Question

How come the | is not added when I call the join method

    var array ="12|23|435|566|46|6|666766|24";
    var arraySplit = array.split("|");
    var newArray = [];
    for (i=0; i<arraySplit.length; i++)
    {
        if (arraySplit[i] < 500)
        {
            newArray.push(arraySplit[i]);
        }
    }
    newArray.join("|");
    alert(newArray);

Answer 1

newArray.join does not modify the existing array. It returns a new string of all the array’s current values, joined by the string you specify. Use the following to store the generated array in a new variable:

var joinedArray = newArray.join("|");
alert(joinedArray);
