Sometimes you must push an element at the front of the array. This is not possible with the regular <span style="color:#cf2e2e" class="tadv-color">push()</span>
method of the array class.
Fortunately, JavaScript has a function called<span style="color:#cf2e2e" class="tadv-color"> unshift()</span>
that push the elements at the front of the array.
The shift method can be used to push
- single element
- two or more element
- a sub array
In this example, we will try to push a single element and a sub-array to a JavaScript array.
Consider the following example.
var myArray = new Array(23,44,5.5,'tomato');
myArray.unshift("pen");
myArray.unshift([23,66]);
console.log(myArray)
The output of the above script is given below.
[[23,66],"pen",23,44,5.5,'tomato']
