How to add new array element at the start of an array in javascript?

I have already created a array dynamically using Ajax, but now when i am getting new values to server, sometime i need to add that array on first position based on requirements, so how can i add a new element of an array to first position using javascript(preferred) or jQuery?

Unshift and Shift are the functions which can be used to add or remove elements from the array starting point, while Push and pop are the functions which is used to add element or remove relement at the end of the array

so basically what you need is

var a = [12, 24, 50, 100]; //this is your array
a.unshift(11); // add element add the start of an array
console.log(a); // this will be your result [11,12, 24, 50, 100]

here is a simple diagram created by me
