We use square brackets to create an array:

const array = []; // empty array
console.log(array);

Array value types

We can put any values inside the array, separated by commas:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
console.log(numbers);

const strings = ['this', 'array', 'contains', 'strings'];
console.log(strings);

const mixed = ['this', 1, 'has', 2, 'numbers'];
console.log(mixed);

Arrays from strings

There are a few other ways to create arrays.

We can split the characters in a string into an array:

const letters = 'Another String'.split();
console.log(letters);

Use const for arrays

We should always use const to create an array.

We can still add and remove values from the array if we use const, but we can't accidentally assign another array to the variable.
