JavaScript arrays are <mark style="color:yellow;">**zero-based**</mark> and use <mark style="color:yellow;">**32-bit**</mark> indexes: the index of the first element is <mark style="color:yellow;">**0**</mark>, and the <mark style="color:red;">**highest possible index**</mark> is <mark style="color:blue;">**4294967294**</mark> (<mark style="color:yellow;">**2³²−2**</mark>).

JavaScript arrays <mark style="color:yellow;">**have**</mark> <mark style="color:red;">**no notion**</mark> of an “<mark style="color:yellow;">**out of bounds**</mark>” error. When you try to query a <mark style="color:red;">**nonexistent**</mark>**&#x20;**<mark style="color:yellow;">**property**</mark> of any object, you don’t get an error; you simply get [**undefined**](/web/js/val/prim/undefined.md).
