In this example we will show how to use the length property to both return and set the length of an array:

<script type="text/javascript">

var arr = new Array(3);
arr[0] = "John";
arr[1] = "Andy";
arr[2] = "Wendy";

document.write("Original length: " + arr.length);
document.write("<br />");

arr.length=5;
document.write("New length: " + arr.length);

</script>

The output of the code above will be:
