In our review of Array.indexOf()
we looked at using the check for -1
assigned to the indexOf()
as an indication that that item was not part of the array.
With Array.push()
we can add items to the array.
var family = ['Justin','Laura','Noah','Darcey'];
if(family.indexOf('Waffle the wonder dog') === -1) {
// Waffle isn't there, let's add him
family.push('Waffle the wonder dog');
console.log(family);
} else {
// Waffle exists already.
}
