JavaScript Code

for…in loop

for (key in object) {
  //code
}

• for is keyword
• key is variable to hold the current key of object during iteration
• object is any valid object that has keys and respective values
• code is any valid JavaScript code

for…in loop iterates over the keys of the object, and executes the block of code for each key

we can also use for…in loop to iterate over the elements of an array. index of the elements would be key, and the element would be the value

Examples

1. for…in loop to print the key-value pairs of student object

const student = {
    name: 'Anita',
    class: 5,
    age: 11,
    nationality: 'India'
}

for ( let key in student ) {
    console.log(key + " - " + student[key]);
}

2. for…in loop to iterate over elements of an array

let fruits = [ 'apple', 'banana', 'cherry' ]

for ( let index in fruits ) {
    console.log(index + ' - ' + fruits[index]);
}
