JavaScript Array Iteration Methods

❮ Previous
Next ❯

Array iteration methods operate on every array item.

Array.forEach()

The forEach() method Calls a function once for each array element.

Example

var txt = "";
var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25];

numbers.forEach(myFunction);

function myFunction(value, index, array)

txt = txt + value + "<br>";

Note that the function takes 3 arguments:

The item value

The item index

The array itself

Array.forEach() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier:

Method
forEach()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Array.map()

The map() method creates a new array by performing a function on each array element.

This example multiplies each array value by 2:

Example

var numbers1 = [4, 9, 16, 25];

var numbers2 = numbers1.map(myFunction);

function myFunction(value, index, array)

return value * 2;

Note that the function takes 3 arguments:

The item value

The item index

The array itself

The map() method calls the provided function once for each element in an
array.

Themap() method does not execute the function for array
elements without values.

The map() method does not change the original array.

Array.map() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.

Method
map()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Array.filter()

The filter() method creates a new array with array elements that passes a test.

This example creates a new array from elements with a value equal to or larger than 18:

Example

var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25];
var over18 =
numbers.filter(myFunction);

function myFunction(value, index, array)

return value > 18;

Note that the function takes 3 arguments:

The item value

The item index

The array itself

Array.filter() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.

Method
filter()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Array.reduce()

The reduce() method runs a function on each array element to produce (reduce it to) a single value.

The reduce() method works from left-to-right in the array. Se also
reduceRight().

The reduce() method does not reduce the original array.

This example finds the sum of all numbers in an array:

Example

var numbers1 = [4, 9, 16, 25];
var sum = numbers1.reduce(myFunction);

function myFunction(total, value, index, array)

return total + value;

Try it Yourself »

Note that the function takes 4 arguments:

The total (the initial value / previously returned value)

The item value

The item index

The array itself

Array.reduce() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.

Method
reduce()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Array.reduceRight()

The reduceRight() method runs a function on each array element to produce (reduce it to) a single value.

The reduceRight() works from right-to-left in the array. Se also reduce().

The reduceRight() method does not reduce the original array.

This example finds the sum of all numbers in an array:

Example

var numbers1 = [4, 9, 16, 25];
var sum = numbers1.reduceRight(myFunction);

function myFunction(total, value, index, array)

return total + value;

Try it Yourself »

Note that the function takes 4 arguments:

The total (the initial value / previously returned value)

The item value

The item index

The array itself

Array.reduce() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.

Method
reduceRight()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Array.every()

The every() method check if all array values pass a test.

This example check if all array values are larger than 18:

Example

var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25, 29];
var allOver18 =
numbers.every(myFunction);

function myFunction(value, index, array)
return
value > 18;

Try it Yourself »

Note that the function takes 3 arguments:

The item value

The item index

The array itself

Array.every() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.

Method
every()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Array.some()

The some() method check if some array values pass a test.

This example check if some array values are larger than 18:

Example

var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25, 29];
var allOver18 =
numbers.some(myFunction);

function myFunction(value, index, array)
return
value > 18;

Try it Yourself »

Note that the function takes 3 arguments:

The item value

The item index

The array itself

Array.some() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.

Method
every()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Array.indexOf()

Search an array for an element value and returns its position.

Note: The first item has position 0, the second item has position 1, and so on.

Example

Search an array for the item "Apple":

var fruits = ["Apple", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];

var a = fruits.indexOf("Apple");

Try it Yourself »

Array.indexOf() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.

Method
indexOf()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Syntax

array.indexOf(item, start)

item	Required. The item to search for.
start	Optional. Where to start the search. Negative values will start at the given position counting from the end, and search to the end.

Array.indexOf() returns -1 if the item is not found.

If the item is present more than once, it returns the position of the first occurence.

Array.lastIndexOf()

Array.lastIndexOf() is the same as Array.indexOf(), but searches from the end of the array.

Example

Search an array for the item "Apple":

var fruits = ["Apple", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];

var a = fruits.lastIndexOf("Apple");

Try it Yourself »

Array.lastIndexOf() is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 or earlier.

Method
lastIndexOf()	Yes	9.0	Yes	Yes	Yes

Syntax

array.lastIndexOf(item, start)

item	Required. The item to search for
start	Optional. Where to start the search. Negative values will start at the given position counting from the end, and search to the beginning

Array.find()

The find() method returns the value of the first array element that passes a
test function.

This example finds (returns the value of ) the first element that is larger
than 18:

Example

var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25, 29];
var first =
numbers.find(myFunction);

function myFunction(value, index, array)
return
value > 18;

Note that the function takes 3 arguments:

The item value

The item index

The array itself

Array.find() is not supported in older browsers. The first browser versions
with full support is listed below.

Method
find()	45	12	25	8	32

Array.findIndex()

The findIndex() method returns the index of the first array element that
passes a test function.

This example finds the index of the first element that is larger than 18:

Example

var numbers = [4, 9, 16, 25, 29];
var first =
numbers.findIndex(myFunction);

function myFunction(value, index, array)
return
value > 18;
