About the Book
Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja, Second Edition uses practical examples to clearly illustrate each core concept and technique. This completely revised edition shows you how to master key JavaScript concepts such as functions, closures, objects, prototypes, and promises. It covers APIs such as the DOM, events, and timers. You'll discover best practice techniques such as testing, and cross-browser development, all taught from the perspective of skilled JavaScript practitioners.
What's Inside
- Writing more effective code with functions, objects, and closures
- Learning to avoid JavaScript application pitfalls
- Using regular expressions to write succinct text-processing code
- Managing asynchronous code with promises
- Fully revised to cover concepts from ES6 and ES7
It doesn't work that way. When you define a timer (setTimeout or setInterval) the JS engine doesn't guarantee that it will run in 1,000 ms because it depends on what it's processing in the queue.
Also, the timer doesn't add a task in the queue if it already exists. This means that if the timer expires and there's already an instance in the queue for that timer, then it's not added again.
I recommend you this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1617292850/?tag=stackoverflow17-20. It has a chapter about events and it explains exactly what you are asking.
It doesn't call push but it's a simpler way to initialize an array when you know the elements in advance.
If you want to add another element you can do it in multiple ways like:
1) array.push(22); // adds integer 22 to the array
or
2) array[4] = 22; // adds integer 22 to the array at index 4
You can even do this:
array[20] = 22; // this will resize the array and keep all the uninitialized elements returns undefined. So array[10] is undefined, for ex.
If you want to know all the details about arrays explained in a simple way I recommend you the book: Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja. It has an entire chapter about arrays.
