Array to String in JavaScript

How to convert an array into a string in JavaScript?

Array to String

Array to string means converting an array into a string. In JavaScript the conversion of Array to String possible with the help of toString() method. The toString() method does not have any parameters.

NOTE: In string references also toString() method is used, in that string references toString() method return the value of a string.

In JavaScript Arrays, by using toString() method we can convert an array into a string.

EXAMPLE: Converting an array which contains elements to a string.

<p>Converting an array elements to a string.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="myValue()" value="Return"/>
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myValue() {
        var a = ["India", "Mumbai", "Pakisthan", "Karachi", "Malaysia", "Abudhabi"];
        var b = a.toString();
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = b;
    }
</script>

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId"to the second <p> element in the HTML code. There is a function myValue() in the<script>block which is connected to the onclick of the HTML button and array with value "["India", "Mumbai", "Pakisthan", "Karachi", "Malaysia", "Abudhabi"]" to the variable a. We need to convert an array into a string, for that we are using toString() method, this method converts the elements of an array into a string and returns the each element in the output seperated by comma (,) operator. Onclick of the button "Return" in the HTML code fires the function myValue() in the <script> block, at the same time toString() method converts the elements in an array to string and returns as output.

OUTPUT

In the above output we can notice that the each element is seperated by comma (,) operator.

EXAMPLE: Converting an array which contains numbers to a string.

<p>Converting an array numbers to a string.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="myValue()" value="Return"/>
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myValue() {
        var a = [52, 36, 85, 24, 69, 47, 32, 3, 4, 8];
        var b = a.toString();
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = b;
    }
</script>

Converting array numbers into a string
