JavaScript Array join() Function

The JavaScript Array.join() method is used to join the elements of the array together into a string. The elements of the string will be separated by a specified separator and its default value is a comma(, ).

Syntax:

Array.join([separator])

Parameters: 

• [separator]: A string to separate each element of the array. By default, the array elements are separated by a comma( , ). 

Return Value:

• This function returns a string created by joining all the elements of the array using the separator.
• If the separator is not provided then the array elements are joined using a comma (, ) as it is the default separator for this function.
• If an empty string is provided as the separator then the elements are joined directly without any character in between them. If the array is empty then this function returns an empty string. 

Example 1: In this example, we will be joining the elements of an array using ( | ) by join() method.

JavaScript

function func() {
    let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
    console.log(a.join('|'));
}

func();

Output

1|2|3|4|5|6

Example 2: In this example, the function join() joins together the elements of the array into a string using ‘, ‘ since it is the default value.

JavaScript

function func() {
    let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
    console.log(a.join());
}

func();

Output

1,2,3,4,5,6

Example 3: In this example, the function join() joins together the elements of the array into a string using ‘ ‘ (empty string). 

JavaScript

function func() {
    let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
    console.log(a.join(''));
}
func();
