Day 3: Arrays and Objects in JavaScript Explored

Arrays

Arrays in JavaScript are used to store and manipulate lists of values. They are versatile and can hold various data types.

Creating and Accessing Arrays

// Creating an array
let fruits = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana'];

// Accessing elements
console.log(fruits[0]);  // Output: apple

Modifying Arrays

// Adding elements
fruits.push('grape');

// Removing elements
fruits.pop();

Iterating through Arrays

// Using for loop
for (let i = 0; i < fruits.length; i++) {
    console.log(fruits[i]);
}

// Using forEach
fruits.forEach(function(fruit) {
    console.log(fruit);
});

Objects

Objects allow you to group related data and functions together. They consist of key-value pairs.

Creating and Accessing Objects

// Creating an object
let person = {
    name: 'John',
    age: 30,
    occupation: 'Developer'
};

// Accessing properties
console.log(person.name);  // Output: John

Modifying Objects

// Updating property
person.age = 31;

// Adding new property
person.location = 'City';

What is the main difference between arrays and objects in JavaScript?

Answer: Arrays are used to store ordered lists of values, while objects are used to store key-value pairs of related data.

How do you add and remove elements from an array in JavaScript?

Answer: push() adds elements to the end, pop() removes the last element. Other methods like shift() and unshift() manipulate elements at the beginning.

Explain the concept of key-value pairs in objects.

Answer: Objects consist of key-value pairs where each key is a string (or symbol) and each value can be of any data type, including other objects.

How can you iterate through an array in JavaScript?

Answer: You can use a for loop, forEach method, or other array methods like map, filter, and reduce for iteration.
