JavaScript provides several methods to manipulate arrays, making it easier to work with lists of data.

Common Array Methods

pop(): Removes the last element from an array.
shift(): Removes the first element from an array.
unshift(): Adds an element to the beginning of an array.

Example of Array Methods

      
        let fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"];
