What’s the difference between Array(1) and new Array(1) in JavaScript?

by

With Array, both are equivalent. The new is injected when it’s called as a function:

15.4.1 The Array Constructor Called as a Function

When Array is called as a function rather than as a constructor, it creates and initialises a new Array object. Thus the function call Array(…) is equivalent to the object creation expression new Array(…) with the same arguments.

From ECMA-262, 3th Edition (with similar in 5th Edition). See also 22.1.1 The Array Constructor in ECMA-262 ECMAScript 2020 specification (11th Edition).
