Is typing "var foo = []" the same as typing "var foo = new Array()"?

    @RayonDabre—there is definitive proof that it isn't though, see [*ECMA-262 §22.1.1*](http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-array-constructor). ;-) – RobG Mar 08 '16 at 06:15
  • `new Array(n)` is helpful when you want to declare an empty array of n `undefined` element – amd Mar 08 '16 at 07:16
