Building Arrays Incrementally.

Functions can utilize push() to build arrays incrementally based on certain conditions or iterations.

function generateEvenNumbers(count) {
    let evenNumbers = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        if (i % 2 === 0) {
            evenNumbers.push(i);
        }
    }
    return evenNumbers;
}

console.log(generateEvenNumbers(10)); // Output: [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]

In this example, the generateEvenNumbers() function generates an array of even numbers up to a specified count. It uses push() to add each even number to the array.

Stack Operations:

push() is often used in stack implementations. Stacks are data structures that follow the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) principle. push() can add elements to the top of the stack.

let stack = [];

function pushToStack(item) {
    stack.push(item);
}

function popFromStack() {
    return stack.pop();
}

pushToStack('a');
pushToStack('b');
console.log(stack); // Output: ['a', 'b']

console.log(popFromStack()); // Output: 'b'
console.log(stack); // Output: ['a']

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In this example,** pushToStack()** adds elements to the stack using push(), and popFromStack() removes elements from the stack using pop(), following the LIFO principle.

These are just a few examples of how the push() method can be used within functions in JavaScript to manipulate arrays. It's a versatile method that is commonly employed for array manipulation tasks.
