In this blog series tutorial, I will be covering some of the basic JavaScript programming concepts.
This is geared toward beginners and anyone looking to refresh their knowledge.

Level 7 will cover:
- Store Multiple Values in One Variable Using JavaScript Arrays
- Nest One Array Within Another Array
- Access Array Data With Indexes
- Modify Array Data
Store Multiple Values in One Variable Using JavaScript Arrays
Multiple values can be stored together by enclosing them with brackets []. These can be any combination of strings and/or numbers.
let myArr = ["Natural", 20];
Nest One Array Within Another Array
Nesting arrays within another array is also possible by using brackets inside of brackets. This is referred to as multi-dimensional array.
let multiDimensionalArray = [
["Hit points", 30],
["Damage", 15]
];
Access Array Data With Indexes
Indexes are a way to reference and then access data inside of an array. They use brackets and specify an entry in an array. Arrays use Zero-based indexing (starts the count from zero).
let diceArray = [2,5,6,4,1,1];
diceArray[3];
// 4
Modify Array Data
The entries of arrays are able to be changed, and this is referred to as mutable.
let diceArray = [2,10,8,7];
diceArray[0] = 4;
diceArray[0];
// 4
// Now the 2 in our array is 4
