title: Javascript : Array anti-pattern
body: <p>I'm trying to get myself around the insights of JavaScript, currently learning it.</p>
  
  <p>At arrays, I've been reading that the followng is an anti-pattern :</p>
  
  <pre><code>var a = new Array("a", "b", "c");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the the following, is not :</p>
  
  <pre><code>var a = ["a", "b", "c"];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm often having hard times with understanding <a href="/questions/tagged/javascript" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;javascript&#39;" rel="tag">javascript</a>, because I'm tempted to make analogy with <a href="/questions/tagged/c%23" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;c#&#39;" rel="tag">c#</a> altough, I shouldn't! Could you please explain me why is this? </p>
