Convert Array To String

To convert an array to string in JavaSCript you can simply use the .join method. This method has an optional parameter for the separator string. If you do not set it the default comma will be used.

Example:

1 2 3 4 5 6

var namesArray=["Jack", "Jill", "Bob","Tom"]; var namesString = namesArray.join(); var namesString2 = namesArray.join(" "); //result

//namesString = "Jack,Jill,Bob,Tom"

//namesString2 = "Jack Jill Bob Tom "

How To Reverse A String With Built-In Functions

In JavaScript there is no single built-in function to reverse a string so we will use three functions:

1. split(): this will split a String object into a string array 2. reverse(): this will reverse an array 3. join(): this will join all elements of an array into a string.

Here is a complete example:

1 2 3

function reverseString(str) { return str.split("").reverse().join(""); }
