JavaScript Reference

Quick Reference

The Array toString() method returns a string with array values separated by commas, and does not change the original array.

<!-- html element to place output -->
<p id="my_cars"></p>
// array
let cars = ['Lamborghini', 'Ferrari', 'Maserati', 'Alfa Romeo'];

// create string from array
let cars_text = cars.toString();

// output the string to the HTML element
document.getElementById('my_cars').innerHTML = cars_text;

Note

Arrays count starting from zero NOT one. So item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on.

Output

Lamborghini,Ferrari,Maserati,Alfa Romeo

Syntax

array.toString()

JavaScript Notes:

  • When using JavaScript, single or double quotation marks are acceptable and work identically to one another; choose whichever you prefer, and stay consistent
  • JavaScript is a case-sensitive language; firstName is NOT the same as firstname
  • Arrays count starting from zero NOT one; so item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on
  • JavaScript variables must begin with a letter, $, or _
  • JavaScript variables are case sensitive (x is not the same as X)

We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
