Grab values from checked checkboxes and put them in an array using Javascript/jQuery

Question

I want to get the values of checked checkboxes with the name="car_type[]" and alert the final array with all the values. How to do that? So far, I have this code. But it's not working. I don't know how to loop through checked checkboxes properly and add the values to the array car_type_arr. I also cannot alert the final array using alert(car_type_arr);. Thanks for any help.

$().ready(function(){

        $('.prettycheckbox').click(function(e) {    

            e.preventDefault();

            var car_type_arr = [];

                $("input:checkbox[name=car_type]:checked").each(function()
                        {
                             // here I need to add values to array like in php
                             // e.g. $car_type_arr[] = $the_grabbed_value;
                             // but using javascript syntax
                             // How to do that?
                        });  

            // then I need to alert the array, how to do that in JS?
            alert(car_type_arr);

            return false;
        });

});

You can use car_type_arr.push(<value>);

You can use map

var car_type_arr = $("input:checkbox[name=car_type]:checked").map(function() {
                        return this.value;
                   }).get();

console.log(car_type_arr);

Try below code:

<input type="checkbox" name="chkBox" value="xxx">
<input type="checkbox" name="chkBox" value="xxx1">
<input type="checkbox" name="chkBox" value="xxx2">
<input type="button" id="btnBox">

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btnBox").click(function(){
        var car_type_arr = [];

        $("input:checkbox[name=chkBox]:checked").each(function() {                
            car_type_arr.push($(this).val());
            alert(car_type_arr);
    }); 
});
});

Try this:

$("input:checkbox[name=car_type]:checked").each(function()
    {
        car_type_arr.push($(this).val());
    });

your code should look like,

$().ready(function(){

        $('.prettycheckbox').click(function(e) {    

            e.preventDefault();

            var car_type_arr = [];

                $("input:checkbox[name=car_type]").each(function()
                        {

                              if($(this).is(':checked')){
                                car_type_arr.push($(this).val());
                              }
                        });  

            alert(car_type_arr);

            return false;
        });

});

    car_type_arr.push($(this).val());
});

$("input:checkbox[name=car_type]").is(":checked") will return boolean value, then how would you call .each() on boolean value.
