What are the best practices to follow when declaring an array in Javascript?

Question

When I need to declare a new array I use this notation

var arr = new Array();

But when testing online, for example on jsbin, a warning sign

Answer 1

There is a limit the constructor can take as arguments.

On most systems I encoutered the limit is 2^16 (2 bytes):

var myFreshArr = new Array(0,1,2,3 ..... 65536);

That will cause an error (too many arguments....)

When using the literal [] you don't have such problems.

In case you don't care about such big arrays, I think you can use whatever you prefer.
