Examples
Below are the examples of the Array isArray() method.
Array.isArray([1, 2, 3]); // true
Array.isArray({foo: 123}); // false
Array.isArray('foobar'); // false
Array.isArray(undefined); // false
// all following calls return true
Array.isArray([]);
Array.isArray([1]);
Array.isArray(new Array());
Array.isArray(new Array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'));
Array.isArray(new Array(3));
// Little known fact: Array.prototype itself is an array:
Array.isArray(Array.prototype);
// all following calls return false
Array.isArray();
Array.isArray({});
Array.isArray(null);
Array.isArray(undefined);
Array.isArray(17);
Array.isArray('Array');
Array.isArray(true);
Array.isArray(false);
Array.isArray(new Uint8Array(32));
Array.isArray({ __proto__: Array.prototype });
value1 = "JavaScript";
console.log(Array.isArray(value1)); // false
value2 = 18;
console.log(Array.isArray(value2)); // false
value3 = true;
console.log(Array.isArray(value3)); // false
value4 = [1, 2, 3, 4];
console.log(Array.isArray(value4)); // true
value5 = new Array(3);
console.log(Array.isArray(value5)); // true
value6 = new Uint8Array(16);
console.log(Array.isArray(value6)); // false
