Apply function to array elements to create another array, map()

This example show how to create array by applying function to a existing array, using map().

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body onload="doit();">

<h1>mobile-web-app.blogspot.com</h1>
<p id="p1"></p>
<div id="resultdiv"></div>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
 
function doit()
{   var array = [0, 45, 90, 180, 270, 360];

    document.getElementById("p1").innerHTML=array;
    var resultDiv = document.getElementById("resultdiv");
    
    var array2 = array.map(function(x) {return Math.sin(x * (Math.PI / 180))});
    printAll(array2, resultDiv);
    
    var array3 = array.map(cos);
    printAll(array3, resultDiv);
    
}

function cos(x){
    return Math.cos(x * (Math.PI / 180));
}

function printAll(arr, container){
    arr.forEach(
        function(element, index){
            var newP = document.createElement("p");
            newP.innerHTML = index + " : " + element;
            container.appendChild(newP);
        }
    );
}

</script>
</body>
</html>

Join array elements to a string

The join() method joins the array elements into a string.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body onload="doit();">

<h1>mobile-web-app.blogspot.com</h1>
<p id="p1"></p>
<p id="p1a"></p>
<p id="p1b"></p>
<p id="p1c"></p>
<p id="p1d"></p>
<p id="p2"></p>
<p id="p3"></p>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
 
function doit()
{   var array = [1, 'a', 'BCD', 3.1416];

    document.getElementById("p1").innerHTML=array;
    
    document.getElementById("p1a").innerHTML=array[0] + ": " + typeof(array[0]);
    document.getElementById("p1b").innerHTML=array[1] + ": " + typeof(array[1]);
    document.getElementById("p1c").innerHTML=array[2] + ": " + typeof(array[2]);
    document.getElementById("p1d").innerHTML=array[3] + ": " + typeof(array[3]);
    
    var array2 = array.join('+');
    
    document.getElementById("p2").innerHTML="array.join('+'): " + array2 + ": " + typeof(array2);
    document.getElementById("p3").innerHTML="array.join(''): " + array.join('');
    
}
 
</script>
</body>
</html>

Javascript example: add and remove elements from Array

This example show how to add/remove elements from array, using Javascript:

push(): Add new elements to the end of an array
pop(): Remove the last element of an array
unshift(): Add new elements to the beginning of an array
shift(): Remove the first element of an array

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body onload="doit();">

<h1>mobile-web-app.blogspot.com</h1>
<p id="p1"></p>
<p id="p2"></p>
<p id="p3a"></p>
<p id="p3b"></p>
<p id="p4a"></p>

<p id="p5"></p>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
 
function doit()
{ var array = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'];
 document.getElementById("p1").innerHTML=array;
 
 array.push('E'); //Add element in end
 document.getElementById("p2").innerHTML="push('E'): " + array;
 
 var eleFirst = array.shift(); //remove first element
 document.getElementById("p3a").innerHTML="array.shift(): " + eleFirst;
 document.getElementById("p3b").innerHTML=array;
 
 var eleLast = array.pop();  //remove last element
 document.getElementById("p4a").innerHTML="array.pop(): " + eleLast;
 document.getElementById("p4b").innerHTML=array;
 
 array.unshift('a'); //Add element in front
 document.getElementById("p5").innerHTML="unshift('a'): " + array;
}
