23.1 Array Objects

Arrays are exotic objects that give special treatment to a certain class of property names. See 10.4.2 for a definition of this special treatment.

23.1.1 The Array Constructor

The Array constructor:

  • is %Array%.
  • is the initial value of the "Array" property of the global object.
  • creates and initializes a new Array when called as a constructor.
  • also creates and initializes a new Array when called as a function rather than as a constructor. Thus the function call Array(…) is equivalent to the object creation expression new Array(…) with the same arguments.
  • is a function whose behaviour differs based upon the number and types of its arguments.
  • may be used as the value of an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the exotic Array behaviour must include a super call to the Array constructor to initialize subclass instances that are Array exotic objects. However, most of the Array.prototype methods are generic methods that are not dependent upon their this value being an Array exotic object.

23.1.1.1 Array ( ...values )

This function performs the following steps when called:

  1. If NewTarget is undefined, let newTarget be the active function object; else let newTarget be NewTarget.
  2. Let proto be ? GetPrototypeFromConstructor(newTarget, "%Array.prototype%").
  3. Let numberOfArgs be the number of elements in values.
  4. If numberOfArgs = 0, then
    1. Return ! ArrayCreate(0, proto).
  5. Else if numberOfArgs = 1, then
    1. Let len be values[0].
    2. Let array be ! ArrayCreate(0, proto).
    3. If len is not a Number, then
      1. Perform ! CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(array, "0", len).
      2. Let intLen be 1𝔽.
    4. Else,
      1. Let intLen be ! ToUint32(len).
      2. If SameValueZero(intLen, len) is false, throw a RangeError exception.
    5. Perform ! Set(array, "length", intLen, true).
    6. Return array.
  6. Else,
    1. Assert: numberOfArgs ≥ 2.
    2. Let array be ? ArrayCreate(numberOfArgs, proto).
    3. Let k be 0.
    4. Repeat, while k < numberOfArgs,
      1. Let Pk be ! ToString(𝔽(k)).
      2. Let itemK be values[k].
      3. Perform ! CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(array, Pk, itemK).
      4. Set k to k + 1.
    5. Assert: The mathematical value of array's "length" property is numberOfArgs.
    6. Return array.

23.1.2 Properties of the Array Constructor

The Array constructor:

  • has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Function.prototype%.
  • has a "length" property whose value is 1𝔽.
  • has the following properties:

23.1.2.1 Array.from ( items [ , mapper [ , thisArg ] ] )

  9. If IsConstructor(C) is true, then
    1. Let A be ? Construct(C, « 𝔽(len) »).

    2. Let kValue be ? Get(arrayLike, Pk).
    3. If mapping is true, then
      1. Let mappedValue be ? Call(mapper, thisArg, « kValue, 𝔽(k) »).

    6. Set k to k + 1.
  13. Perform ? Set(A, "length", 𝔽(len), true).

This function performs the following steps when called:

  1. Return ? IsArray(arg).

 Note

This method is an intentionally generic factory method; it does not require that its this value be the Array constructor. Therefore it can be transferred to or inherited by other constructors that may be called with a single numeric argument.

23.1.2.4 Array.prototype

The value of Array.prototype is the Array prototype object.

This property has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: false }.

23.1.2.5 get Array [ %Symbol.species% ]

Array[%Symbol.species%] is an accessor property whose set accessor function is undefined. Its get accessor function performs the following steps when called:

  1. Return the this value.

The value of the "name" property of this function is "get [Symbol.species]".

Note

Array prototype methods normally use their this value's constructor to create a derived object. However, a subclass constructor may over-ride that default behaviour by redefining its %Symbol.species% property.

23.1.3 Properties of the Array Prototype Object

The Array prototype object:

  • is %Array.prototype%.
  • is an Array exotic object and has the internal methods specified for such objects.
  • has a "length" property whose initial value is +0𝔽 and whose attributes are { [[Writable]]: true, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: false }.
  • has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Object.prototype%.
Note

The Array prototype object is specified to be an Array exotic object to ensure compatibility with ECMAScript code that was created prior to the ECMAScript 2015 specification.

23.1.3.1 Array.prototype.at ( index )

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. Let relativeIndex be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(index).
  4. If relativeIndex ≥ 0, then
    1. Let k be relativeIndex.
  5. Else,
    1. Let k be len + relativeIndex.
  6. If k < 0 or k ≥ len, return undefined.
  7. Return ? Get(O, ! ToString(𝔽(k))).

23.1.3.2 Array.prototype.concat ( ...items )

This method returns an array containing the array elements of the object followed by the array elements of each argument.

It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let A be ? ArraySpeciesCreate(O, 0).
  3. Let n be 0.
  4. Prepend O to items.
  5. For each element E of items, do
    1. Let spreadable be ? IsConcatSpreadable(E).
    2. If spreadable is true, then
      1. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(E).
      2. If n + len > 253 - 1, throw a TypeError exception.
      3. Let k be 0.
      4. Repeat, while k < len,
        1. Let Pk be ! ToString(𝔽(k)).
        2. Let exists be ? HasProperty(E, Pk).
        3. If exists is true, then
          1. Let subElement be ? Get(E, Pk).
          2. Perform ? CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(A, ! ToString(𝔽(n)), subElement).
        4. Set n to n + 1.
        5. Set k to k + 1.
    3. Else,
      1. NOTE: E is added as a single item rather than spread.
      2. If n ≥ 253 - 1, throw a TypeError exception.
      3. Perform ? CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(A, ! ToString(𝔽(n)), E).
      4. Set n to n + 1.
  6. Perform ? Set(A, "length", 𝔽(n), true).
  7. Return A.

The "length" property of this method is 1𝔽.

Note 1

The explicit setting of the "length" property in step 6 is intended to ensure the length is correct when the final non-empty element of items has trailing holes or when A is not a built-in Array.

 Note 2

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.2.1 IsConcatSpreadable ( O )

The initial value of Array.prototype.constructor is %Array%.

23.1.3.4 Array.prototype.copyWithin ( target, start [ , end ] )

Note 1

The end argument is optional. If it is not provided, the length of the this value is used.

 Note 2

If target is negative, it is treated as length + target where length is the length of the array. If start is negative, it is treated as length + start. If end is negative, it is treated as length + end.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. Let relativeTarget be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(target).
  4. If relativeTarget = -∞, let to be 0.

  6. Else, let to be min(relativeTarget, len).
  7. Let relativeStart be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(start).
  8. If relativeStart = -∞, let from be 0.
  9. Else if relativeStart < 0, let from be max(len + relativeStart, 0).
  10. Else, let from be min(relativeStart, len).
  11. If end is undefined, let relativeEnd be len; else let relativeEnd be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(end).
  12. If relativeEnd = -∞, let final be 0.
  13. Else if relativeEnd < 0, let final be max(len + relativeEnd, 0).
  14. Else, let final be min(relativeEnd, len).
  15. Let count be min(final - from, len - to).
  16. If from < to and to < from + count, then
    1. Let direction be -1.
    2. Set from to from + count - 1.
    3. Set to to to + count - 1.
  17. Else,
    1. Let direction be 1.
  18. Repeat, while count > 0,
    1. Let fromKey be ! ToString(𝔽(from)).
    2. Let toKey be ! ToString(𝔽(to)).
    3. Let fromPresent be ? HasProperty(O, fromKey).

      1. Let fromValue be ? Get(O, fromKey).
      2. Perform ? Set(O, toKey, fromValue, true).
    5. Else,
      1. Assert: fromPresent is false.
      2. Perform ? DeletePropertyOrThrow(O, toKey).
    6. Set from to from + direction.
    7. Set to to to + direction.
    8. Set count to count - 1.
  19. Return O.
 Note 3

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.5 Array.prototype.entries ( )

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Return CreateArrayIterator(O, key+value).

23.1.3.6 Array.prototype.every ( callback [ , thisArg ] )

Note 1

callback should be a function that accepts three arguments and returns a value that is coercible to a Boolean value. every calls callback once for each element present in the array, in ascending order, until it finds one where callback returns false. If such an element is found, every immediately returns false. Otherwise, every returns true. callback is called only for elements of the array which actually exist; it is not called for missing elements of the array.

If a thisArg parameter is provided, it will be used as the this value for each invocation of callback. If it is not provided, undefined is used instead.

callback is called with three arguments: the value of the element, the index of the element, and the object being traversed.

every does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback.

The range of elements processed by every is set before the first call to callback. Elements which are appended to the array after the call to every begins will not be visited by callback. If existing elements of the array are changed, their value as passed to callback will be the value at the time every visits them; elements that are deleted after the call to every begins and before being visited are not visited. every acts like the "for all" quantifier in mathematics. In particular, for an empty array, it returns true.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. If IsCallable(callback) is false, throw a TypeError exception.
  4. Let k be 0.
  5. Repeat, while k < len,

    2. Let kPresent be ? HasProperty(O, Pk).
    3. If kPresent is true, then
      1. Let kValue be ? Get(O, Pk).
      2. Let testResult be ToBoolean(? Call(callback, thisArg, « kValue, 𝔽(k), O »)).
      3. If testResult is false, return false.
    4. Set k to k + 1.
  6. Return true.
 Note 2

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.7 Array.prototype.fill ( value [ , start [ , end ] ] )

Note 1

The start argument is optional. If it is not provided, +0𝔽 is used.

The end argument is optional. If it is not provided, the length of the this value is used.

 Note 2

If start is negative, it is treated as length + start where length is the length of the array. If end is negative, it is treated as length + end.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. Let relativeStart be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(start).
  4. If relativeStart = -∞, let k be 0.
  5. Else if relativeStart < 0, let k be max(len + relativeStart, 0).
  6. Else, let k be min(relativeStart, len).
  7. If end is undefined, let relativeEnd be len; else let relativeEnd be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(end).
  8. If relativeEnd = -∞, let final be 0.
  9. Else if relativeEnd < 0, let final be max(len + relativeEnd, 0).
  10. Else, let final be min(relativeEnd, len).
  11. Repeat, while k < final,
    1. Let Pk be ! ToString(𝔽(k)).
    2. Perform ? Set(O, Pk, value, true).
    3. Set k to k + 1.
  12. Return O.
 Note 3

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.8 Array.prototype.filter ( callback [ , thisArg ] )

Note 1

callback should be a function that accepts three arguments and returns a value that is coercible to a Boolean value. filter calls callback once for each element in the array, in ascending order, and constructs a new array of all the values for which callback returns true. callback is called only for elements of the array which actually exist; it is not called for missing elements of the array.

If a thisArg parameter is provided, it will be used as the this value for each invocation of callback. If it is not provided, undefined is used instead.

callback is called with three arguments: the value of the element, the index of the element, and the object being traversed.

filter does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback.

The range of elements processed by filter is set before the first call to callback. Elements which are appended to the array after the call to filter begins will not be visited by callback. If existing elements of the array are changed their value as passed to callback will be the value at the time filter visits them; elements that are deleted after the call to filter begins and before being visited are not visited.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. If IsCallable(callback) is false, throw a TypeError exception.
  4. Let A be ? ArraySpeciesCreate(O, 0).

  6. Let to be 0.
  7. Repeat, while k < len,
    1. Let Pk be ! ToString(𝔽(k)).
    2. Let kPresent be ? HasProperty(O, Pk).
    3. If kPresent is true, then
      1. Let kValue be ? Get(O, Pk).
      2. Let selected be ToBoolean(? Call(callback, thisArg, « kValue, 𝔽(k), O »)).
      3. If selected is true, then
        1. Perform ? CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(A, ! ToString(𝔽(to)), kValue).
        2. Set to to to + 1.
    4. Set k to k + 1.
  8. Return A.

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.9 Array.prototype.find ( predicate [ , thisArg ] )

Note 1

This method calls predicate once for each element of the array, in ascending index order, until it finds one where predicate returns a value that coerces to true. If such an element is found, find immediately returns that element value. Otherwise, find returns undefined.

See FindViaPredicate for additional information.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).

  3. Let findRec be ? FindViaPredicate(O, len, ascending, predicate, thisArg).
  4. Return findRec.[[Index]].
 Note 2

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.11 Array.prototype.findLast ( predicate [ , thisArg ] )

Note 1

This method calls predicate once for each element of the array, in descending index order, until it finds one where predicate returns a value that coerces to true. If such an element is found, findLast immediately returns that element value. Otherwise, findLast returns undefined.

See FindViaPredicate for additional information.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. Let findRec be ? FindViaPredicate(O, len, descending, predicate, thisArg).

  4. Return findRec.[[Index]].
 Note 2

23.1.3.12.1 FindViaPredicate ( O, len, direction, predicate, thisArg )

The abstract operation FindViaPredicate takes arguments O (an Object), len (a non-negative integer), direction (ascending or descending), predicate (an ECMAScript language value), and thisArg (an ECMAScript language value) and returns either a normal completion containing a Record with fields [[Index]] (an integral Number) and [[Value]] (an ECMAScript language value) or a throw completion.

O should be an array-like object or a TypedArray. This operation calls predicate once for each element of O, in either ascending index order or descending index order (as indicated by direction), until it finds one where predicate returns a value that coerces to true. At that point, this operation returns a Record that gives the index and value of the element found. If no such element is found, this operation returns a Record that specifies -1𝔽 for the index and undefined for the value.

predicate should be a function. When called for an element of the array, it is passed three arguments: the value of the element, the index of the element, and the object being traversed. Its return value will be coerced to a Boolean value.

thisArg will be used as the this value for each invocation of predicate.

This operation does not directly mutate the object on which it is called, but the object may be mutated by the calls to predicate.

The range of elements processed is set before the first call to predicate, just before the traversal begins. Elements that are appended to the array after this will not be visited by predicate. If existing elements of the array are changed, their value as passed to predicate will be the value at the time that this operation visits them. Elements that are deleted after traversal begins and before being visited are still visited and are either looked up from the prototype or are undefined.

It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If IsCallable(predicate) is false, throw a TypeError exception.
  2. If direction is ascending, then
    1. Let indices be a List of the integers in the interval from 0 (inclusive) to len (exclusive), in ascending order.
  3. Else,
    1. Let indices be a List of the integers in the interval from 0 (inclusive) to len (exclusive), in descending order.
  4. For each integer k of indices, do
    1. Let Pk be ! ToString(𝔽(k)).
    2. NOTE: If O is a TypedArray, the following invocation of Get will return a normal completion.
    3. Let kValue be ? Get(O, Pk).
    4. Let testResult be ? Call(predicate, thisArg, « kValue, 𝔽(k), O »).
    5. If ToBoolean(testResult) is true, return the Record { [[Index]]: 𝔽(k), [[Value]]: kValue }.
  5. Return the Record { [[Index]]: -1𝔽, [[Value]]: undefined }.

23.1.3.13 Array.prototype.flat ( [ depth ] )

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).

  3. Let depthNum be 1.
  4. If depth is not undefined, then
    1. Set depthNum to ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(depth).
    2. If depthNum < 0, set depthNum to 0.
  5. Let A be ? ArraySpeciesCreate(O, 0).
  6. Perform ? FlattenIntoArray(A, O, sourceLen, 0, depthNum).
  7. Return A.

23.1.3.13.1 FlattenIntoArray ( target, source, sourceLen, start, depth [ , mapperFunction [ , thisArg ] ] )

The abstract operation FlattenIntoArray takes arguments target (an Object), source (an Object), sourceLen (a non-negative integer), start (a non-negative integer), and depth (a non-negative integer or +∞) and optional arguments mapperFunction (a function object) and thisArg (an ECMAScript language value) and returns either a normal completion containing a non-negative integer or a throw completion. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Assert: If mapperFunction is present, then IsCallable(mapperFunction) is true, thisArg is present, and depth is 1.
  2. Let targetIndex be start.
  3. Let sourceIndex be +0𝔽.
  4. Repeat, while ℝ(sourceIndex) < sourceLen,

  6. Return A.

23.1.3.15 Array.prototype.forEach ( callback [ , thisArg ] )

Note 1

callback should be a function that accepts three arguments. forEach calls callback once for each element present in the array, in ascending order. callback is called only for elements of the array which actually exist; it is not called for missing elements of the array.

If a thisArg parameter is provided, it will be used as the this value for each invocation of callback. If it is not provided, undefined is used instead.

callback is called with three arguments: the value of the element, the index of the element, and the object being traversed.

forEach does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback.

The range of elements processed by forEach is set before the first call to callback. Elements which are appended to the array after the call to forEach begins will not be visited by callback. If existing elements of the array are changed, their value as passed to callback will be the value at the time forEach visits them; elements that are deleted after the call to forEach begins and before being visited are not visited.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. If IsCallable(callback) is false, throw a TypeError exception.
  4. Let k be 0.
  5. Repeat, while k < len,
    1. Let Pk be ! ToString(𝔽(k)).
    2. Let kPresent be ? HasProperty(O, Pk).
    3. If kPresent is true, then
      1. Let kValue be ? Get(O, Pk).
      2. Perform ? Call(callback, thisArg, « kValue, 𝔽(k), O »).
    4. Set k to k + 1.
  6. Return undefined.
 Note 2

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.16 Array.prototype.includes ( searchElement [ , fromIndex ] )

Note 1

This method compares searchElement to the elements of the array, in ascending order, using the SameValueZero algorithm, and if found at any position, returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

The optional second argument fromIndex defaults to +0𝔽 (i.e. the whole array is searched). If it is greater than or equal to the length of the array, false is returned, i.e. the array will not be searched. If it is less than -0𝔽, it is used as the offset from the end of the array to compute fromIndex. If the computed index is less than or equal to +0𝔽, the whole array will be searched.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. If len = 0, return false.
  4. Let n be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(fromIndex).
  5. Assert: If fromIndex is undefined, then n is 0.
  6. If n = +∞, return false.
  7. Else if n = -∞, set n to 0.
  8. If n ≥ 0, then
    1. Let k be n.
  9. Else,

    2. If k < 0, set k to 0.
  10. Repeat, while k < len,
    1. Let elementK be ? Get(O, ! ToString(𝔽(k))).
    2. If SameValueZero(searchElement, elementK) is true, return true.
    3. Set k to k + 1.
  11. Return false.
 Note 2

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

 Note 3

This method intentionally differs from the similar indexOf method in two ways. First, it uses the SameValueZero algorithm, instead of IsStrictlyEqual, allowing it to detect NaN array elements. Second, it does not skip missing array elements, instead treating them as undefined.

23.1.3.17 Array.prototype.indexOf ( searchElement [ , fromIndex ] )

This method compares searchElement to the elements of the array, in ascending order, using the IsStrictlyEqual algorithm, and if found at one or more indices, returns the smallest such index; otherwise, it returns -1𝔽.

Note 1

The optional second argument fromIndex defaults to +0𝔽 (i.e. the whole array is searched). If it is greater than or equal to the length of the array, -1𝔽 is returned, i.e. the array will not be searched. If it is less than -0𝔽, it is used as the offset from the end of the array to compute fromIndex. If the computed index is less than or equal to +0𝔽, the whole array will be searched.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. If len = 0, return -1𝔽.
  4. Let n be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(fromIndex).
  5. Assert: If fromIndex is undefined, then n is 0.
  6. If n = +∞, return -1𝔽.
  7. Else if n = -∞, set n to 0.
  8. If n ≥ 0, then
    1. Let k be n.
  9. Else,
    1. Let k be len + n.
    2. If k < 0, set k to 0.
  10. Repeat, while k < len,
    1. Let Pk be ! ToString(𝔽(k)).
    2. Let kPresent be ? HasProperty(O, Pk).
    3. If kPresent is true, then
      1. Let elementK be ? Get(O, Pk).
      2. If IsStrictlyEqual(searchElement, elementK) is true, return 𝔽(k).
    4. Set k to k + 1.
  11. Return -1𝔽.

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.18 Array.prototype.join ( separator )

This method converts the elements of the array to Strings, and then concatenates these Strings, separated by occurrences of the separator. If no separator is provided, a single comma is used as the separator.

It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. If separator is undefined, let sep be ",".
  4. Else, let sep be ? ToString(separator).
  5. Let R be the empty String.
  6. Let k be 0.
  7. Repeat, while k < len,
    1. If k > 0, set R to the string-concatenation of R and sep.
    2. Let element be ? Get(O, ! ToString(𝔽(k))).
    3. If element is neither undefined nor null, then
      1. Let S be ? ToString(element).
      2. Set R to the string-concatenation of R and S.
    4. Set k to k + 1.
  8. Return R.

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore, it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.19 Array.prototype.keys ( )

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Return CreateArrayIterator(O, key).

23.1.3.20 Array.prototype.lastIndexOf ( searchElement [ , fromIndex ] )

Note 1

This method compares searchElement to the elements of the array in descending order using the IsStrictlyEqual algorithm, and if found at one or more indices, returns the largest such index; otherwise, it returns -1𝔽.

The optional second argument fromIndex defaults to the array's length minus one (i.e. the whole array is searched). If it is greater than or equal to the length of the array, the whole array will be searched. If it is less than -0𝔽, it is used as the offset from the end of the array to compute fromIndex. If the computed index is less than or equal to +0𝔽, -1𝔽 is returned.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).

      2. If IsStrictlyEqual(searchElement, elementK) is true, return 𝔽(k).
    4. Set k to k - 1.
  9. Return -1𝔽.

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.21 Array.prototype.map ( callback [ , thisArg ] )

Note 1

callback should be a function that accepts three arguments. map calls callback once for each element in the array, in ascending order, and constructs a new Array from the results. callback is called only for elements of the array which actually exist; it is not called for missing elements of the array.

If a thisArg parameter is provided, it will be used as the this value for each invocation of callback. If it is not provided, undefined is used instead.

callback is called with three arguments: the value of the element, the index of the element, and the object being traversed.

map does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback.

The range of elements processed by map is set before the first call to callback. Elements which are appended to the array after the call to map begins will not be visited by callback. If existing elements of the array are changed, their value as passed to callback will be the value at the time map visits them; elements that are deleted after the call to map begins and before being visited are not visited.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).

23.1.3.24 Array.prototype.reduce ( callback [ , initialValue ] )

Note 1

callback should be a function that takes four arguments. reduce calls the callback, as a function, once for each element after the first element present in the array, in ascending order.

callback is called with four arguments: the previousValue (value from the previous call to callback), the currentValue (value of the current element), the currentIndex, and the object being traversed. The first time that callback is called, the previousValue and currentValue can be one of two values. If an initialValue was supplied in the call to reduce, then previousValue will be initialValue and currentValue will be the first value in the array. If no initialValue was supplied, then previousValue will be the first value in the array and currentValue will be the second. It is a TypeError if the array contains no elements and initialValue is not provided.

reduce does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback.

The range of elements processed by reduce is set before the first call to callback. Elements that are appended to the array after the call to reduce begins will not be visited by callback. If existing elements of the array are changed, their value as passed to callback will be the value at the time reduce visits them; elements that are deleted after the call to reduce begins and before being visited are not visited.

23.1.3.25 Array.prototype.reduceRight ( callback [ , initialValue ] )

Note 1

callback should be a function that takes four arguments. reduceRight calls the callback, as a function, once for each element after the first element present in the array, in descending order.

callback is called with four arguments: the previousValue (value from the previous call to callback), the currentValue (value of the current element), the currentIndex, and the object being traversed. The first time the function is called, the previousValue and currentValue can be one of two values. If an initialValue was supplied in the call to reduceRight, then previousValue will be initialValue and currentValue will be the last value in the array. If no initialValue was supplied, then previousValue will be the last value in the array and currentValue will be the second-to-last value. It is a TypeError if the array contains no elements and initialValue is not provided.

reduceRight does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback.

The range of elements processed by reduceRight is set before the first call to callback. Elements that are appended to the array after the call to reduceRight begins will not be visited by callback. If existing elements of the array are changed by callback, their value as passed to callback will be the value at the time reduceRight visits them; elements that are deleted after the call to reduceRight begins and before being visited are not visited.

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.28 Array.prototype.slice ( start, end )

This method returns an array containing the elements of the array from element start up to, but not including, element end (or through the end of the array if end is undefined). If start is negative, it is treated as length + start where length is the length of the array. If end is negative, it is treated as length + end where length is the length of the array.

It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. Let relativeStart be ? ToIntegerOrInfinity(start).
  4. If relativeStart = -∞, let k be 0.

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.29 Array.prototype.some ( callback [ , thisArg ] )

Note 1

callback should be a function that accepts three arguments and returns a value that is coercible to a Boolean value. some calls callback once for each element present in the array, in ascending order, until it finds one where callback returns true. If such an element is found, some immediately returns true. Otherwise, some returns false. callback is called only for elements of the array which actually exist; it is not called for missing elements of the array.

If a thisArg parameter is provided, it will be used as the this value for each invocation of callback. If it is not provided, undefined is used instead.

callback is called with three arguments: the value of the element, the index of the element, and the object being traversed.

some does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to callback.

The range of elements processed by some is set before the first call to callback. Elements that are appended to the array after the call to some begins will not be visited by callback. If existing elements of the array are changed, their value as passed to callback will be the value at the time that some visits them; elements that are deleted after the call to some begins and before being visited are not visited. some acts like the "exists" quantifier in mathematics. In particular, for an empty array, it returns false.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let O be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(O).
  3. If IsCallable(callback) is false, throw a TypeError exception.

 Note 2

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.30 Array.prototype.sort ( comparator )

This method sorts the elements of this array. If comparator is not undefined, it should be a function that accepts two arguments x and y and returns a negative Number if x < y, a positive Number if x > y, or a zero otherwise.

It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If comparator is not undefined and IsCallable(comparator) is false, throw a TypeError exception.
  2. Let obj be ? ToObject(this value).
  3. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(obj).
  4. Let SortCompare be a new Abstract Closure with parameters (x, y) that captures comparator and performs the following steps when called:
    1. Return ? CompareArrayElements(x, y, comparator).
  5. Let sortedList be ? SortIndexedProperties(obj, len, SortCompare, skip-holes).
  6. Let itemCount be the number of elements in sortedList.
  7. Let j be 0.
  8. Repeat, while j < itemCount,
    1. Perform ? Set(obj, ! ToString(𝔽(j)), sortedList[j], true).
    2. Set j to j + 1.
  9. NOTE: The call to SortIndexedProperties in step 5 uses skip-holes. The remaining indices are deleted to preserve the number of holes that were detected and excluded from the sort.
  10. Repeat, while j < len,
    1. Perform ? DeletePropertyOrThrow(obj, ! ToString(𝔽(j))).
    2. Set j to j + 1.
  11. Return obj.
 Note 1

Because non-existent property values always compare greater than undefined property values, and undefined always compares greater than any other value (see CompareArrayElements), undefined property values always sort to the end of the result, followed by non-existent property values.

 Note 2

Method calls performed by the ToString abstract operations in steps 5 and 6 have the potential to cause SortCompare to not behave as a consistent comparator.

 Note 3

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore, it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.30.1 SortIndexedProperties ( obj, len, SortCompare, holes )

The abstract operation SortIndexedProperties takes arguments obj (an Object), len (a non-negative integer), SortCompare (an Abstract Closure with two parameters), and holes (skip-holes or read-through-holes) and returns either a normal completion containing a List of ECMAScript language values or a throw completion. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let items be a new empty List.
  2. Let k be 0.
  3. Repeat, while k < len,
    1. Let Pk be ! ToString(𝔽(k)).
    2. If holes is skip-holes, then
      1. Let kRead be ? HasProperty(obj, Pk).
    3. Else,
      1. Assert: holes is read-through-holes.
      2. Let kRead be true.
    4. If kRead is true, then
      1. Let kValue be ? Get(obj, Pk).
      2. Append kValue to items.
    5. Set k to k + 1.
  4. Sort items using an implementation-defined sequence of calls to SortCompare. If any such call returns an abrupt completion, stop before performing any further calls to SortCompare and return that Completion Record.
  5. Return items.

The sort order is the ordering of items after completion of step 4 of the algorithm above. The sort order is implementation-defined if SortCompare is not a consistent comparator for the elements of items. When SortIndexedProperties is invoked by Array.prototype.sort or Array.prototype.toSorted, the sort order is also implementation-defined if comparator is undefined, and all applications of ToString, to any specific value passed as an argument to SortCompare, do not produce the same result.

Unless the sort order is specified to be implementation-defined, it must satisfy all of the following conditions:

  • There must be some mathematical permutation π of the non-negative integers less than itemCount, such that for every non-negative integer j less than itemCount, the element old[j] is exactly the same as new[π(j)].
  • Then for all non-negative integers j and k, each less than itemCount, if ℝ(SortCompare(old[j], old[k])) < 0, then π(j) < π(k).
  • And for all non-negative integers j and k such that j < k < itemCount, if ℝ(SortCompare(old[j], old[k])) = 0, then π(j) < π(k); i.e., the sort is stable.

Here the notation old[j] is used to refer to items[j] before step 4 is executed, and the notation new[j] to refer to items[j] after step 4 has been executed.

An abstract closure or function comparator is a consistent comparator for a set of values S if all of the requirements below are met for all values a, b, and c (possibly the same value) in the set S: The notation a <C b means ℝ(comparator(a, b)) < 0; a =C b means ℝ(comparator(a, b)) = 0; and a >C b means ℝ(comparator(a, b)) > 0.

  • Calling comparator(a, b) always returns the same value v when given a specific pair of values a and b as its two arguments. Furthermore, v is a Number, and v is not NaN. Note that this implies that exactly one of a <C b, a =C b, and a >C b will be true for a given pair of a and b.
  • Calling comparator(a, b) does not modify obj or any object on obj's prototype chain.
  • a =C a (reflexivity)
  • If a =C b, then b =C a (symmetry)
  • If a =C b and b =C c, then a =C c (transitivity of =C)
  • If a <C b and b <C c, then a <C c (transitivity of <C)
  • If a >C b and b >C c, then a >C c (transitivity of >C)
Note

The above conditions are necessary and sufficient to ensure that comparator divides the set S into equivalence classes and that these equivalence classes are totally ordered.

23.1.3.30.2 CompareArrayElements ( x, y, comparator )

The abstract operation CompareArrayElements takes arguments x (an ECMAScript language value), y (an ECMAScript language value), and comparator (a function object or undefined) and returns either a normal completion containing a Number or an abrupt completion. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. If x and y are both undefined, return +0𝔽.
  2. If x is undefined, return 1𝔽.
  3. If y is undefined, return -1𝔽.
  4. If comparator is not undefined, then
    1. Let v be ? ToNumber(? Call(comparator, undefined, « x, y »)).
    2. If v is NaN, return +0𝔽.
    3. Return v.
  5. Let xString be ? ToString(x).
  6. Let yString be ? ToString(y).
  7. Let xSmaller be ! IsLessThan(xString, yString, true).
  8. If xSmaller is true, return -1𝔽.
  9. Let ySmaller be ! IsLessThan(yString, xString, true).
  10. If ySmaller is true, return 1𝔽.
  11. Return +0𝔽.

23.1.3.31 Array.prototype.splice ( start, deleteCount, ...items )

Note 1

  13. Let k be 0.
  14. Repeat, while k < actualDeleteCount,

    4. Repeat, while k > (len - actualDeleteCount + itemCount),
      1. Perform ? DeletePropertyOrThrow(O, ! ToString(𝔽(k - 1))).
      2. Set k to k - 1.
  17. Else if itemCount > actualDeleteCount, then
    1. Set k to (len - actualDeleteCount).
    2. Repeat, while k > actualStart,
      1. Let from be ! ToString(𝔽(k + actualDeleteCount - 1)).
      2. Let to be ! ToString(𝔽(k + itemCount - 1)).
      3. If ? HasProperty(O, from) is true, then
        1. Let fromValue be ? Get(O, from).
        2. Perform ? Set(O, to, fromValue, true).

  21. Return A.
 Note 2

The explicit setting of the "length" property in steps 15 and 20 is intended to ensure the lengths are correct even when the objects are not built-in Arrays.

 Note 3

This method is intentionally generic; it does not require that its this value be an Array. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.

23.1.3.32 Array.prototype.toLocaleString ( [ reserved1 [ , reserved2 ] ] )

An ECMAScript implementation that includes the ECMA-402 Internationalization API must implement this method as specified in the ECMA-402 specification. If an ECMAScript implementation does not include the ECMA-402 API the following specification of this method is used.

Note 1

The first edition of ECMA-402 did not include a replacement specification for this method.

The meanings of the optional parameters to this method are defined in the ECMA-402 specification; implementations that do not include ECMA-402 support must not use those parameter positions for anything else.

This method performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let array be ? ToObject(this value).
  2. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(array).
  3. Let separator be the implementation-defined list-separator String value appropriate for the host environment's current locale (such as ", ").
  4. Let R be the empty String.
  5. Let k be 0.
  6. Repeat, while k < len,
    1. If k > 0, set R to the string-concatenation of R and separator.
    2. Let element be ? Get(array, ! ToString(𝔽(k))).
    3. If element is neither undefined nor null, then
      1. Let S be ? ToString(? Invoke(element, "toLocaleString")).
      2. Set R to the string-concatenation of R and S.
    4. Set k to k + 1.
  7. Return R.
 Note 2

This method converts the elements of the array to Strings using their toLocaleString methods, and then concatenates these Strings, separated by occurrences of an implementation-defined locale-sensitive separator String. This method is analogous to toString except that it is intended to yield a locale-sensitive result corresponding with conventions of the host environment's current locale.

23.1.3.40 Array.prototype [ %Symbol.iterator% ] ( )

The initial value of the %Symbol.iterator% property is %Array.prototype.values%, defined in 23.1.3.38.

23.1.3.41 Array.prototype [ %Symbol.unscopables% ]

The initial value of the %Symbol.unscopables% data property is an object created by the following steps:

  17. Perform ! CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(unscopableList, "values", true).
  18. Return unscopableList.

This property has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }.

Note

The own property names of this object are property names that were not included as standard properties of Array.prototype prior to the ECMAScript 2015 specification. These names are ignored for with statement binding purposes in order to preserve the behaviour of existing code that might use one of these names as a binding in an outer scope that is shadowed by a with statement whose binding object is an Array.

The reason that "with" is not included in the unscopableList is because it is already a reserved word.

23.1.4 Properties of Array Instances

Array instances are Array exotic objects and have the internal methods specified for such objects. Array instances inherit properties from the Array prototype object.

Array instances have a "length" property, and a set of enumerable properties with array index names.

23.1.4.1 length

The "length" property of an Array instance is a data property whose value is always numerically greater than the name of every configurable own property whose name is an array index.

The "length" property initially has the attributes { [[Writable]]: true, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: false }.

Note

Reducing the value of the "length" property has the side-effect of deleting own array elements whose array index is between the old and new length values. However, non-configurable properties can not be deleted. Attempting to set the "length" property of an Array to a value that is numerically less than or equal to the largest numeric own property name of an existing non-configurable array-indexed property of the array will result in the length being set to a numeric value that is one greater than that non-configurable numeric own property name. See 10.4.2.1.

23.1.5 Array Iterator Objects

An Array Iterator is an object, that represents a specific iteration over some specific Array instance object. There is not a named constructor for Array Iterator objects. Instead, Array iterator objects are created by calling certain methods of Array instance objects.

23.1.5.1 CreateArrayIterator ( array, kind )

The abstract operation CreateArrayIterator takes arguments array (an Object) and kind (key+value, key, or value) and returns a Generator. It is used to create iterator objects for Array methods that return such iterators. It performs the following steps when called:

  1. Let closure be a new Abstract Closure with no parameters that captures kind and array and performs the following steps when called:
    1. Let index be 0.
    2. Repeat,
      1. If array has a [[TypedArrayName]] internal slot, then
        1. Let taRecord be MakeTypedArrayWithBufferWitnessRecord(array, seq-cst).
        2. If IsTypedArrayOutOfBounds(taRecord) is true, throw a TypeError exception.
        3. Let len be TypedArrayLength(taRecord).
      2. Else,
        1. Let len be ? LengthOfArrayLike(array).
      3. If index ≥ len, return NormalCompletion(undefined).
      4. Let indexNumber be 𝔽(index).
      5. If kind is key, then
        1. Let result be indexNumber.
      6. Else,
        1. Let elementKey be ! ToString(indexNumber).
        2. Let elementValue be ? Get(array, elementKey).
        3. If kind is value, then
          1. Let result be elementValue.
        4. Else,
          1. Assert: kind is key+value.
          2. Let result be CreateArrayFromList(« indexNumber, elementValue »).
      7. Perform ? GeneratorYield(CreateIteratorResultObject(result, false)).
      8. Set index to index + 1.
  2. Return CreateIteratorFromClosure(closure, "%ArrayIteratorPrototype%", %ArrayIteratorPrototype%).

23.1.5.2 The %ArrayIteratorPrototype% Object

The %ArrayIteratorPrototype% object:

23.1.5.2.1 %ArrayIteratorPrototype%.next ( )

  1. Return ? GeneratorResume(this value, empty, "%ArrayIteratorPrototype%").

23.1.5.2.2 %ArrayIteratorPrototype% [ %Symbol.toStringTag% ]

The initial value of the %Symbol.toStringTag% property is the String value "Array Iterator".

This property has the attributes { [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }.

23.2 TypedArray Objects

A TypedArray presents an array-like view of an underlying binary data buffer (25.1). A TypedArray element type is the underlying binary scalar data type that all elements of a TypedArray instance have. There is a distinct TypedArray constructor, listed in Table 69, for each of the supported element types. Each constructor in Table 69 has a corresponding distinct prototype object.

Table 69: The TypedArray Constructors
Constructor Name and Intrinsic Element Type Element Size Conversion Operation Description

In the definitions below, references to TypedArray should be replaced with the appropriate constructor name from the above table.

23.2.1 The %TypedArray% Intrinsic Object

The %TypedArray% intrinsic object:

  • is a constructor function object that all of the TypedArray constructor objects inherit from.

23.2.3.31 %TypedArray%.prototype.toLocaleString ( [ reserved1 [ , reserved2 ] ] )

This is a distinct method that implements the same algorithm as Array.prototype.toLocaleString as defined in 23.1.3.32 except that TypedArrayLength is called in place of performing a [[Get]] of "length". The implementation of the algorithm may be optimized with the knowledge that the this value has a fixed length when the underlying buffer is not resizable and whose integer-indexed properties are not sparse. However, such optimization must not introduce any observable changes in the specified behaviour of the algorithm.

This method is not generic. ValidateTypedArray is called with the this value and seq-cst as arguments prior to evaluating the algorithm. If its result is an abrupt completion that exception is thrown instead of evaluating the algorithm.

Note

If the ECMAScript implementation includes the ECMA-402 Internationalization API this method is based upon the algorithm for Array.prototype.toLocaleString that is in the ECMA-402 specification.

23.2.5 The TypedArray Constructors

Each TypedArray constructor:

  • is an intrinsic object that has the structure described below, differing only in the name used as the constructor name instead of TypedArray, in Table 69.
  • is a function whose behaviour differs based upon the number and types of its arguments. The actual behaviour of a call of TypedArray depends upon the number and kind of arguments that are passed to it.
  • is not intended to be called as a function and will throw an exception when called in that manner.
  • may be used as the value of an extends clause of a class definition. Subclass constructors that intend to inherit the specified TypedArray behaviour must include a super call to the TypedArray constructor to create and initialize the subclass instance with the internal state necessary to support the %TypedArray%.prototype built-in methods.

23.2.5.1 TypedArray ( ...args )

Each TypedArray constructor performs the following steps when called:

  1. If NewTarget is undefined, throw a TypeError exception.
  2. Let constructorName be the String value of the Constructor Name value specified in Table 69 for this TypedArray constructor.
