    JavaScript Array Const


    JavaScript Array Const

    When you declare an array using const, the reference to the array cannot be reassigned. However, the array elements can still be modified.

    Example:

    const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];
    
    // Modify array elements
    fruits[0] = "Mango";
    console.log(fruits); // Output: ["Mango", "Banana", "Orange"]

    Even though fruits is declared as a constant, its elements can be changed. However, you cannot assign a new array to fruits once it’s declared.

    Example:

    const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];
    
    // This will throw an error
    fruits = ["Mango", "Pineapple"];

    Using const with arrays is useful when you want to ensure that the reference to the array remains constant, but you need to modify its elements.
