  • Avoid 'new Array()'

    From Nightfox@DIGDIST to All on Thursday, September 17, 2015 20:02:22
    I just saw this JavaScript tip on w3schools.com: ---------------------------------------------------
    Avoid new Array()
    There is no need to use the JavaScript's built-in array constructor new Array().

    Use [] instead.

    These two different statements both create a new empty array named points:

    var points = new Array(); // Bad
    var points = []; // Good ---------------------------------------------------
    Does anyone know why using 'new Array()' is considered bad?
