The tutorial demonstrates methods to create independent arrays, such as using the Array.from method, and concludes with a preview of upcoming lessons on array methods.

What is a key difference between arrays and objects in JavaScript?

• Both arrays and objects use named indexes.

• Both arrays and objects use numbered indexes.

• Arrays use numbered indexes, objects use named indexes.
