Length
Arrays have a property called length
, and it's pretty much exactly as it sounds, it's the length of the array.
let array = [1, 2, 3];
let l = array.length;
// Result: l = 3
The length property also sets the number of elements in an array. For example.
let fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
fruits.length = 2;
console.log(fruits);
// Result: ['Banana', 'Orange']
You can also use the length
property to get the last element of an array by using it as an index. For example:
console.log(fruits[fruits.length - 1]); // Result: Orange
You can also use the length
property to add elements to the end of an array. For example:
fruits[fruits.length] = "Pineapple";
console.log(fruits); // Result: ['Banana', 'Orange', 'Pineapple']
The length
property is automatically updated when elements are added or removed from the array.
It's also worth noting that the length
property is not a method, so you don't need to use parentheses when accessing it. It's simply a property of the array object that you can access like any other object property.
