Arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable.

Each value is called an element, and each element has a numeric position in the array, known as its index.

Arrays are zero-indexed, meaning the first element is at index 0, the second at index 1, and so on.

Arrays can contain any data type, including numbers, strings, and objects.

const arr1 = [2, 4, 6]; array

arr1[0]; element at index 0 → 2

arr1[1]; element at index 1 → 4

arr1[2]; element at index 2 → 6

arr1[3]; element at index 3 → undefined index not found

---

Numbers are used to represent both integer and floating-point values.

Numbers are most commonly expressed in literal forms like 255 or 3.14159 ↴

let num1 = 5; → number

let num2 = 2.5; → number

let num3 = num1 + num2;

console.log(num3); returns ↴

7.5 → number

Calculate the average of an array using ↴

forEach() method → calls a function for each element in an array, executing a provided function once for each array element.

length property → sets or returns the number of elements in an array.

---

forEach() method calls a function for each element in an array, executing a provided function once for each array element.

The method does not return a new array, it always returns undefined

const arr2 = [2, 4, 6, 8];

arr2.forEach((element, index, array) => {

array[index] = element * 2;

});

console.log(arr2); returns ↴

[4, 8, 12, 16] → value of each element is doubled

const arr3 = [2, 4, 6, 8];

arr3.forEach((element, index) => {

console.log(index, element)

}); returns ↴

0 2

1 4

2 6

3 8 → index and element printed to console

Use forEach() when an action is needed to be performed on each element,

not when a new array needs to be generated from the current one.

---

length property returns the number of elements in an array.

const arr4 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

arr4.length; returns ↴

6 → there are 6 elements in the array

---

Initialize a variable to hold the array to calculate the average.

const array1 = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]; → user input

---

Define a function findAverage to calculate the average of an array.

function findAverage(arr) {}

The function takes an array as input arr and returns the average of that array.

Initialize sum to zero.

let sum = 0 sum

forEach() method loops through the array, executing a provided function once for each array element.

arr.forEach(callbackFn)

callback function ↴

(num) => sum += num

Add the current number num to sum

arr.forEach((num) => sum += num)

Return the average by dividing sum by the number of elements in array arr

return sum / arr.length

---

Call the function with ↴

findAvgerage(array1);

---

Calculate the average of an array.

const array1 = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10];

function findAverage(arr) {

let sum = 0;

arr.forEach((num) => {

sum += num;

});

return sum / arr.length;

}

call function

findAverage(array1); returns ↴
