Array() constructor - JavaScript | MDN

Array() constructor

Baseline Widely available

The Array() constructor creates Array objects.

Syntax
new Array()
new Array(element1)
new Array(element1, element2)
new Array(element1, element2, /* …, */ elementN)
new Array(arrayLength)

Array()
Array(element1)
Array(element1, element2)
Array(element1, element2, /* …, */ elementN)
Array(arrayLength)

Note: Array() can be called with or without new. Both create a new Array instance.

Parameters
element1, …, elementN

A JavaScript array is initialized with the given elements, except in the case where a single argument is passed to the Array constructor and that argument is a number (see the arrayLength parameter below). Note that this special case only applies to JavaScript arrays created with the Array constructor, not array literals created with the square bracket syntax.

arrayLength

If the only argument passed to the Array constructor is an integer between 0 and 232 - 1 (inclusive), this returns a new JavaScript array with its length property set to that number.

Note: This implies an array of arrayLength empty slots, not slots with actual undefined values — see sparse arrays).

Exceptions
RangeError

Thrown if there's only one argument (arrayLength) that is a number, but its value is not an integer or not between 0 and 232 - 1 (inclusive).

Examples Array literal notation

Arrays can be created using the literal notation:

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana"];

console.log(fruits.length); // 2
console.log(fruits[0]); // "Apple"
Array constructor with a single parameter

Arrays can be created using a constructor with a single number parameter. An array is created with its length property set to that number, and the array elements are empty slots.

const arrayEmpty = new Array(2);

console.log(arrayEmpty.length); // 2
console.log(arrayEmpty[0]); // undefined; actually, it is an empty slot
console.log(0 in arrayEmpty); // false
console.log(1 in arrayEmpty); // false
const arrayOfOne = new Array("2"); // Not the number 2 but the string "2"

console.log(arrayOfOne.length); // 1
console.log(arrayOfOne[0]); // "2"
Array constructor with multiple parameters

If more than one argument is passed to the constructor, a new Array with the given elements is created.

const fruits = new Array("Apple", "Banana");

console.log(fruits.length); // 2
console.log(fruits[0]); // "Apple"
