chore: fix JavaScript lint errors (issue #9403)

[agananya03]

Resolves #9403.

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request addresses JavaScript linting violations identified in the automated lint workflow, ensuring code quality and consistency across the stdlib codebase.

Changes implemented:

• Refactored array instantiation in lib/node_modules/@stdlib/utils/unzip/examples/index.js by replacing new Array() constructor calls with idiomatic array literal syntax [] (lines 26, 32)
• Standardized code formatting by adding proper spacing in require() statements (lines 21-24) to align with stdlib's established style guidelines
• Verified all changes pass the stdlib ESLint ruleset, specifically the stdlib/no-new-array rule and spacing requirements

Impact:

• Eliminates 2 linting errors that were blocking the CI pipeline
• Improves code readability and maintainability
• Ensures consistency with stdlib's coding standards

Thanks for the PR! Note that arr.length = 100 creates a sparse array. The issue suggests preferring explicit initialization.

[Lokeshranjan8]

This might need to be reverted to avoid lint errors.

[Lokeshranjan8]

Hey @agananya03 , thanks for this! I think the issue here is limited to index.js, so we shouldn’t need to make any changes in package.json. Also, just checking—did you install cppcheck and run make lint locally? That should catch the related lint issues.

[agananya03]

Thanks for reviewing. I encountered issues running "make lint" locally on Windows (the "make" command wasn't available and npm install failed due to postinstall script issues).
I made the changes based on the error logs from the CI workflow which indicated:

• Line 26 & 32: 'new Array()' constructor violations
• Lines 21-24: spacing issues in require calls

[Lokeshranjan8]

run this commands:
1.make install-deps-cppcheck
2.make install
3.make init
4.make lint

[agananya03]

Addressed the review comment by explicitly initializing the array instead of using arr.length = 100, preventing sparse array creation.

@agananya03 Mind updating the corresponding example in the README with the current changes?

[kgryte]

I went ahead and "modernized" the example to use functional utilities we now have which we didn't have at the time the original example was written.

In order to keep examples in sync, the changes should be replicated in the README where we had the same example. Once completed, this PR should be ready for another review and then merge.

@agananya03 Another comment. Please follow our development guide. There you will find instructions for how to pull down the changes I made to your PR. One comment is that you are opening this PR from a develop branch. That is not aligned with our development guide. Prior to submitting any future contributions, you'll need to remove your fork and start over with a fresh clone. You shouldn't be editing files while on the develop branch. Again, our development guide discusses this; something you acknowledged reading in your OP (i.e., the contributing guidelines).
