                "apple",

            document.write("<ul>");
            for(var i=0;i<fruits.length;i++){
                document.write("<li>"+fruits[i]+"</li>");

            //Remove Item from Last
            fruits.pop();
            document.write("<br />")
            fruits.forEach(function(item,index,array){
                document.write("Fruits["+index+"] = "+item+"<br />");
            });

                document.write("Fruits["+index+"] = "+item+"<br />");
            });
            
            
            //Finding Index of Item
            var index = fruits.indexOf("banana");
            document.write("<br />");
            document.write("Index of banana : "+index+"<br />");
            
            
            //Removing any item from List
            document.write("<br />");
            var pos = fruits.indexOf("banana");
            fruits.splice(pos,1)
            fruits.forEach(function(item,index,array){
                document.write("Fruits["+index+"] = "+item+"<br />");
