##Important JavaScript methods

Below is a list of __every__ JavaScript (and [jQuery](http://jquery.com/)) method that we will use in our app. Some of their functions change when multiple parameters are used. Click each link for more info.

- [Array `push(item)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/push): Adds `item` to end of array.

- [Array `slice(index)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/slice): Returns a smaller (modified) array.

- [Array `indexOf(item)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/indexOf): Returns the index of the first identical `item` in the array.

- [Array `lastIndexOf(item)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/lastIndexOf): Returns the index of the last identical `item` in the array.

- [Array `join(string)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/join): Combines the array into a string with elements separated by `string`.

- [String `split(string)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/split): Opposite of `join()`. Splits the string into an array where each element was separated by `string`.

- [String `charAt(index)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/charAt): Returns the character at `index`.

- [String `trimLeft()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/TrimLeft): Removes whitespace at the beginning of a string.

- [String `toLowerCase()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/toLowerCase): Returns a new string with only lowercase characters.
