We'll see more ways of handling arrays without modifying the original array one soon.Ĩ️⃣ Copy an Array with the Spread Operator Whereas methods like push() and splice() directly modify the original array. This feature of splice() of returning a new array instead of modifying the original array is very useful while dealing with arrays in React (in state to be precise) where it is strictly necessary that we should not modify the existing array. In effect, we have created a new array by extracting elements from an existing array, while the original array is untouched. 'hail' is not included), while weatherConditions would still have. TodaysWeather would have the value (we can see that element at index 3 i.e. Let weatherConditions = let todaysWeather = weatherConditions.

Splice()'s first parameter represents the index on the array from which to begin removing elements, while the second parameter indicates the number of elements to delete.Ĭonst numbers = const startIndex = 3 const amountToDelete = 1 numbers. And remember, arrays are zero-indexed, so to indicate the first element of an array, we would use 0.

The first two parameters of splice() are integers that represent indexes, or positions, of the array that splice() is being called upon. Splice() can take up to 3 parameters, but for now, we'll focus on just the first 2. splice() allows us to do just that: remove any number of consecutive elements from anywhere in an array.

So far we've learned how to remove elements from the beginning and end of arrays using shift() and pop(), but what if we want to remove an element from somewhere in the middle? Or remove more than one element at once? Greetings would have the value, and popped would have the value hello.
