hello i a m learning the javascript and I am wondering whether you can help me understand why there are two ways to make a new array?

From book I see the author is using:

var myArray = new Array("one","two",3);

Also seeing on the web 

var myArray = ["one","two",3];

Can someone please explain to me what is the difference?
