Hey nice post, however "emptying array" can simply be done with array=[]
array=[]
Technically not emptying the array, rather replacing it with a new empty one
but it still kinda achieves the exact same thing.
Not really. If you have another reference to the original array, and you use this method to 'empty' it - stuff is going to break as the other reference will still contain the unemptied array
Thanks for the support Nathan.
I've never met that kind of error but I'll try it in the future. Thanks for the assistance though.
var a = [1, 2, 3] var b = a; a = []; console.log(b); // [1, 2, 3]
