Answer 1

Jquery has very limited array functions since javascript has most of them itself. But here are tehe ones they have: http://docs.jquery.com/Utilities

Answer 2

Have a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects/Array for documentation on JavaScript Arrays.
jQuery is a library which adds some magic to JavaScript which is a capable and featurefull scripting language. The libraries just fill in the gaps - get to know the core!

Answer 3

there's a plugin for jQuery called 'rich array' discussed here

Answer 4

The Visual JQuery site has some great examples of JQuery's array functionality. (Click "Utilities" on the left-hand tab, then "Array and Object operations")

Answer 5

An easy way to get the max and min value in an array is as follows. This has been explained at get max & min values in array

var myarray = [5,8,2,4,11,7,3];
// Function to get the Max value in Array
Array.max = function( array ){
return Math.max.apply( Math, array );
};

// Function to get the Min value in Array
Array.min = function( array ){
return Math.min.apply( Math, array );
};
// Usage 
alert(Array.max(myarray));
alert(Array.min(myarray));
