Update Elements

To update an element in an array, we use the following syntax:

1arrayName[index] = newValue;

Examples:

Let's take a look at some examples to better understand the concept:

  1. Updating a Single Element:
    1let fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'];
    2fruits[0] = 'orange';
    3// fruits array will now be ['orange', 'banana', 'cherry']
    In this example, the element at index 0 (which is 'apple') is updated to 'orange'. The resulting array will have 'orange' at the first position.
  2. Updating Multiple Elements:
    1let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    2numbers[2] = 6;
    3numbers[4] = 7;
    4// numbers array will now be [1, 2, 6, 4, 7]
    Here, we update the elements at index positions 2 and 4 in the 'numbers' array. The values at those positions are modified to 6 and 7, respectively.
