Arrays
---------
> array is collection of elements (values).
> array allows sim type of values (homogeneous) as well as diff types of values,
means one array can store group numbers, strings, booleans etc...
> storing group of values with same refname is called array.
adv:
> arrays are simplyfying coding when work with group of values.
> easy transporting data
> also used for data maintenance in application
> arrays we can create local scope or outer scope.
> arrays are belongs to reference/non-primitive datatype.
> arrays are created dynamically, and arrays are created in heap area.
>primitive dt stores data but non-primitive stores address of data.
Syn:
array creation:
Approch1 (using Literals):
let array = [ ]; <= 1st
var array = [val1, val2,...]; <= 2nd
Approch2 (using new kw):
var array = new Array(); <= 3rd
var array = new Array(val1,val2,...); <= 4th
datatype array[size]; <== c/c++
datatype array[] = new datatype[size]; <== java
accessing array:
array[index]
index is a slno of memory block, its start 0.
set value:
array[index]=value;
size of array:
array.length ==> predefine property
array.length=count; ==> it reset size of array
push()
add a new element @end of array
array.push(newvalue)
pop()
it returns ele of array (R -> L), it removes popped ele
array.pop()
shift()
it returns ele of array (L -> R), it removes shifted ele
array.shift();
unshift()
add a new element @begining of array
array.unshift(value);
indexOf()
finding given ele ava in an array or not
if found => index, 1st occurence
if not found => -1
by def search starts from 0th index or search starts from given index.
lastIndexOf()
finding given ele ava in an array or not
if found => index, last occurence
if not found => -1
include()
it searching the given ele found or not
if found => true
not found => false
sort()
it sorting an array in asce order
reverse()
it re-arrange ele of array in reverse order
splice()
it used to remove/delete ele from an array based given index
array.splice(st-index, no.of elements)
it used to insert ele in array based given index
array.splice(index, 0, newvalue)
it used to overwrite eles of array
join()
MDA
---
storing group of ele in tabler (row & col) format is called MDA (2DA).
mda is a coll of sda's
array creation:
var array=[ [val1, val2, ...],
[val1, val2, ...],
...
];
accessing array:
array[rowind][colind]
set value:
array[rowind][colind]=value;
size of array:
array.length => it returns no.of rows
array[rowind].length => it returns no.of cols
for in loop
----------
> it used to get elements from an array based on index
> this loop extracting elements in forward direction only (back not sup)
> we can't start the loop from middle of array (random access not poss)
Syn:
for(var in array)
{
code
}
for of loop
----------
> it used to get elements from an array based on value
> this loop extracting elements in forward direction only (back not sup)
> we can't start the loop from middle of array (random access not poss)
Syn:
for(var of array)
{
code
}
forEach loop
------------
> this loop used to get elements from an array based on value
> this loop extracting elements in forward direction only (back not sup)
> we can't start the loop from middle of array (random access not poss)
Syn:
array.forEach(function(variable){
code
});
