Associative arrays: Associative arrays give you another way to store information. Using associative arrays, you can call the array element you need using a string rather than a number, which is often easier to remember. The downside is that these aren't as useful in a loop because they do not use numbers as the index value. An associative array is defined in the same way as a normal array except you use a string instead of an index. So for example we want to use store a list of cars, rather than using: mycars=new Array() We could use: mycars=new Array() This can be very useful sometimes but is not as useful as a regular array when trying to loop through each value with a "for loop" as this type of array isnt based upon index numbers. To access a value in this type of array you again use the index, but this time the index is a string, say for example we wanted to retrieve the value of sporty, we would use: mysportycar=mycars["sporty"] That will create a variable called mysportycar and its value will
be citreon saxo.
