Warning: you need to

      require(["esri/geometry/Point"], function(Point) { /* code goes here */ });

For example, I want map center at lng, lat with zoom level 18

Recommend:

map.centerAndZoom(new Point(lng, lat), 18);

Alternative: (sometimes, it failed to move the map, maybe ESRI need to fix bug for Javascript api v3.24)

map.centerAt(new Point(lng, lat));
//or
// map.centerAt(new Point(lng, lat, new SpatialReference({wkid: 4326})));
map.setZoom(18);

1. arcgis js api v3.28 only,

For example, I want map center at lng, lat with zoom level 18

Recommend:

map.centerAndZoom(new Point(lng, lat), 18);

map.centerAt(new Point(lng, lat));
//or

map.setZoom(18);

2. arcgis js v4.11 only

          view.center = [_center_long,  _center_lat]
       view.zoom = _center_zoom;
