Description
The Array class lets you access and manipulate arrays. An array is an object whose properties are
identified by a number representing their position in the array. This number is referred to as the
index. All arrays are zero-based, which means that the first element in the array is [0], the second
element is [1], and so on. In the following example,
my_array contains the months of the year.
my_array[0] = "January"
my_array[1] = "February"
my_array[2] = "March"
my_array[3] = "April"
To create an Array object, use the constructor new Array() or the array access operator ([]). To
access the elements of an array, use the array access operator (
[]).
