Discussion on: 5 Way to Append Item to Array in JavaScript

[Aleksandr Hovhannisyan]

const array = ['🦊'];

array.push('🐴');
array.splice(array.length, 0, '🐴');
array[array.length] = '🐴';

// Result
// ['🦊', '🐴']

What's the point of these two lines?

array.splice(array.length, 0, '🐴');
array[array.length] = '🐴';

Pretty sure array.push('🐴'); already gets the job done.

I think it is just showing that there are three ways to make a mutative change to an array, each line does the same thing.

array.push('🐴') simply adds to the end of the array
array.splice(array.length, 0, '🐴') removes 0 items from the end of the array, and adds one item
array[array.length] = '🐴' adds an item to a specific position, which in this case is at the end of the array

yes, that's what I'm trying to do, thanks for clarifying Luis!

Aleksandr, I see how's that can be confusing...maybe i should fix it up 🤔

Ah, yep, I thought it was all being executed sequentially
