# Array in java script
Array is [collection](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1718/collections-in-java) of similar type of elements. We can use concept of array to make [program](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12337/scaling-up-your-mentorship-program) more readable, easy to [handle large](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/161330/what-are-some-efficient-ways-to-handle-large-input-data-in-python) data and implementing [concept of loops](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/111558/can-you-explain-the-concept-of-loops) in program. With the help of array the size of code is also decrease. When we allocate memory to [objects](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159749/what-are-data-transfer-objects-dtos-and-why-are-they-used-in-api-development) in array then allocation of element in memory is continuous. Array is used in static [data structure](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/332406/why-it-is-important-to-learn-data-structure-and-algorithm) to represents data in memory. In this demonstration we learn how to [implement array](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/23091/how-to-implement-array-in-c-plus-plus-plus-plus-using-function) in java script.\
##### Creating an array object
We can use new Array () method to create an array object in java script like following statement creates an array object.\
```
var fruitCollection = new Array();
```
##### Initializing values in Array Object
Here we can use [ ] to initialize values in array object like following example demonstrate.fruitCollection = ["Mango", "Pine Apple", "Apple", "Orange"];
An example which demonstrate use of Array Object
```
```
##### Output of the following code snippet is as follows
