// Global object: properties
Array.length // Reflects the number of elements in an array
// Global object: methods
Array.from(arrayLike[, mapFn[, thisArg]]) // Creates a new Array instance from an array-like or iterable object.
Array.isArray(obj) // Returns true if a variable is an array, if not false.

arr.pop() // Removes the last element from an array and returns that element.
arr.push([element1[, ...[, elementN]]]) // Adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array.
arr.reverse() // Reverses the order of the elements of an array in place — the first becomes the last, and the last becomes the first.
arr.shift() // Removes the first element from an array and returns that element.
arr.sort() // Sorts the elements of an array in place and returns the array.

arr.includes(searchElement, fromIndex) // Determines whether an array contains a certain element, returning true or false as appropriate.
arr.indexOf(searchElement[, fromIndex]) // Returns the first (least) index of an element within the array equal to the specified value, or -1 if none is found.
arr.join(separator) // Joins all elements of an array into a string.
arr.lastIndexOf(searchElement, fromIndex) // Returns the last (greatest) index of an element within the array equal to the specified value, or -1 if none is found.
arr.slice(begin, end) // Extracts a section of an array and returns a new array.
arr.toString() // Returns a string representing the array and its elements. Overrides the Object.prototype.toString() method.
arr.toLocaleString(locales, options) // Returns a localized string representing the array and its elements. Overrides the Object.prototype.toLocaleString() method.
// Instance: iteration methods
arr.entries() // Returns a new Array Iterator object that contains the key/value pairs for each index in the array.
arr.every(callback[, thisArg]) // Returns true if every element in this array satisfies the provided testing function.
arr.filter(callback[, thisArg]) // Creates a new array with all of the elements of this array for which the provided filtering function returns true.
arr.find(callback[, thisArg]) // Returns the found value in the array, if an element in the array satisfies the provided testing function or undefined if not found.

Excellent resource!

arr.at() is one recently-added and very convenient method for Array:

Array.prototype.at() - JavaScript - MDN

Especially handy when you are dealing with an array of unknown length in a single-line functional expression... (no need to do some .slice() trickery or store arr.length in a temporary variable)

let getLastTwoElementsInReverseOrder = (arr) => ( "[" + arr.at(-1) + "] and then [" + arr.at(-2) + "]" );

getLastTwoElementsInReverseOrder( [5, 6, 7, 8, 9] );
// returns the string '[9] and [8]'
