Iterating keys of JavaScript Array

Hello,

I'm wondering if I have a JAVASCRIPT array like this below, how do I iterate the keys of the array and/ or iterate the array itself using for loop??

Thanks in advance for the help.

It's not an array. It's merely a JavaScript Object instance. Don't confuse the properties of objects with Array indexes. Just because they both use the [] operators does not make them the same thing. Of course the fact that Arrays themselves are Objects that can have both indexes and properties makes this very confusing.

But, to answer your question:

will iterate over all properties of v and set the property name as p within the loop.

I see. Now I'm confused why when I want to build the data structure, it stops at alert message "point A" and it doesn't continue to the next alert.

That's because you haven't created a JavaScirpt object.

When you declare a variable as such:You have created a variable with undefined contents.

You then attempted:which tried to created a property named A on undefined content. No can do.

Rather, you need to create a JavaScript object. Consider:or its more grown-up shortcut:

Now, test points to an empty Javascript object ready to to be assigned new properties.

By the way, when defining properties such as A, which are valid identifiers, it's good practice to use the simpler dot notation rather than the general [] notation: They are completely equivalent.

I see. Thanks Bear.
