How to iterate through an array of arrays while using an expression within the indices












2















When I run the below JavaScript code the first two lines of output are:



5
undefined


Why is the second output line undefined and not 5? Here is the code:






matrix = [
[2, 5, 7],
[4, 6, 1],
[7, 3, 9]
];
for (var i in matrix) {
for (var j in matrix[i]) {
console.log(matrix[0][0 + 1]);
console.log(matrix[i][j + 1]);
}
}

    Don't use for...in with arrays, it hould be used with objects, in your code both i and j are strings, so j + 1 will not be what you expect it to be. It also loops the array out of order

  • Because j is the string "0". "0" + 1 is "01", not 1. Related: Javascript - For Loop key undefined ONLY for 1st iteration?.

oNot sure why you are trying to +1. This is causing your issue.
Also included array.forEach of this as well.



Included fix based on Ibrahim comment






matrix = [[2, 5, 7], [4, 6, 1], [7, 3, 9]];
for(let i of matrix){
for(let j of i){
console.log(j);
}
}

matrix.forEach(m => {

    You have to cast your j variable to integer using Number() function.






    matrix = [
    [2, 5, 7],
    [4, 6, 1],
    [7, 3, 9]
    ];
    for (var i in matrix) {
    for (var j in matrix[i]) {
    console.log(matrix[0][0 + 1]);
    console.log(matrix[i][Number(j) + 1]);
    }
