The distinction between the for..in and for..of methods of arrays in JavaScript will be discussed in this blog.

These methods are a simplified form of the actual for loop, however they should not be used in place of the standard for loop.

• for loop

for( let i=0; i<length; i++)

This is the standard for loop which iterates over the length and returns i .

• for...in loop

Synatx: for( let key in obj)

👉 It is for iterating over the "enumerable" properties of an object.

👉 It gives us the keys/properties of an object.

👉 It is mostly used with objects.

👉 It does not have a specific order of execution.

• for...of loop

Synatx: for(let value of array)

👉 It is used to iterate over "iterable".

👉 It is mostly used with strings and arrays

👉 It does not work with objects as they are not "iterable".

This topic had always been a source of uncertainty for me, so I decided to write a blog on it in order to learn more about it so that I might help someone else who was in the same boat.
