var name = ['Anupam','AnuPriya','Apoorva']; /* loop 01*/ for( var i=0;i<name.length;i+=1) { console.log(name[i]);
} /* loop 02*/ var orderQueue = ['Anupam','AnuPriya','Apoorva']; for( var i=0;i<orderQueue.length;i+=1) { console.log(orderQueue[i]); }

Let me know how you get on. Hope this helps. :-)

19,421 PointsI don't think it is a good idea to call your array 'name'. Can you replace name with something else, like names, and see if the output from console.log is different.

The window object which supplies bunch of predefined global variables already has a name property which is an empty string. Because name already exists as a string, it will try to coerce the value you try to assign to a string.
This problem occurs when using var but not the new let/const keywords

940 PointsHey Dom, Please find below the outputs , I even tried with changing the variables with j, but it gave same result on console. I got desired result on web, but curious to know why console gives these different outputs for same loops /* loop 01*/ var name = ['Anupam','AnuPriya','Apoorva']; for( var i=0;i<name.length;i+=1) { console.log(name[i]); } Output A n u p a m , A n u P r i y a , A p 2o r v a
/* loop 02*/ var orderQueue = ['Anupam','AnuPriya','Apoorva']; for( var i=0;i<orderQueue.length;i+=1) { console.log(orderQueue[i]); } Anupam AnuPriya Apoorva undefined
