Array
Organize items sequentially.
- lookup O(1) - search item, for example array[0] 
- append: 
- push O(1) - Add at the end of the array: 
- pop O(1) - Remove the last item of the array 
 
- insert: 
- unshift O(n) - Insert at the start of the array 
 
- delete: 
- splice O(n) - Insert or delete 
 
There are two types of array:
- Static array - the length of an array or the size is predetermined, like in Java 
- Dynamic array - the size of an array is not predetermined. If you need to add data, the array will be rebuilt at a new location with more memory. That is why the append can be O(n) because it need to loop all over again to rebuild the array
