Description

Property; contains the length of the array. This property is automatically updated when new elements are added to the array. When you assign a value to an array element (for example, `myArray``[``index``] =` `value`)`,` if `index` is a number, and `index``+1` is a greater than the `length` property, the `length` property is updated to `index``+ 1`.

Example

The following code explains how the `length` property is updated.

    // initial length is 0
    myArray = new Array();
    myArray[0] = 'a';
    // myArray.length is updated to 1
    myArray[1] = 'b';
    // myArray.length is updated to 2
    myArray[9] = 'c';
    // myArray.length is updated to 10
