Microsoft® JScript™ Array Object | Language Reference Version 2

See Also Methods Properties

##### Description

> Provides support for creation of arrays of any data type.

##### Syntax

> new Array()
> new Array(size)
> new Array(element0, element1, ..., elementn)

> The Array object creation syntax has these parts:

> Part | Description
> size | The size of the array. As arrays are zero-based, created elements will have indexes from zero to size -1.
> element0,...,elementn | The elements to place in the array. This creates an array with n + 1 elements, and a length of n.

##### Remarks

> After an array is created, the individual elements of the array can be accessed using [ ] notation, for example:

> >     var my_array = new Array();
> >     for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
> >         {
> >         my_array[i] = i;
> >         }
> >     x = my_array[4];

> Since arrays in Microsoft JScript are zero-based, the last statement in the preceding example accesses the fifth element of the array. That element contains the value 4.

> If only one argument is passed to the Array constructor, and the argument is a number, it is coerced into an unsigned integer, and the value is used as the size of the array. Otherwise, the parameter passed in is used as the only element of the array.
