I am using jQuery in my web application. I want to use arrays, but I am not able to find out functions for arrays (add, remove or append elements in array) in jQuery. Is there any link related to jQuery array functions which will explain the jQuery array functions?

Have a look at
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects/Array
for documentation on JavaScript Arrays.
jQuery is a library which adds some magic to JavaScript which is a capable and featurefull scripting language. The libraries just fill in the gaps - get to know the core!
jQuery has very limited array functions since JavaScript has most of them itself. But here are the ones they have: Utilities - jQuery API.
An easy way to get the max and min value in an array is as follows. This has been explained at get max & min values in array
var myarray = [5,8,2,4,11,7,3];
// Function to get the Max value in Array
Array.max = function( array ){
return Math.max.apply( Math, array );
};
// Function to get the Min value in Array
Array.min = function( array ){
return Math.min.apply( Math, array );
};
// Usage
alert(Array.max(myarray));
alert(Array.min(myarray));
The Visual jQuery site has some great examples of jQuery's array functionality. (Click "Utilities" on the left-hand tab, and then "Array and Object operations".)
