What is the difference between for...of and for...in statements in JavaScript?



for…in loop

The “for...in” loop is used to loop through an object's properties.

Here’s the syntax −

Syntax

for (variablename in object) { statement or block to execute }

You can try to run the following example to implement ‘for-in’ loop. It prints the web browser’s Navigator object

Example

Live Demo

<html> <body> <script> var aProperty; document.write("Navigator Object Properties<br /> "); for (aProperty in navigator) { document.write(aProperty); document.write("<br />"); } document.write ("Exiting from the loop!"); </script> </body> </html>

for…of loop

The “for…of” loop is used to loop through iterable objects, which includes Map, Array, arguments, etc.

Syntax

Here’s the syntax −

for (variablename of iterable){ statement or block to execute }

Example

Here’s an example showing iteration with for…of loop

Live Demo

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script> let itObj= [20, 30, 40, 50]; for (let res of itObj) { res += 1; document.write("<br>"+res); } </script> </body> </html>

Output
