JavaScript array methods are crucial for data manipulation, enabling developers to add, remove, transform, and iterate over array elements. These methods, including `.push()`, `.pop()`, `.shift()`, `.unshift()`, `.slice()`, `.splice()`, `.concat()`, `.join()`, and `.reverse()`, facilitate operations like calculating totals with `.reduce()` or filtering data with `.filter()`. Understanding these methods is key to proficient JavaScript programming and effective data management.

JavaScript array methods are functions used to manipulate arrays, which are structures designed to store multiple values in a single variable
JavaScript array methods are crucial for managing data within arrays, allowing developers to perform a variety of operations such as adding, removing, transforming, and iterating over elements
Examples of JavaScript array methods include .length, .push(), .pop(), .shift(), .unshift(), .slice(), .splice(), .concat(), .join(), .reverse(), .map(), .filter(), .reduce(), and .forEach()
Basic JavaScript array methods such as .push(), .pop(), .shift(), and .unshift() are used to add and remove elements from arrays
The .slice() and .splice() methods are used to manipulate array elements by creating new arrays or removing/adding elements at specific indexes
The .concat(), .join(), and .reverse() methods are used to combine arrays, create strings from array elements, and invert the order of elements, respectively
Higher-order functions such as .map(), .filter(), .reduce(), and .forEach() allow developers to pass functions as arguments and process arrays in a functional programming style
JavaScript array methods have practical uses in everyday coding, such as adding and removing elements, filtering data, and displaying data in a specific order
JavaScript array methods can greatly simplify complex programming tasks, such as replacing loops and extracting data from arrays of objects

JavaScript `.length` property function
Determines number of elements in an array; not a method but a property.
01
Example of using `.length` in JavaScript
`let fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Mango']; let numOfFruits = fruits.length;` returns `3`.

Difference between JavaScript properties and methods
Properties access data values, methods perform actions on data.
