Adding or removing an element at either end of an Array
(return value: item or new array length)
| array before | method | return value | array after |
|---|---|---|---|
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .push("🟩") | 4 | ["🟦","🟡","🔺","🟩"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .pop() | "🔺" | ["🟦","🟡"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .unshift("🟩") | 4 | ["🟩","🟦","🟡","🔺"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .shift() | "🟦" | ["🟡","🔺"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .unshift(arr.pop()) | 3 | ["🔺","🟦","🟡"] |

Changing all of an Array
(the input Array is modified and returned)
| array before | method | return value |
|---|---|---|
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺","🟩"] | .fill("🟡") | ["🟡","🟡","🟡","🟡"] |
| Array(4) | .fill("🔺") | ["🔺","🔺","🔺","🔺"] |
| Array(4) | .fill("🔺") .map( (val,idx) => idx ) |
[ 0, 1, 2, 3 ] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺","🟩"] | .reverse() | ["🟩","🔺","🟡","🟦"] |
| ["c","a","d","b"] | .sort() | ["a","b","c","d"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺","🟩"] | .sort() | ["🔺","🟡","🟦","🟩"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺","🟩" ] | .copyWithin(1,2,3) | ["🟦",🔺","🔺","🟩" ] |

Finding Array elements
| array | method | return value |
|---|---|---|
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .includes( "🟦" ) | true |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .indexOf( "🟦" ) | 0 |
| ["🟦","🟡","🟦"] | .lastIndexOf( "🟦" ) | 2 |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .find( x => x==="🟦" ) | "🟦" |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .findIndex( x => x==="🟦" ) | 0 |

Creating a new Array from an existing Array
| array before | method (links to MDN) | return value | array after |
|---|---|---|---|
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .slice(1, 2) | ["🟡","🔺"] | ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .splice(1, 2) | ["🟡","🔺"] | ["🟦"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🟦"] | .filter( x => x==="🟦") | ["🟦","🟦"] | ["🟦","🟡","🟦"] |
| ["🟦","🟡"] | .map( x => x+x ) | ["🟦🟦", "🟡🟡"] | ["🟦","🟡"] |
| ["🟦","🟡"] | .map( x => [x+x] ) | [["🟦🟦"], ["🟡🟡"]] | ["🟦","🟡"] |
| ["🟦","🟡"] | .flatMap( x => [x,x] ) | ["🟦","🟦","🟡","🟡"] | ["🟦","🟡"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .concat( ["🟩","🔴"] ) | ["🟦","🟡","🔺","🟩","🔴"] | ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] |

Computing a summary of an Array
| array | method | return value |
|---|---|---|
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .some( x => x==="🟡" ) | true |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .every( x => x==="🟡" ) | false |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .join( "🟩" ) | "🟦🟩🟡🟩🔺" |
| [ 2, 3, 4 ] | .reduce( (result,x) => result+x, 10 ) | 19 10+2+3+4 |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .reduce( (result,x) => result+x,"🟩") | "🟩🟦🟡🔺" |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .reduceRight( (result,x) => result+x,"🟩") | "🟩🔺🟡🟦" |

Listing elements
| array | method | return value (iterators) |
|---|---|---|
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .keys() | [0,1,2] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .values() | ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] |
| ["🟦","🟡","🔺"] | .entries() | [ [0,"🟦"], [1,"🟡"], [2,"🔺"] ] |
spreading ... requiredbecause the above methods return iterators |
return value |
|---|---|
| [ ...["🟦","🟡","🔺","🟩"].entries() ] .map( ([key,val]) => val.repeat(key) ) |
["","🟡","🔺🔺","🟩🟩🟩"] |
