Typescript create null array of specified length

Question

I am using splice to add elements to an array at specified index.However In order to to do so I have to create a null array to add the elements at particular index.

If I use an empty array,the elements are not being pushed at specific instance.Right now i'm creating an empty array and then pushing null to that array.I want to know if I can achieve this with any other way.

This is what I'm doing:

arr:any[];
for(let i=0;i<userDefinedLength;i++)
{
    arr.push(null);
}

You can use arr = new Array(userDefinedLength).fill(null);

Use fill:

arr: any[] = new Array(userDefinedLength).fill(null);

You can't use null[] unless you're just using the array as a placeholder:

arr: null[] = new Array(userDefinedLength).fill(null);
