An array is a container that can store a set or series of related data.
first, why use arrays.
A. To solve the problem of storing and using large amounts of related data.
B. Simulation is really the world.
second, how to create an array
A. Create by Object-- var a=new Array ();
How to assign a value:
1. Direct Assignment--var a=new Array (element 1, Element 2, Element 3, Element 4,........)
var a=new Array (Numeric)
If there is only one element, and this element is a numeric type, then he is the length of the specified array and his value is undefined
var a=New Array (3); alert (a.length); Results:3var a=New Array (3,2); alert (a.length); Results:2
2. Declaration of value later
var a=New Array (); a[0]=1; a[2]=2; a[0]=3;
B. The way of stealth declaration--var a=[];
How to assign a value:
1. Direct Assignment:
var a=[1,2,3,4];
2. Declaration of value later
var a=[];a[0]=1; a[1]=2; a[2]=3;
JavaScript arrays can store values of any type
var a=new Array (3,true, ' abc ');
Iii. Accessing the elements of an array (accessed through an array of (brackets) subscript)
array subscript starting from 0, his maximum value, is the Length property-1
Iv. iterating through the elements of an array
// For loop efficiency optimization var a=[1,2,3]; for (var i=0,max=a.length;i<max;i++) { alert (a[i]);} // while (); var i=0; while (i<a.length) { alert (a[i]); I+ +;} // For in (only a few arrays can be executed from the first one several times) inefficient for (var in a) { alert (a[i]);}
v. Classification of Arrays
A. Type of subscript
1. Subscript is a numeric type (indexed array)
var a=[];a[0]=1; a[1]=2; a[
2. Subscript is a string type (associative array)
var a=[];a[' name ']=2; alert (a.name); Popup:2alert (a[' name '); Eject: 2alert (a); Popup: Empty
B. Dimensions to classify
A. One-dimensional arrays
var a=[1,2,3];
B. Two-d arrays
var arr=[[1,2,3],[4,5,6]];alert (arr[1][1])
Attention:
//can store any type of datavara=[1, ' name ',true, ' ABC '];//only one-dimensional arrays are supported. varA=[];a[0][0]=2Alert (a[0][0]); ErrorvarA=[[]];a[0][0]=2Alert (a[0][0]); Eject: 2//variable length. vara=[1,2];alert (a.length); Results:2a[4]=2; alert (a.length); Results:5//In the case of an indexed array, the subscript always starts at 0, and if the length is specified but is not assigned, his value is automatically assigned to undefinedvarA=[];a[3]=2; alert (a[2]); Results: Undefinedalert (a.length); Results:4
