More on JavaScript Array Objects
(Page 1 of 5 )

Just to recap, we previously discussed the concat() object, which allows us to join two or more arrays together and return the result. We also talked about join(), a handy dandy object that places every element in a given array into a delimiter separated string (you get to pick the delimiter).

Another object we previewed was pop(). We used it to remove and return the last or rightmost element in an array. We covered its counter as well, the push() object, which was used to add one or more elements to the right most or end of an array, and return the modified length of the array. Lastly, we learned how to reverse the order of the elements in our array with our good buddy, the reverse() object.

Before we pick up where we left off, here is a table showcasing our JavaScript objects:
