In JavaScript, you can manipulate arrays and objects to add and delete elements. Here are examples for arrays and objects:

Arrays:

1. Add code examples for each method mentioned.

2. Explain the differences between pop(), shift(), and splice() methods.

3. Provide more context on when and why to use element manipulation in JavaScript.

4. Elaborate on error prevention techniques and handling edge cases.

let myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Add element
let elementToAdd = 6;
myArray.push(elementToAdd);

// Remove element by value
let elementToRemove = 3;
myArray = myArray.filter(item => item !== elementToRemove);

// Remove element by index
let indexToRemove = 1;
myArray.splice(indexToRemove, 1);

console.log(myArray);

In JavaScript, the line myArray = myArray.filter(item => item !== elementToRemove); is using the filter method to create a new array that includes only the elements that do not match the value specified by elementToRemove. Let me break down the code:

• myArray is an array.

• filter is an array method in JavaScript that creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.

• The provided function is (item => item !== elementToRemove). This is an arrow function that checks whether each element (item) is not equal (!==) to the value stored in the variable elementToRemove.

• The result is a new array that contains only the elements from myArray where the condition specified in the arrow function is true.

So, in the context of your example:

let elementToRemove = 3;
myArray = myArray.filter(item => item !== elementToRemove);

This code removes all occurrences of the value 3 from the array myArray and assigns the filtered array back to the variable myArray. The original array is not modified; instead, a new array is created with the elements that meet the specified condition.

Objects:

To add a property to an object, you can simply assign a value to a new key. To delete a property, you can use the delete keyword.

let myObject = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 };

// Add property
let keyToAdd = 'd';
let valueToAdd = 4;
myObject[keyToAdd] = valueToAdd;

// Remove property by key
let keyToRemove = 'b';
delete myObject[keyToRemove];

console.log(myObject);

Remember to handle cases where the element or property might not exist in the array or object to prevent errors.
