How to Concatenate, Join and Sort Array in JavaScript?

In the previous post, I have already described about "How to Loop Through JavaScript Array". Along with accessing an element of an array using looping statements, you can also concatenate, join and sort an array in JavaScript. In this post you will learn about How to Concatenate, Join and Sort Array in JavaScript.

How to Join Two Arrays using Concat()

Using concat() method, you can join to arrays array1 and array2 as below.

<script>
var array1=new Array(3);
array1[0]="Saab"
array1[1]="Volvo"
array1[2]="BMW"

var array2=new Array(3);
array2[0]="Yamaha"
array2[1]="Honda"
array2[2]="Bajaj"

var array3=array1.concat(array2);

for(i=0; i<array3.length;i++)
{
document.write(array3[i]+"<br/>")
}
</script>

Preview:

Here the method array1.concat(array2) concentrates two arrays array1 and array2.

How to Put Array Elements Into a String using Join()

<script>

var array1=new Array(3);

array1[0]="Yamaha"

array1[1]="Honda"

array1[2]="Bajaj"

document.write(array1.join()+"<br/>");
