• javascript
• jquery

• The sample data syntax is invalid. Also, i don't understand what you're trying to achieve. – Felipe Commented Apr 18, 2011 at 17:35
• Do you mean var sampledata = [10,20,30,40]; – Chandu Commented Apr 18, 2011 at 17:39

Pure JavaScript:

var newData = [];
var sampledata = [10,20,30,40];
for (var i = 0; i < sampledata.length; i++) {
    newData.push([i, sampledata[i]]);
}

Using higher-order functions:

var newData = sampledata.map(function(el, i) {
    return [i, el];
})

if sampledata is an array

var sampledata = [10,20,30,40]
var newData  = []
jQuery.each(sampledata,function(i,data){newData.push([i,data])})
