javascript - Array only prints length instead of contents -

my array printing out length instead of contents. genuinely looked answer found none. here code:

<p id="para">  </p>  var myarray = [1,2,3,4,5];  myarray = myarray.unshift('charlie');  document.getelementbyid('para').innerhtml = myarray; 

i want array print out charlie,1,2,3,4,5 instead prints out 6. dumb thing doing wrong here?

reading the docs array.unshift says returns length of array.

the unshift() method adds 1 or more elements beginning of array , returns new length of new array.

you might want remove assign operator so

var myarray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];    myarray.unshift('charlie');    document.getelementbyid('para').innerhtml = myarray.join(',');

<div id="para">    </div>
