Enough JavaScript to get you Started : #9 Array

The definition resides in usage of Array

👉 imagine someone gave you a definition which says store all the fruits and display them

👉 Idea 1 (foolish way to manage things) : try to create 30 to 40 variables

👉 Idea 2 (smarter way to manage things) : creating a Array named fruits

What is Array anyway?

👉 Arrays are just collection of data types

👉 I'm sure if you are beginner the line i written above will not make any sense to you

👉 Imagine creating a one big variable or container which can hold multiple small variables ,so it's easy to access

👉 Real life example : box of chocolates 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫 which can hold 100s of chocolates , now imagine managing 100 chocolates without box (pretty messed up right ? 🤣)

Graphical Representation of Array

👉 Array holds multiple values, whereas an ordinary variable hold a single value

👉 Array values must be inside Square braces [ ]

👉 Arrays are index based and index starts from 0

👉 In simple words if you want to access "Apple", you need to write

fruits = ["apple","banana","grapes,"cherry"]

console.log(fruits[1]); ❌

console.log(fruits[0]); ✅
// logs "apple"

👉 Printing Whole Array

fruits = ["apple","banana","grapes,"cherry"];

console.logs(fruits);

//logs ["apple","banana","grapes,"cherry"]

👉 Iterating over individual elements of array

fruits = ["apple","banana","grapes,"cherry"];

// for of generally used for arrays

for (var fruit of fruits)
{
      console.log(fruit);
}
