Array.of()
The Array.of()
method creates a new Array
instance from a variable number of arguments, regardless of number or type of the
arguments.
The difference between Array.of()
and the
Array
constructor is in the handling of integer arguments:
Array.of(7)
creates an array with a single element,
7
, whereas Array(7)
creates an empty array
with a length
property of 7
(Note: this
implies an array of 7
empty slots, not slots with actual
undefined
values).
Array.of(7); // [7]
Array(7); // array of 7 empty slots
Array.of(1, 2, 3); // [1, 2, 3]
Array(1, 2, 3); // [1, 2, 3]
Syntax
Array.of(element0)
Array.of(element0, element1)
Array.of(element0, element1, /* ... ,*/ elementN)
Parameters
elementN
-
Elements used to create the array.
Return value
A new Array
instance.
