JavaScript Array push Method (Live Playground)

The push method in JavaScript allows you to add one or more elements to the end of an array.

Here's a simple example:

let fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'mango'];

fruits.push('kiwi');

console.log(fruits);
// Expected output: ["apple", "banana", "mango", "kiwi"]

In this example, the push method adds "kiwi" to the end of the fruits array. The new length of the array is returned by the push method.

The push method can also accept multiple arguments to add multiple elements:

let fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'mango'];

fruits.push('kiwi', 'orange');

console.log(fruits);
// Expected output: ["apple", "banana", "mango", "kiwi", "orange"]

Here, "kiwi" and "orange" are added to the end of the fruits array. Remember, the push method modifies the original array.

To summarize, the push method in JavaScript is a very useful method for adding elements to the end of an array. By using push, you can dynamically increase the size of an array, making it a powerful tool in your JavaScript arsenal.

Remember to practice using push with different arrays and arguments to better understand how it works!
