The JavaScript Array fill() Method fills a given range of array elements with the given value. This method is used to manipulate the existing array according to our needs.

Syntax:

arr.fill(value,start,end)

Parameters:

  • Value: Value to be filled.
  • Start: Start index (included) and its default value is 0.
  • End: End index (excluded) and its default index is this.length.

Return value: It returns the modified array.

Example 1: In this example, we will fill an array with 0 starting from an index at 2 till the end index of 4.

JavaScript




// input array contain some elements.
let array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
  
// Here array.fill function fills with 0
// from position 2 till position 3.
console.log(array.fill(0, 2, 4));


Output:

Array [1, 2, 0, 0]

Example 2: In this example, we will fill the array with 9 starting from an index at 2 till the end index of the array.

JavaScript




// input array contain some elements.
let array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
  
// Here array.fill function fill with
// 9 from position 2 till end.
console.log(array.fill(9, 2));


Output:

Array [1, 2, 9, 9, 9, 9]

 Example 3: In this example, we will fill the array completely with 6. This is done by not giving the start and end index to the fill method.

JavaScript




// input array contain some elements.
let array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
  
// Here array.fill function fill with
// 6 from position 0 till end.
console.log(array.fill(6));


Output:

Array [6, 6, 6, 6]
