I have an array and I want to put it in another array using indexes.
For example:
arry[1].push(sub_array_1)
array[2].push (sub_array_2)
But I get an error if I write:
var sub_array_1 = [1, 2, 2, 2, 2];
arry[1].push(sub_array_1)
Assuming:
var arry = [9,8,7];
var sub_array_1 = [1,2,2,2,2];
If you are trying to insert sub_array_1 into arry, as a single element, just use splice directly:
arry.splice(1, 0, sub_array_1);
The result will be:
[9,[1,2,2,2,2],8,7]
On the other hand, if you are trying to insert the contents of sub_array_1 before the second element of arry, you can do something like this:
Array.prototype.splice.apply(arry, [1, 0].concat(sub_array_1));
The result will be:
[9,1,2,2,2,2,8,7]
Here is a more general function:
function insert(arrayDest, index, arraySrc) {
Array.prototype.splice.apply(arrayDest, [index, 0].concat(arraySrc));
}
[EDITED]
Starting with ES6, you can simplify the above code using the spread operator (...). For example:
function insert(arrayDest, index, arraySrc) {
arrayDest.splice(index, 0, ...arraySrc);
}
arry is an array why not just us arry.splice()?splice expects the inserted elements to be passed as individual values, not as an array.You're using wrong syntax! Follow the either below mentioned approach.
var sub_array_1 = [1,2,2,2,2];
arry[1] = sub_array_1;
// OR
var sub_array_1 = [1,2,2,2,2];
arry.push(sub_array_1);
.push(ele) will add an item to an array, thereby incrementing the length of array by 1. Remember array index starts at 0.
If you need to add an item(array/object/other) to a particular index, use [index]. Eg: arry[0] = [1,23]; arry[1] = [4,5,6,7];
arryandarray?Array#pushand array element access.pushwhich is easily answered by RTFM.
