Javascript Pass Array as a Parameter to a Function with Multiple Parameters

Question

I am trying to pass a string variable and two arrays to a global function. Something like this:

function send_times_to_device(stop_name, times, headsigns) {
  // function code here
}

Later in code:

...
var stop_name = "temp";
var times = new Array(json.length);
var headsigns = new Array(json.length);
...
if(times.length < 6){
  send_times_to_device(stop_name, times, headsigns);
}
...

How would I do this correctly in Javascript?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: You guys were right, there was an error elsewhere in my code, this works!

new Array(n), creates an array with n undefined entries in it.

If you want to create an array with an integer value as the first entry use :

function send_times_to_device(stop_name, times, headsigns) {
  // function code here
    console.log(stop_name);
    console.log(times);
    console.log(headsigns);
}

var stop_name = "temp";
var times = [json.length];
var headsigns = [json.length];

send_times_to_device(stop_name, times, headsigns);
