Description

Provides support for creation of arrays of any data type.

Syntax

new Array()
new Array(size)
new Array(element0, element1, ..., elementn)

The Array object creation syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
size	The size of the array. As arrays are zero-based, created elements will have indices from zero to size - 1.
element0,...,elementn	The elements to place in the array. This creates an array with n + 1 elements, and a length of n.

Remarks

After an array is created, the individual elements of the array can be accessed using [ ] notation, for example, x = my_array[4];.

Since arrays in Microsoft JScript are zero-based, the preceding example accesses the fifth element of the array.

If only one argument is passed to the Array constructor, and it is a number, it is coerced into an unsigned integer and the value is used as the size of the array. Otherwise, the parameter passed in is used as the only element of the array.
