What are the array mutation methods?

JavaScript array methods can be categorized into two groups:

  1. Mutating methods: These are the methods that directly modify the original array.
  2. Non-mutating methods: These methods return a new array without altering the original one.

There are 9 methods in total that mutate the arrays,

  1. push: Adds one or more elements to the end of the array and returns the new length.
  2. pop: Removes the last element from the array and returns that element.
  3. unshift: Adds one or more elements to the beginning of the array and returns the new length..
  4. shift: Removes the first element from the array and returns that element.
  5. splice: Adds or removes elements from the array at a specific index position.
  6. sort: Sorts the elements of the array in-place based on a given sorting criteria.
  7. reverse: Reverses the order of elements in the given array.
  8. fill: Fills all elements of the array with a specific value.
  9. copyWithIn: Copies a sequence of elements within the array to a specified target index in the same array.
