</span> * @class Array
 *
 * In JavaScript, the `Array` property of the global object is a constructor for
 * array instances.
 *
 * An array is a JavaScript object. Note that you shouldn't use it as an
 * associative array, use {@link Object} instead.
 *
 * # Creating an Array
 *
 * The following example creates an array, msgArray, with a length of 0, then assigns values to
 * msgArray[0] and msgArray[99], changing the length of the array to 100.
 *
 *     var msgArray = new Array();
 *     msgArray[0] = &quot;Hello&quot;;
 *     msgArray[99] = &quot;world&quot;;
 *
 *     if (msgArray.length == 100)
 *     print(&quot;The length is 100.&quot;);
 *
 * # Creating a Two-dimensional Array
 *
 * The following creates chess board as a two dimensional array of strings. The first move is made by
 * copying the 'P' in 6,4 to 4,4. The position 4,4 is left blank.
 *
 *     var board =
 *     [ ['R','N','B','Q','K','B','N','R'],
 *     ['P','P','P','P','P','P','P','P'],
 *     [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '],
 *     [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '],
 *     [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '],
 *     [' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '],
 *     ['p','p','p','p','p','p','p','p'],
 *     ['r','n','b','q','k','b','n','r']];
 *     print(board.join('\n') + '\n\n');
 *
 *     // Move King's Pawn forward 2
 *     board[4][4] = board[6][4];
 *     board[6][4] = ' ';
 *     print(board.join('\n'));
 *
 * Here is the output:
 *
 *     R,N,B,Q,K,B,N,R
 *     P,P,P,P,P,P,P,P
 *      , , , , , , ,
 *      , , , , , , ,
 *      , , , , , , ,
 *      , , , , , , ,
 *     p,p,p,p,p,p,p,p
 *     r,n,b,q,k,b,n,r
 *
 *     R,N,B,Q,K,B,N,R
 *     P,P,P,P,P,P,P,P
 *      , , , , , , ,
 *      , , , , , , ,
 *      , , , ,p, , ,
 *      , , , , , , ,
 *     p,p,p,p, ,p,p,p
 *     r,n,b,q,k,b,n,r
 *
 * # Accessing array elements
 *
 * Array elements are nothing less than object properties, so they are accessed as such.
 *
 *     var myArray = new Array(&quot;Wind&quot;, &quot;Rain&quot;, &quot;Fire&quot;);
 *     myArray[0]; // &quot;Wind&quot;
 *     myArray[1]; // &quot;Rain&quot;
 *     // etc.
 *     myArray.length; // 3
 *
 *     // Even if indices are properties, the following notation throws a syntax error
 *     myArray.2;
 *
 *     // It should be noted that in JavaScript, object property names are strings. Consequently,
 *     myArray[0] === myArray[&quot;0&quot;];
 *     myArray[1] === myArray[&quot;1&quot;];
 *     // etc.
 *
 *     // However, this should be considered carefully
 *     myArray[02]; // &quot;Fire&quot;. The number 02 is converted as the &quot;2&quot; string
 *     myArray[&quot;02&quot;]; // undefined. There is no property named &quot;02&quot;
 *
 * # Relationship between length and numerical properties
 *
 * An array's length property and numerical properties are connected. Here is some
 * code explaining how this relationship works.
 *
 *     var a = [];
 *
 *     a[0] = 'a';
 *     console.log(a[0]); // 'a'
 *     console.log(a.length); // 1
 *
 *     a[1] = 32;
 *     console.log(a[1]); // 32
 *     console.log(a.length); // 2
 *
 *     a[13] = 12345;
 *     console.log(a[13]); // 12345
 *     console.log(a.length); // 14
 *
 *     a.length = 10;
 *     console.log(a[13]); // undefined, when reducing the length elements after length+1 are removed
 *     console.log(a.length); // 10
 *
 * # Creating an array using the result of a match
 *
 * The result of a match between a regular expression and a string can create an array.
 * This array has properties and elements that provide information about the match. An
 * array is the return value of RegExp.exec, String.match, and String.replace. To help
 * explain these properties and elements, look at the following example and then refer
 * to the table below:
 *
 *     // Match one d followed by one or more b's followed by one d
 *     // Remember matched b's and the following d
 *     // Ignore case
 *
 *     var myRe = /d(b+)(d)/i;
 *     var myArray = myRe.exec(&quot;cdbBdbsbz&quot;);
 *
 * The properties and elements returned from this match are as follows:
 *
 *
 * | Property/Element | Description                                                                           | Example
 * |:-----------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:-------------------
 * | `input`          | A read-only property that reflects the original string against which the              | cdbBdbsbz
 * |                  | regular expression was matched.                                                       |
 * | `index`          | A read-only property that is the zero-based index of the match in the string.         | 1
 * | `[0]`            | A read-only element that specifies the last matched characters.                       | dbBd
 * | `[1], ...[n]`    | Read-only elements that specify the parenthesized substring matches, if included in   | [1]: bB [2]: d
 * |                  | the regular expression. The number of possible parenthesized substrings is unlimited. |

<span id='Array-method-constructor'>/**
</span> * @method constructor
 * Creates new Array object.
 *
 * @param {Number/Object...} items Either a number that specifies the length of array or any number of items
 * for the array.
 */

// Properties

<span id='Array-property-length'>/**
</span> * @property {Number} length
 * Reflects the number of elements in an array.
 *
 * The value of the `length` property is an integer with a positive sign and a value less than 2 to the 32
 * power (232).
 *
 * You can set the `length` property to truncate an array at any time. When you extend an array by changing
 * its `length` property, the number of actual elements does not increase; for example, if you set `length`
 * to 3 when it is currently 2, the array still contains only 2 elements.
 *
 * In the following example the array numbers is iterated through by looking at the `length` property to see
 * how many elements it has. Each value is then doubled.
 *
 *     var numbers = [1,2,3,4,5];
 *     for (var i = 0; i &lt; numbers.length; i++) {
 *         numbers[i] *= 2;
 *     }
 *     // numbers is now [2,4,6,8,10];
 *
 * The following example shortens the array `statesUS` to a length of 50 if the current `length` is greater
 * than 50.
 *
 *     if (statesUS.length &gt; 50) {
 *         statesUS.length=50
 *     }

<span id='Array-method-pop'>/**
</span> * @method pop
 * The pop method removes the last element from an array and returns that value to the caller.
 *
 * `pop` is intentionally generic; this method can be called or applied to objects resembling

 * consecutive, zero-based numerical properties may not behave in any meaningful manner.
 *
 *     var myFish = [&quot;angel&quot;, &quot;clown&quot;, &quot;mandarin&quot;, &quot;surgeon&quot;];
 *     var popped = myFish.pop();
 *     alert(popped); // Alerts 'surgeon'
 *
 * @return {Object} The last element in the array
 */

<span id='Array-method-push'>/**
</span> * @method push
 * Adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array.
 *
 * `push` is intentionally generic. This method can be called or applied to objects resembling
 * arrays. The push method relies on a length property to determine where to start inserting
 * the given values. If the length property cannot be converted into a number, the index used
 * is 0. This includes the possibility of length being nonexistent, in which case length will
 * also be created.
 *
 * The only native, array-like objects are strings, although they are not suitable in
 * applications of this method, as strings are immutable.
 *
 * ### Adding elements to an array
 *
 * The following code creates the sports array containing two elements, then appends two elements
 * to it. After the code executes, sports contains 4 elements: &quot;soccer&quot;, &quot;baseball&quot;, &quot;football&quot;
 * and &quot;swimming&quot;.
 *

<span id='Array-method-reverse'>/**
</span> * @method reverse
 * Reverses the order of the elements of an array -- the first becomes the last, and the

 *
 * The reverse method transposes the elements of the calling array object in place, mutating the
 * array, and returning a reference to the array.
 *
 * The following example creates an array myArray, containing three elements, then reverses the array.
 *
 *     var myArray = [&quot;one&quot;, &quot;two&quot;, &quot;three&quot;];
 *     myArray.reverse();
 *
 * This code changes myArray so that:

<span id='Array-method-shift'>/**
</span> * @method shift
 * Removes the first element from an array and returns that element.
 *
 * The `shift` method removes the element at the zeroeth index and shifts the values at consecutive
 * indexes down, then returns the removed value.
 *
 * `shift` is intentionally generic; this method can be called or applied to objects resembling
 * arrays. Objects which do not contain a `length` property reflecting the last in a series of
 * consecutive, zero-based numerical properties may not behave in any meaningful manner.
 *
 * The following code displays the `myFish` array before and after removing its first element. It also
 * displays the removed element:
 *
 *     // assumes a println function is defined
 *     var myFish = [&quot;angel&quot;, &quot;clown&quot;, &quot;mandarin&quot;, &quot;surgeon&quot;];

 *     var shifted = myFish.shift();
 *     println(&quot;myFish after: &quot; + myFish);
 *     println(&quot;Removed this element: &quot; + shifted);
 *
 * This example displays the following:
 *
 *     myFish before: angel,clown,mandarin,surgeon
 *     myFish after: clown,mandarin,surgeon
 *     Removed this element: angel
 *
 * @return {Object} The first element of the array prior to shifting.
 */

<span id='Array-method-sort'>/**
</span> * @method sort
 * Sorts the elements of an array.
 *
 * If `compareFunction` is not supplied, elements are sorted by converting them to strings and
 * comparing strings in lexicographic (&quot;dictionary&quot; or &quot;telephone book,&quot; not numerical) order. For
 * example, &quot;80&quot; comes before &quot;9&quot; in lexicographic order, but in a numeric sort 9 comes before 80.
 *
 * If `compareFunction` is supplied, the array elements are sorted according to the return value of
 * the compare function. If a and b are two elements being compared, then:
 * If `compareFunction(a, b)` is less than 0, sort `a` to a lower index than `b`.
 * If `compareFunction(a, b)` returns 0, leave `a` and `b` unchanged with respect to each other, but
 * sorted with respect to all different elements. Note: the ECMAscript standard does not guarantee
 * this behaviour, and thus not all browsers respect this.
 * If `compareFunction(a, b)` is greater than 0, sort `b` to a lower index than `a`.
 * `compareFunction(a, b)` must always returns the same value when given a specific pair of elements a
 * and b as its two arguments. If inconsistent results are returned then the sort order is undefined
 *
 * So, the compare function has the following form:
 *
 *     function compare(a, b)
 *     {
 *         if (a is less than b by some ordering criterion)
 *             return -1;
 *         if (a is greater than b by the ordering criterion)
 *            return 1;
 *         // a must be equal to b
 *         return 0;
 *     }
 *
 * To compare numbers instead of strings, the compare function can simply subtract `b` from `a`:
 *
 *     function compareNumbers(a, b)
 *     {
 *     return a - b;
 *     }
 *
 * The sort() method can be conveniently used with closures:
 *
 *     var numbers = [4, 2, 5, 1, 3];
 *     numbers.sort(function(a, b) {
 *         return a - b;
 *     });
 *     print(numbers);
 *

 * strings and numbers into the new array.
 *
 * Any operation on the new array will have no effect on the original arrays, and vice versa.
 *
 * ### Concatenating two arrays
 *
 * The following code concatenates two arrays:
 *
 *     var alpha = [&quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;, &quot;c&quot;];
 *     var numeric = [1, 2, 3];
 *
 *     // creates array [&quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;, &quot;c&quot;, 1, 2, 3]; alpha and numeric are unchanged
 *     var alphaNumeric = alpha.concat(numeric);
 *
 * ### Concatenating three arrays
 *
 * The following code concatenates three arrays:
 *
 *     var num1 = [1, 2, 3];
 *     var num2 = [4, 5, 6];
 *     var num3 = [7, 8, 9];
 *
 *     // creates array [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]; num1, num2, num3 are unchanged
 *     var nums = num1.concat(num2, num3);
 *
 * ### Concatenating values to an array
 *
 * The following code concatenates three values to an array:
 *
 *     var alpha = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
 *
 *     // creates array [&quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;, &quot;c&quot;, 1, 2, 3], leaving alpha unchanged
 *     var alphaNumeric = alpha.concat(1, [2, 3]);
 *
 * @param {Object...} values Arrays and/or values to concatenate to the resulting array.
 * @return {Array} New array.

<span id='Array-method-join'>/**
</span> * @method join
 * Joins all elements of an array into a string.
 *
 * The string conversions of all array elements are joined into one string.
 *
 * The following example creates an array, `a`, with three elements, then joins the array three times:
 * using the default separator, then a comma and a space, and then a plus.
 *
 *     var a = new Array(&quot;Wind&quot;,&quot;Rain&quot;,&quot;Fire&quot;);
 *     var myVar1 = a.join();      // assigns &quot;Wind,Rain,Fire&quot; to myVar1
 *     var myVar2 = a.join(&quot;, &quot;);  // assigns &quot;Wind, Rain, Fire&quot; to myVar2
 *     var myVar3 = a.join(&quot; + &quot;); // assigns &quot;Wind + Rain + Fire&quot; to myVar3
 *
 * @param {String} separator Specifies a string to separate each element of the array. The separator
 * is converted to a string if necessary. If omitted, the array elements are separated with a comma.
 * @return {String} A string of the array elements.
 */

<span id='Array-method-slice'>/**
</span> * @method slice
 * Extracts a section of an array and returns a new array.
 *
 * `slice` does not alter the original array, but returns a new &quot;one level deep&quot; copy that contains
 * copies of the elements sliced from the original array. Elements of the original array are copied
 * into the new array as follows:
 * *   For object references (and not the actual object), `slice` copies object references into the
 * new array. Both the original and new array refer to the same object. If a referenced object
 * changes, the changes are visible to both the new and original arrays.
 * *   For strings and numbers (not {@link String} and {@link Number} objects), `slice` copies strings
 * and numbers into the new array. Changes to the string or number in one array does not affect the
 * other array.
 *
 * If a new element is added to either array, the other array is not affected.
 *
 * ### Using slice
 *
 * In the following example, `slice` creates a new array, `newCar`, from `myCar`. Both include a
 * reference to the object `myHonda`. When the color of `myHonda` is changed to purple, both arrays
 * reflect the change.
 *
 *     // Using slice, create newCar from myCar.
 *     var myHonda = { color: &quot;red&quot;, wheels: 4, engine: { cylinders: 4, size: 2.2 } };
 *     var myCar = [myHonda, 2, &quot;cherry condition&quot;, &quot;purchased 1997&quot;];
 *     var newCar = myCar.slice(0, 2);
 *
 *     // Print the values of myCar, newCar, and the color of myHonda
 *     //  referenced from both arrays.
 *     print(&quot;myCar = &quot; + myCar.toSource());
 *     print(&quot;newCar = &quot; + newCar.toSource());
 *     print(&quot;myCar[0].color = &quot; + myCar[0].color);
 *     print(&quot;newCar[0].color = &quot; + newCar[0].color);
 *
 *     // Change the color of myHonda.
 *     myHonda.color = &quot;purple&quot;;
 *     print(&quot;The new color of my Honda is &quot; + myHonda.color);
 *
 *     // Print the color of myHonda referenced from both arrays.
 *     print(&quot;myCar[0].color = &quot; + myCar[0].color);
 *     print(&quot;newCar[0].color = &quot; + newCar[0].color);
 *
 * This script writes:
 *
 *     myCar = [{color:&quot;red&quot;, wheels:4, engine:{cylinders:4, size:2.2}}, 2, &quot;cherry condition&quot;,
 *     &quot;purchased 1997&quot;]
 *     newCar = [{color:&quot;red&quot;, wheels:4, engine:{cylinders:4, size:2.2}}, 2]
 *     myCar[0].color = red
 *     newCar[0].color = red
 *     The new color of my Honda is purple
 *     myCar[0].color = purple
 *     newCar[0].color = purple
 *
 * @param {Number} begin Zero-based index at which to begin extraction.
 * As a negative index, `start` indicates an offset from the end of the sequence. `slice(-2)` extracts
 * the second-to-last element and the last element in the sequence
 * @param {Number} end Zero-based index at which to end extraction. `slice` extracts up to but not
 * including `end`.
 * `slice(1,4)` extracts the second element through the fourth element (elements indexed 1, 2, and 3).
 * As a negative index, end indicates an offset from the end of the sequence. `slice(2,-1)` extracts
 * the third element through the second-to-last element in the sequence.
 * If `end` is omitted, `slice` extracts to the end of the sequence.
 * @return {Array} Array from the new start position up to (but not including) the specified end position.

<span id='Array-method-toString'>/**
</span> * @method toString
 * Returns a string representing the array and its elements. Overrides the `Object.prototype.toString`
 * method.
 *
 * The {@link Array} object overrides the `toString` method of {@link Object}. For Array objects, the
 * `toString` method joins the array and returns one string containing each array element separated by
 * commas. For example, the following code creates an array and uses `toString` to convert the array
 * to a string.
 *
 *     var monthNames = new Array(&quot;Jan&quot;,&quot;Feb&quot;,&quot;Mar&quot;,&quot;Apr&quot;);
 *     myVar = monthNames.toString(); // assigns &quot;Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr&quot; to myVar
 *
 * JavaScript calls the `toString` method automatically when an array is to be represented as a text
 * value or when an array is referred to in a string concatenation.
 *
 * @return {String} The array as a string.
