  • Array constructor - 10 items

    ​x
     
    var n = 10;
    var arr = new Array(n);
    ​
    for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {

    var arr = [];
    ​
    for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      arr.push(i);

  • Array literal (assign by index) - 10 items

     
    var n = 10;
    var arr = [];
    ​
    for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
