Hướng dẫn javascript push 2d array

Description

In JavaScript, arrays aren't primitives but are instead Array objects with the following core characteristics:

• JavaScript arrays are resizable and can contain a mix of different data types. (When those characteristics are undesirable, use typed arrays instead.)
• JavaScript arrays are not associative arrays and so, array elements cannot be accessed using arbitrary strings as indexes, but must be accessed using nonnegative integers (or their respective string form) as indexes.
• JavaScript arrays are zero-indexed: the first element of an array is at index 0, the second is at index 1, and so on — and the last element is at the value of the array's length property minus 1.
• JavaScript array-copy operations create shallow copies. (All standard built-in copy operations with any JavaScript objects create shallow copies, rather than deep copies).

Examples

This section provides some examples of common array operations in JavaScript.

Create an array

This example shows three ways to create new array: first using array literal notation, then using the Array() constructor, and finally using String.prototype.split() to build the array from a string.

// 'fruits' array created using array literal notation.
const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana'];
console.log(fruits.length);
// 2

// 'fruits2' array created using the Array() constructor.
const fruits2 = new Array('Apple', 'Banana');
console.log(fruits2.length);
// 2

// 'fruits3' array created using String.prototype.split().
const fruits3 = 'Apple, Banana'.split(', ');
console.log(fruits3.length);
// 2

Create a string from an array

This example uses the join() method to create a string from the fruits array.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana'];
const fruitsString = fruits.join(', ');
console.log(fruitsString);
// "Apple, Banana"

Access an array item by its index

This example shows how to access items in the fruits array by specifying the index number of their position in the array.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana'];

// The index of an array's first element is always 0.
fruits[0]; // Apple

// The index of an array's second element is always 1.
fruits[1]; // Banana

// The index of an array's last element is always one
// less than the length of the array.
fruits[fruits.length - 1]; // Banana

// Using a index number larger than the array's length
// returns 'undefined'.
fruits[99]; // undefined

Find the index of an item in an array

This example uses the indexOf() method to find the position (index) of the string "Banana" in the fruits array.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana'];
console.log(fruits.indexOf('Banana'));
// 1

Check if an array contains a certain item

This example shows two ways to check if the fruits array contains "Banana" and "Cherry": first with the includes() method, and then with the indexOf() method to test for an index value that's not -1.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana'];

fruits.includes('Banana'); // true
fruits.includes('Cherry'); // false

// If indexOf() doesn't return -1, the array contains the given item.
fruits.indexOf('Banana') !== -1; // true
fruits.indexOf('Cherry') !== -1; // false

Append an item to an array

This example uses the push() method to append a new string to the fruits array.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana'];
const newLength = fruits.push('Orange');
console.log(fruits);
// ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"]
console.log(newLength);
// 3

Remove the last item from an array

This example uses the pop() method to remove the last item from the fruits array.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange'];
const removedItem = fruits.pop();
console.log(fruits);
// ["Apple", "Banana"]
console.log(removedItem);
// Orange

Note: pop() can only be used to remove the last item from an array. To remove multiple items from the end of an array, see the next example.

Remove multiple items from the end of an array

This example uses the splice() method to remove the last 3 items from the fruits array.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Strawberry', 'Mango', 'Cherry'];
const start = -3;
const removedItems = fruits.splice(start);
console.log(fruits);
// ["Apple", "Banana"]
console.log(removedItems);
// ["Strawberry", "Mango", "Cherry"]

Truncate an array down to just its first N items

This example uses the splice() method to truncate the fruits array down to just its first 2 items.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Strawberry', 'Mango', 'Cherry'];
const start = 2;
const removedItems = fruits.splice(start);
console.log(fruits);
// ["Apple", "Banana"]
console.log(removedItems);
// ["Strawberry", "Mango", "Cherry"]

Remove the first item from an array

This example uses the shift() method to remove the first item from the fruits array.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana'];
const removedItem = fruits.shift();
console.log(fruits);
// ["Banana"]
console.log(removedItem);
// Apple

Note: shift() can only be used to remove the first item from an array. To remove multiple items from the beginning of an array, see the next example.

Remove multiple items from the beginning of an array

This example uses the splice() method to remove the first 3 items from the fruits array.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Strawberry', 'Cherry', 'Banana', 'Mango'];
const start = 0;
const deleteCount = 3;
const removedItems = fruits.splice(start, deleteCount);
console.log(fruits);
// ["Banana", "Mango"]
console.log(removedItems);
// ["Apple", "Strawberry", "Cherry"]

Add a new first item to an array

This example uses the unshift() method to add, at index 0, a new item to the fruits array — making it the new first item in the array.

const fruits = ['Banana', 'Mango'];
const newLength = fruits.unshift('Strawberry');
console.log(fruits);
// ["Strawberry", "Banana", "Mango"]
console.log(newLength);
// 3

Remove a single item by index

This example uses the splice() method to remove the string "Banana" from the fruits array — by specifying the index position of "Banana".

const fruits = ['Strawberry', 'Banana', 'Mango'];
const start = fruits.indexOf('Banana');
const deleteCount = 1;
const removedItems = fruits.splice(start, deleteCount);
console.log(fruits);
// ["Strawberry", "Mango"]
console.log(removedItems);
// ["Banana"]

Remove multiple items by index

This example uses the splice() method to remove the strings "Banana" and "Strawberry" from the fruits array — by specifying the index position of "Banana", along with a count of the number of total items to remove.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Strawberry', 'Mango'];
const start = 1;
const deleteCount = 2;
const removedItems = fruits.splice(start, deleteCount);
console.log(fruits);
// ["Apple", "Mango"]
console.log(removedItems);
// ["Banana", "Strawberry"]

Replace multiple items in an array

This example uses the splice() method to replace the last 2 items in the fruits array with new items.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Strawberry'];
const start = -2;
const deleteCount = 2;
const removedItems = fruits.splice(start, deleteCount, 'Mango', 'Cherry');
console.log(fruits);
// ["Apple", "Mango", "Cherry"]
console.log(removedItems);
// ["Banana", "Strawberry"]

Iterate over an array

This example uses a for...of loop to iterate over the fruits array, logging each item to the console.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Mango', 'Cherry'];
for (const fruit of fruits) {
  console.log(fruit);
}
// Apple
// Mango
// Cherry

But for...of is just one of many ways to iterate over any array; for more ways, see Loops and iteration, and see the documentation for the every(), filter(), flatMap(), map(), reduce(), and reduceRight() methods — and see the next example, which uses the forEach() method.

Call a function on each element in an array

This example uses the forEach() method to call a function on each element in the fruits array; the function causes each item to be logged to the console, along with the item's index number.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Mango', 'Cherry'];
fruits.forEach((item, index, array) => {
  console.log(item, index);
});
// Apple 0
// Mango 1
// Cherry 2

Merge multiple arrays together

This example uses the concat() method to merge the fruits array with a moreFruits array, to produce a new combinedFruits array. Notice that fruits and moreFruits remain unchanged.

const fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Strawberry'];
const moreFruits = ['Mango', 'Cherry'];
const combinedFruits = fruits.concat(moreFruits);
console.log(combinedFruits);
// ["Apple", "Banana", "Strawberry", "Mango", "Cherry"]

// The 'fruits' array remains unchanged.
console.log(fruits);
// ["Apple", "Banana", "Strawberry"]

// The 'moreFruits' array also remains unchanged.
console.log(moreFruits);
// ["Mango", "Cherry"]

Copy an array

This example shows three ways to create a new array from the existing fruits array: first by using spread syntax, then by using the from() method, and then by using the slice() method.

const fruits = ['Strawberry', 'Mango'];

// Create a copy using spread syntax.
const fruitsCopy = [...fruits];
// ["Strawberry", "Mango"]

// Create a copy using the from() method.
const fruitsCopy2 = Array.from(fruits);
// ["Strawberry", "Mango"]

// Create a copy using the slice() method.
const fruitsCopy3 = fruits.slice();
// ["Strawberry", "Mango"]

All built-in array-copy operations (spread syntax, Array.from(), Array.prototype.slice(), and Array.prototype.concat()) create shallow copies. If you instead want a deep copy of an array, you can use JSON.stringify() to convert the array to a JSON string, and then JSON.parse() to convert the string back into a new array that's completely independent from the original array.

const fruitsDeepCopy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(fruits));

You can also create deep copies using the structuredClone() method, which has the advantage of allowing transferable objects in the source to be transferred to the new copy, rather than just cloned.

Finally, it's important to understand that assigning an existing array to a new variable doesn't create a copy of either the array or its elements. Instead the new variable is just a reference, or alias, to the original array; that is, the original array's name and the new variable name are just two names for the exact same object (and so will always evaluate as strictly equivalent). Therefore, if you make any changes at all either to the value of the original array or to the value of the new variable, the other will change, too:

const fruits = ['Strawberry', 'Mango'];
const fruitsAlias = fruits;
// 'fruits' and 'fruitsAlias' are the same object, strictly equivalent.
fruits === fruitsAlias // true
// Any changes to the 'fruits' array change 'fruitsAlias' too.
fruits.unshift('Apple', 'Banana');
console.log(fruits);
// ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Strawberry', 'Mango']
console.log(fruitsAlias);
// ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Strawberry', 'Mango']

Grouping the elements of an array

The Array.prototype.group() methods can be used to group the elements of an array, using a test function that returns a string indicating the group of the current element.

Here we have a simple inventory array that contains "food" objects that have a name and a type.

const inventory = [
  { name: 'asparagus', type: 'vegetables' },
  { name: 'bananas', type: 'fruit' },
  { name: 'goat', type: 'meat' },
  { name: 'cherries', type: 'fruit' },
  { name: 'fish', type: 'meat' },
];

To use group(), you supply a callback function that is called with the current element, and optionally the current index and array, and returns a string indicating the group of the element.

The code below uses a arrow function to return the type of each array element (this uses object destructuring syntax for function arguments to unpack the type element from the passed object). The result is an object that has properties named after the unique strings returned by the callback. Each property is assigned an array containing the elements in the group.

const result = inventory.group(({ type }) => type);
console.log(result.vegetables);
// expected output: Array [Object { name: "asparagus", type: "vegetables" }]

Note that the returned object references the same elements as the original array (not deep copies). Changing the internal structure of these elements will be reflected in both the original array and the returned object.

If you can't use a string as the key, for example, if the information to group is associated with an object that might change, then you can instead use Array.prototype.groupToMap(). This is very similar to group except that it groups the elements of the array into a Map that can use an arbitrary value (object or primitive) as a key.

Other examples

Creating a two-dimensional array

The following creates a chessboard as a two-dimensional array of strings. The first move is made by copying the 'p' in board[6][4] to board[4][4]. The old position at [6][4] is made blank.

const board = [
  ['R','N','B','Q','K','B','N','R'],
  ['P','P','P','P','P','P','P','P'],
  [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '],
  [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '],
  [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '],
  [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '],
  ['p','p','p','p','p','p','p','p'],
  ['r','n','b','q','k','b','n','r'] ];

console.log(`${board.join('\n')}\n\n`);

// Move King's Pawn forward 2
board[4][4] = board[6][4];
board[6][4] = ' ';
console.log(board.join('\n'));

Here is the output:

R,N,B,Q,K,B,N,R
P,P,P,P,P,P,P,P
 , , , , , , ,
 , , , , , , ,
 , , , , , , ,
 , , , , , , ,
p,p,p,p,p,p,p,p
r,n,b,q,k,b,n,r

R,N,B,Q,K,B,N,R
P,P,P,P,P,P,P,P
 , , , , , , ,
 , , , , , , ,
 , , , ,p, , ,
 , , , , , , ,
p,p,p,p, ,p,p,p
r,n,b,q,k,b,n,r

Using an array to tabulate a set of values

const values = [];
for (let x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
  values.push([
    2 ** x,
    2 * x ** 2,
  ]);
}
console.table(values);

Results in

// The first column is the index
0  1    0
1  2    2
2  4    8
3  8    18
4  16   32
5  32   50
6  64   72
7  128  98
8  256  128
9  512  162

Creating an array using the result of a match

The result of a match between a RegExp and a string can create a JavaScript array that has properties and elements which provide information about the match. Such an array is returned by RegExp.prototype.exec() and String.prototype.match().

For example:

// Match one d followed by one or more b's followed by one d
// Remember matched b's and the following d
// Ignore case

const myRe = /d(b+)(d)/i;
const execResult = myRe.exec('cdbBdbsbz');

console.log(execResult.input); // 'cdbBdbsbz'
console.log(execResult.index); // 1
console.log(execResult); // Array(3) [ "dbBd", "bB", "d" ]

For more information about the result of a match, see the RegExp.prototype.exec() and String.prototype.match() pages.

Notes

Array objects cannot use arbitrary strings as element indexes (as in an associative array) but must use nonnegative integers (or their respective string form). Setting or accessing via non-integers will not set or retrieve an element from the array list itself, but will set or access a variable associated with that array's object property collection. The array's object properties and list of array elements are separate, and the array's traversal and mutation operations cannot be applied to these named properties.

Array elements are object properties in the same way that toString is a property (to be specific, however, toString() is a method). Nevertheless, trying to access an element of an array as follows throws a syntax error because the property name is not valid:

console.log(arr.0); // a syntax error

JavaScript syntax requires properties beginning with a digit to be accessed using bracket notation instead of dot notation. It's also possible to quote the array indices (e.g., years['2'] instead of years[2]), although usually not necessary.

The 2 in years[2] is coerced into a string by the JavaScript engine through an implicit toString conversion. As a result, '2' and '02' would refer to two different slots on the years object, and the following example could be true:

console.log(years['2'] !== years['02']);

Only years['2'] is an actual array index. years['02'] is an arbitrary string property that will not be visited in array iteration.

Relationship between length and numerical properties

A JavaScript array's length property and numerical properties are connected.

Several of the built-in array methods (e.g., join(), slice(), indexOf(), etc.) take into account the value of an array's length property when they're called.

Other methods (e.g., push(), splice(), etc.) also result in updates to an array's length property.

const fruits = [];
fruits.push('banana', 'apple', 'peach');
console.log(fruits.length); // 3

When setting a property on a JavaScript array when the property is a valid array index and that index is outside the current bounds of the array, the engine will update the array's length property accordingly:

fruits[5] = 'mango';
console.log(fruits[5]);            // 'mango'
console.log(Object.keys(fruits));  // ['0', '1', '2', '5']
console.log(fruits.length);        // 6

Increasing the length.

fruits.length = 10;
console.log(fruits);              // ['banana', 'apple', 'peach', empty x 2, 'mango', empty x 4]
console.log(Object.keys(fruits)); // ['0', '1', '2', '5']
console.log(fruits.length);       // 10
console.log(fruits[8]);           // undefined

Decreasing the length property does, however, delete elements.

fruits.length = 2;
console.log(Object.keys(fruits)); // ['0', '1']
console.log(fruits.length);       // 2

This is explained further on the Array/length page.

Array methods and empty slots

Empty slots in sparse arrays behave inconsistently between array methods. Generally, the older methods will skip empty slots, while newer ones treat them as undefined.

Among methods that iterate through multiple elements, the following do an in check before accessing the index and do not conflate empty slots with undefined:

• concat()
• copyWithin()
• every()
• filter()
• flat()
• flatMap()
• forEach()
• indexOf()
• lastIndexOf()
• map()
• reduce()
• reduceRight()
• reverse()
• slice()
• some()
• sort()
• splice()

For exactly how they treat empty slots, see the page for each method.

These methods treat empty slots as if they are undefined:

• entries()
• fill()
• find()
• findIndex()
• findLast()
• findLastIndex()
• group()
• groupToMap()
• includes()
• join()
• keys()
• toLocaleString()
• values()

Copying methods and mutating methods

Some methods do not mutate the existing array that the method was called on, but instead return a new array. They do so by first accessing this.constructor[Symbol.species] to determine the constructor to use for the new array. The newly constructed array is then populated with elements. The copy always happens shallowly — the method never copies anything beyond the initially created array. Elements of the original array(s) are copied into the new array as follows:

• Objects: the object reference is copied into the new array. Both the original and new array refer to the same object. That is, if a referenced object is modified, the changes are visible to both the new and original arrays.
• Primitive types such as strings, numbers and booleans (not String, Number, and Boolean objects): their values are copied into the new array.

Other methods mutate the array that the method was called on, in which case their return value differs depending on the method: sometimes a reference to the same array, sometimes the length of the new array.

The following methods create new arrays with @@species:

• concat()
• filter()
• flat()
• flatMap()
• map()
• slice()
• splice() (to construct the array of removed elements that's returned)

Note that group() and groupToMap() do not use @@species to create new arrays for each group entry, but always use the plain Array constructor. Conceptually, they are not copying methods either.

The following methods mutate the original array:

• copyWithin()
• fill()
• pop()
• push()
• reverse()
• shift()
• sort()
• splice()
• unshift()

Generic array methods

Array methods are always generic — they don't access any internal data of the array object. They only access the array elements through the length property and the indexed elements. This means that they can be called on array-like objects as well.

Array.prototype.join.call({ 0: 'a', 1: 'b', length: 2 }, '+'); // 'a+b'
