combining javascript variables into an array

Question

I know This is a simple question, but I'm new and I can't figure it out. I am trying to combine two variables into one array. I want to combine var word1 and var word2 to make var new. What is the proper way to do this?

var word1 = 'hello'
var word2 = 'good'
var newArray = ['hello','good']

• user924016: Tried replacing the strings with the vars? [word1, word2]. Btw watch out with new keyword it is reserved. And is the probably what has been confusing you.
• Claudia: Or another approach: initialize the variables first into the "new" array variable.
• user924016: Maybe you where looking to var words = new Array(word1, word2)
• adigioia: Yeah, I didn't realize I couldn't use new, but I was using different names in my script anyways. I just typed new in the question to make it simpler. Thanks for the help everyone, I knew it was simple, I am just starting out learning to code.

Answer 1

you can use .push(), do:

var word1 = 'hello';
var word2 = 'good';
var arr = [];
arr.push(word1, word2);
console.log(arr); //["hello", "good"]
