arrays

An array is a variable containing one or more slots to put data into.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

var fruits = new Array();

fruits[0] = "banana";
fruits[1] = "apple";
fruits[2] = "mango";

for(i=0; i<fruits.length; i++)
{
  document.write(i, " : ", fruits[i], "<br>");
}

document.write("<br>");

var fruits2 = new Array();

fruits2["banana"] = "soft";
fruits2["apple"] = "crisp";
fruits2["mango"] = "mysterious";

for(x in fruits2)
{
  document.write(x + " : " + fruits2[x] + "<br>");
}

document.write("<br>");
document.write("fruits2[\"banana\"] : ", fruits2["banana"], "<br>");
document.write("fruits2[0] : ", fruits2[0], "<br>"); // too bad you can't access a named array by element number
//]]>
</script>
