#javascript
//with arrays it is always 1 extra from 0
//.push adds to end of array
const chores = ['wash dishes', 'do laundry', 'take out trash'];
chores.push('item 3', 'item 4');
console.log(chores);
////.pop removes the last
const chores = ['wash dishes', 'do laundry', 'take out trash', 'cook dinner', 'mop floor'];
chores.pop();
console.log(chores);
///.shift removes the first
const groceryList = ['orange juice', 'bananas', 'coffee beans', 'brown rice', 'pasta', 'coconut oil', 'plantains'];
groceryList.shift();
console.log(groceryList);
///.unshift adds to beginning of array
groceryList.unshift('popcorn');
console.log(groceryList);
//use .slice to select items and copy in an array. for example .slice(1,4) means 1-4.
// use .splice to actually select and change the array and replace it with a new string see secret message excerise for better explanation.
console.log(groceryList.slice(1,4));
groceryList.splice(1,4);
// .indexOf allows you to select a particular item
const pastaIndex = groceryList.indexOf('pasta');
console.log(pastaIndex);
///when you pass an array into a function, if the array is mutated inside the function, that change will be maintained outside the function as well. You might also see this concept explained as pass-by-reference since what we’re actually passing to the function is a reference to where the variable memory is stored and changing the memory.
const concept = ['arrays', 'can', 'be', 'mutated'];
function changeArr(arr){
arr[3] = 'MUTATED';
}
changeArr(concept);
console.log(concept);
function removeElement(newArr){
newArr.pop();
}
removeElement(concept);
console.log(concept);
