Array Methods Part 1

Arrays are packed with many methods (functionalities). To access a method, write:

someArray.method()

Here is a list of the basic methods:

• push(element) - adds an element to the end of the array
• pop() - removes an element from the end of the array and returns it

• shift(element) - removes an element from the beginning of the array and returns it
• unshift(element) - adds an element to the beginning of the array

Here is an example of how to use the push method:

let myArray = ["orange", "banana", "apple"];
myArray.push("strawberry");
console.log(myArray);

This will output ["orange", "banana", "apple", "strawberry"].

Example of the pop method:

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let lastElement = myArray.pop();
console.log(myArray);
console.log(lastElement);

This will output [1, 2, 3, 4] and 5.

Example of the shift method:

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let firstElement = myArray.shift();
console.log(myArray);
console.log(firstElement);

This will output [2, 3, 4, 5] and 1.

Example of the unshift method:

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
myArray.unshift(0);
console.log(myArray);

This will output [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
