Arrays

An array is an ordered collection data structure used to store multiple items sequentially.

01 How It Works

Think of a numbered row of storage bins.

Arrays allocate zero-indexed numerical slots automatically for each sequential element item.

example.js
const fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
  1. 1. Initialize using square brackets [].

  2. 2. Insert items separated by commas.

  3. 3. Access elements via index numbers.

02 Practical Example

Here is how you might see this concept applied in real-world code:

practical.js
const scores = [90, 85, 92];
console.log(scores.length);

Key Takeaway

Arrays maintain ordered lists of data items efficiently.
