cut string and assign into array in javascript

Question

Does anyone know how can I cut a string and then assign into an array with javascript? Example:

var string = "15;24;67;34;56";

I hope tp cut this string into below format and assign into the array:

a[0] = 15 a[1] = 24 a[2] = 67 a[3] = 34 a[3] = 56

Answer 1

var a = string.split(';');

Answer 2

string.split(";")

In this example, you'll end up with an extra array item at the end, though, so you'll want to handle that separately.
