# 改变数组的length

## 引子

```
const clothes = ['jacket', 't-shirt']; 
clothes.length = 0;

clothes[0]; // => ???
```

## 解析

数组对象的 `length` 属性具有一些[特殊的行为](http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-properties-of-array-instances-length)：

> 减少 length 属性的值的副作用是删除 自己的 数组元素，这些元素的数组索引位于新旧长度值之间。

由于 `length` 属性行为，当 JS 执行 `clothes.length = 0` 时，删除所有的 `clothes` 项。 所以 `clothes[0]` 的值为 `undefined`，因为 `clothes` 数组已被清空。

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mm.ricky.moe/javascript/js-trap/gai-bian-shu-zu-de-length.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
