Arrays in Cuneiform are very similar to arrays in JavaScript Object Notation. Array values must be of the following types:

• string
• number
• object
• array
• null

Arrays are declared within square brackets ([]). For example:

var cars = ["Tesla", "Volvo", "BMW"];
                                    

Array values can be accessed by using the index of the element in the array within square brackets ([]).

var cars = ["Tesla", "Volvo", "BMW"];
var firstCar = cars[0];
                                    

Arrays in Cuneiform start with the index 0.

Append

The append operation allows an additional value to be added into the array. Its syntax is as follows.

arrayName.append(value);

In th example below, we shall add another value to the cars array.

var cars = ["Tesla", "Volvo", "BMW"];
cars.append("Toyota");
                                    

The cars array now has the following values: "Tesla", "Volvo", "BMW", "Toyota".

Remove

The remove operation removes a value from an array. In order to do so, the index of the element that is to be removed must be provided. The syntax is as follows.

arrayName.remove(index);

In the example below, we shall remove Volvo from our array of cars. Since Volvo is the element in the 1^st index of the cars array, the remove operation is executed as follows.

var cars = ["Tesla", "Volvo", "BMW"];
cars.remove(1);
                                    

The cars array now has the following values: "Tesla", "BMW".
