Valentine’s Day is almost here, and Rahul wants to plan the perfect romantic evening for his girlfriend Neha! But instead of just making a plan, let’s use JavaScript array methods to structure the perfect date.

Get ready to learn JavaScript in the most romantic way possible!

1. Array. Push () - Adding Romantic Plans

The push () method adds one or more elements to the end of an array. Here, Rahul adds more plans to the list.

Copy

let valentinePlans = ["Dinner", "Flowers", "Love Letter"];
valentinePlans.push("Movie Night", "Chocolate Gift");
console.log(valentinePlans);

// Output: ["Dinner", "Flowers", "Love Letter", "Movie Night", "Chocolate Gift"]

2. Array. Pop () - A Small Change

The pop () method removes the last element from an array. Since Neha prefers ice cream over chocolates, Rahul removes chocolates from the plan.

Copy

valentinePlans.pop();
console.log(valentinePlans);

// Output: ["Dinner", "Flowers", "Love Letter", "Movie Night"]

3. Array. Unshift () - Morning Love Message

The unshift () method adds an element to the beginning of an array. Rahul starts the day with a sweet morning text.

Copy

valentinePlans.unshift("Mornning Love Message");
console.log(valentinePlans);

// Output: ["Morning Love Message", "Dinner", "Flowers", "Love Letter", "Movie Night"]

4. Array. Shift () - The Day Begins!

The shift () method removes the first element from an array. Since the morning message is sent, Rahul removes it from the list.

Copy

valentinePlans.shift();
console.log(valentinePlans);

// Output: ["Dinner", "Flowers", "Love Letter", "Movie Night"]

5.Array.slice() - Picking the Surprise Gifts

The slice () method extracts a portion of an array without modifying the original one. Rahul picks only the surprise gifts for Neha.

Copy

let surprises = valentinePlans.slice(1, 3);
console.log(surprises);

// Output: ["Flowers", "Love Letter"]

6.Array.indexOf() - Checking for a Special Request

The index of () method finds the position of an element in an array. Rahul checks if Love Letter is already included.

Copy

console.log(valentinePlans.indexOf("Love Letter"));

// Output: 2 (Yes, it’s in the plan!)

7.Array.forEach() - Preparing Everything

The for Each () method loops through an array and applies a function to each element. Rahul ensures every plan is ready.

Copy

valentinePlans.forEach((plan) => {
    console.log(`Rahul prepares: ${plan} ✅`);
  });

// Output:

Rahul prepares: Dinner

Rahul prepares: Flowers ✅

Rahul prepares: Love Letter ✅

Rahul prepares: Movie Night ✅

8.Array.map () - Adding a Romantic Touch

The map () method creates a new array by applying a function to each element. Rahul personalizes every plan with extra romance.

Copy

let specialPlans = valentinePlans.map(plan => `Romantic ${plan}`);
console.log(specialPlans);

// Output: ["Romantic Dinner", "Romantic Flowers", "Romantic Love Letter", "Romantic Movie Night"]

9.Array.sort() - Organizing the Evening

The sort () method arranges array elements in ascending order. Rahul makes sure everything is in the perfect order.

Copy

let sortedPlans = ["Flowers", "Love Letter", "Dinner", "Movie Night"].sort();
console.log(sortedPlans);

// Output: ["Dinner", "Flowers", "Love Letter", "Movie Night"]

10.Array.join() - The Final Valentine’s Plan

The join () method converts an array into a string, separating elements with a chosen symbol. Rahul finalizes his romantic itinerary.

Copy

let finalPlan = valentinePlans.join(", ");
console.log(`Tonight’s Valentine’s Plan: ${finalPlan} 💕`);

// Output: Tonight’s Valentine’s Plan: Dinner, Flowers, Love Letter, Movie Night 💕

Love + JavaScript = A Perfect Date Night!

Rahul’s romantic evening is all set, thanks to JavaScript array methods! Now, all that’s left is for Neha to say, "Best Valentine’s Day ever!"

"Being single on Valentine’s Day means loving yourself a little extra—because self-love is the greatest love of all!" 💙✨
