Arrays

---------
> array is collection of elements (values).
> storing group of values with same refname is called array.
> array allows similar type of values (homogeneous) as well as different types of
values, means one array can store group numbers, strings, booleans etc...
> we can arrays create in local scope or outer scope.
> arrays are belongs to reference/non-primitive datatype.
> arrays are created dynamically, and arrays are created in heap area.
> primitive dt stores data but non-primitive stores address of data.

adv:
> arrays are simplyfying coding when work with group of values.
> easy transporting data
> also used for data maintenance in application

Syn:
array creation:
Approach 1 (using Literals [ ] ):
let/var/const array = [ ];
let/var/const array = [val1, val2, val3, ...];

Approach 2 (using new kw):


var array = new Array();
var array = new Array(val1,val2,...);

datatype array[size]; <== c/c++


datatype array[] = new datatype[size]; <== java

accessing array:
array[index]
index is a slno of memory block, its start 0.
set value:
array[index]=value;
size of array:
array.length ==> predefine property, it returns size of array
array.length=N; ==> it reset size of array

Associative Arrays:
If you use a named index when accessing an array, JavaScript will redefine the
array to a standard object, and some array methods and properties will produce
undefined or incorrect results.

nested arrays
--------
storing group of ele in tabler (row & col) format is called MDA (2DA).
mda is a coll of sda's

array creation:
var array=[ [val1, val2, ...],
[val1, val2, ...],
...
];
accessing array:
array[rowind][colind]

set value:
array[rowind][colind]=value;
size of array:
array.length => it returns no.of rows
array[rowind].length => it returns no.of cols

array methods
--------------------------
pop()
it returns ele of array (R -> L), it removes popped ele
array.pop()

shift()
it returns ele of array (L -> R), it removes shifted ele
array.shift();

unshift()
add a new element @begining of array
array.unshift(value);

indexOf()
finding given ele ava in an array or not
if found => index, 1st occurence
if not found => -1
by def search starts from 0th index or search starts from given index.

lastIndexOf()
finding given ele ava in an array or not
if found => index, last occurence
if not found => -1

include()
it searching the given ele found or not
if found => true
not found => false

sort()
it sorting an array in asce order

reverse()
it re-arrange ele of array in reverse order

splice()
it used to remove/delete ele from an array based given index
array.splice(st-index, no.of elements)
it used to insert ele in array based given index
array.splice(index, 0, newvalue)
it used to overwrite eles of array

join()
this method creates and returns a new string by concatenating all of the elements
in an array (or an array-like object), separated by commas or a specified separator
string. If the array has only one item, then that item will be returned without
using the separator.
