = arr2.shift()


// console.log(removedEleFromStart)
// console.log(arr2)

// ! 5. includes()

console.log(arr2.includes(60))

// ! 6. indexOf()

console.log(arr2.indexOf(60))

// ! 7. lastIndexOf()

console.log(arr2.lastIndexOf(60))

// ! 8. concat()

let arr3 = [3,4,5,6]


let arr4 = [8,9,6,5]

let newArr = arr3.concat(arr4)


console.log(newArr)

// ! 9. flat()

let arr5 = [1,3,4,[67,90,90,[3,4,5,['hi','hello']]]]

console.log(arr5)

let flatArr = arr5.flat(Infinity)


console.log(flatArr)

// ! 10. reverse()

let arr6 = [ 4,6,8,9,23]

arr6.reverse()
console.log(arr6)
// ! 11. join()

let str = arr6.join("")


console.log(str)

// ! 12. slice()

let arr7 = [3,6,7,8,9,20]

let slicedArr = arr7.slice(1,4)

console.log(slicedArr) // 6,7,8

// ! 13. splice()

// arr7.splice(1,3,'hi')
// console.log(arr7)

arr7.splice(1,0,'hi') // it will add hi at the index 1


console.log(arr7)

// ! 14 Array.isArray()

console.log(Array.isArray(arr7))
console.log(Array.isArray("hi"))
