Indexed collections — Using arrays to store other properties

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Arrays can also be used like objects, to store related information. For example, when an array is the result of a match between a regular expression and a string, the array returns properties and elements that provide information about the match. An array is the return value of RegExp.prototype.exec(), String.prototype.match(), and String.prototype.split(). For information on using arrays with regular expressions, see Regular Expressions.
