In this tutorial, you will learn JavaScript Array Methods including examples.

JavaScript Array Methods

The following array methods in javascript:

  • Array pop() Method
  • Array push() Method
  • Array toString() Method
  • Array join() Method
  • Array splice() Method
  • Array sort() Method
  • Array shift() Method
  • Array unshift() Method
  • Array reverse() Method
  • Array concat() Method
  • Array slice() Method
  • Array filter() Method
  • Array find() Method
  • Array forEach() Method
  • Array map() Method
  • Array reduce() Method
  • Array some() Method
  • Array every() Method
  • FindIndex() Array Method
  • Array Include() Method
  • IndexOf() Array Method
  • Array lastIndexOf() Method
  • JavaScript Array isArray() Method

1: Array pop() Method
The javascript pop() method is used to remove the last element from an array.

The method returns the value of the removed item.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"];
 lang.pop(); 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

Output
// New array:  PHP, Python, Java
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2: Array push() Method
The js push() method is used to add a new element to the end from an array.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"];
 lang.push("JavaScript");  
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

Output
// New array:  PHP, Python, Java, C, JavaScript
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3: Array toString() Method
The js toString() method is used to convert array to string.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"];
 lang.toString();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

// output
PHP, Python, Java, C

4: Array join() Method
The javascript join() method is used to join the elements of an array into a string.

In otherwords, The "join()" method puts all the elements of the array into a string list. This method difference from "toString()" method.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"];
 lang.join(" - ");
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

// output
PHP - Python - Java - C
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5: Array splice() Method
The javascript splice() method is used to add and remove items from an array.

syntax
================
array.splice(index, howMany, [element1][, …, elementN]);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • index − Index param specifies where a new item should be inserted.
  • howMany − An integer indicating the number of old array elements to remove.
  • If howMany set to 0, no items will be removed in array list. Ex:-
 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"];
 lang.splice(2, 0, "Javascript", "Rust"); 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

// Output
new array: PHP, Python, Javascript, Rust, Java, C
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

6: Array sort() Method
The javascript array sort() method either alphabetic or numeric sorts an array.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"];
 lang.sort();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

// Outuput
array: C, Java, PHP, Python
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

7: Array shift() Method
The javascript shift() method is used to remove the first element from an array.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"]; 
 lang.shift(); 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

// Output
new array: Python, Java, C
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

8: Array unshift() Method
The js unshift() method adds a new element to the beginning of an array.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"]; 
 cars.unshift("JavaScript");   
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

//Output 
New array: JavaScript, PHP, Python, Java, C
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

9: Array reverse() Method
The method is used for reverses the order of the elements in an array.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"];             
 lang.reverse();   
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

// Outuput
array: C, Java, PHP, Python
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

10: Array concat() Method
The javascript concat() method joins two or more arrays and makes a new one.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C"];  
 var newlang = ["JavaScript", "Rust"];  
 var join = lang.concat(newlang); 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

// Output
New array: PHP, Python, Java, C, JavaScript, Rust
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

11: Array slice() Method
The js slice() array() method is used to selected elements in an array and make a new one. It can take one or two arguments.

Ex:-

 var lang = ["PHP", "Python", "Java", "C", "JavaScript"];
 var lang = cars.slice(1, 4); 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

//Output 
New Array : Python, JavaScript
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

12: Array filter() Method
The js filter() method is used to filter the array, according our conditions.

Ex:-

<p>function isCheck(value) {<br>
  return value < 10;<br>
}

var filter = [10, 5, 16, 4, 7, 12].filter(isCheck);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

Output
 //new array: 5,4,7
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In this example the function filter() creates a new array. Those elements that satisfy the condition checked by isCheck() function.

13: Array find() Method
The js find() method is used find the first element of an array.

Ex:-

function isCheck(value) {
  return value >= 10;
}
var find= [10, 5, 16, 4, 7, 12].find(isCheck);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

Output
// 12
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

14: Array forEach() Method
The JavaScript Array forEach method permits the call of a function on each element of an array in an easy way.

Ex:-

 var num = [18, 12, 10, 15];
 num.forEach(function(item) {
    document.writeln(item);
 });
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

Output
 // return 
18 12 10 15
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

15: Array map() Method
The js map() method, creates an array by calling a specific function on each element in the original array.

Ex:-

var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25];
var x = numbers.map(Math.sqrt);
document.write(x);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

 Output
 // return   
 2,3,4,5 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

16: Array reduce() Method
The javascript array reduce() method reduces the array to a single value.

Ex:-

var numArr = [
        {  name: 'a', num: 50},
        {  name: 'b', num: 50},
        {  name: 'c', num: 75},
        {  name: 'd', num: 35},
        {  name: 'e', num: 25 },
        {  name: 'f', num: 40 },
    ];

    var sum = numArr.reduce(function (total, currentValue) {
        return total + currentValue.num;
    }, 0);

    document.write( "javascript- Sum of the array value is :- " + sum );
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

Output
 // return   
 275
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

17: Array some() Method
The javascript array some() method checks whether at least one element of the array matches the given predicate. if none of the array elements match the predicate, then it will return false

Ex:-

var nums = [3, 18, 19, 20, 25];

function checkNumber(num) {
  return num >= 25;
}

document.write(nums.some(checkNumber));
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

Output
 // return   
 True
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

18: Array every() Method
The javascript array every() method checks whether all elements of the array match the predicate:

Ex:-

var nums = [3, 18, 19, 20, 25];

function checkNumber(num) {
  return num >= 3;
}

document.write(nums.every(checkNumber));
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

 // return   
 true
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

19: findIndex() Array Method
The javascript findIndex() method is used to find first occurrence position from an array.

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

let res = numbers.findIndex(e => e % 2 == 1);

document.write(res); //
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

 // return   
 0
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

20: Array include() Method
The js includes() method returns true if an javascript array contains a given element; Otherwise, it returns false.

[1,2,3].includes(2); // true
[1,2,3].includes(4); // false
[1,2,3].includes(1,1); // false
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

 // return   
 true
 false
 false
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

21: indexOf() Array Method
The js array indexOf() method is used to find the first occurrence position of an array And returns the index of the first occurrence of the element. If the element is not found, -1 return.

var arr = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, 10, 50];
document.write(arr.indexOf(10)); // 0
document.write(arr.indexOf(10)); // 4
document.write(arr.indexOf(10)); // 5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

 // return   
0
4
5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

22: Array lastIndexOf() Method
This is similar to the indexOf() method, but one difference in these. The Javascript array lastIndexOf() method is used to find the last occurrence position of an array. It returns -1 if it cannot find the element.

var arr = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, 10, 40];
document.write(arr.lastIndexOf(10)); // 6
document.write(arr.lastIndexOf(40)); // 7
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

 // return   
6
7
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

23: JavaScript Array isArray() Method
The javascript array isArray() method is used to check whether an object is an array. This function returns true if the object is an array, otherwise return false.

var arr = [5, 3, 10, 1, 6, 12]

document.write("Retrun value = " + Array.isArray(arr)); 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result of the above example is:

Retrun value = true  
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
