JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Shorten an array using its length property
A great way of shortening an array is by redefining its length property.
let array = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9] array.length = 4 // Result: [0, 1, 2, 3]
Important to know though is that this is a destructive way of changing the array. This means you lose all the other values that used to be in the array.
