为什么使用“for...in"?数组迭代是个坏主意? [英] Why is using "for...in" for array iteration a bad idea?

问题描述

有人告诉我不要在 JavaScript 中将 for...in 与数组一起使用.为什么不呢?

I've been told not to use for...in with arrays in JavaScript. Why not?

推荐答案

原因是一个构造:

var a = []; // Create a new empty array.
a[5] = 5;   // Perfectly legal JavaScript that resizes the array.

for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
    // Iterate over numeric indexes from 0 to 5, as everyone expects.
    console.log(a[i]);
}

/* Will display:
   undefined
   undefined
   undefined
   undefined
   undefined
   5
*/

有时可能完全不同:

var a = [];
a[5] = 5;
for (var x in a) {
    // Shows only the explicitly set index of "5", and ignores 0-4
    console.log(x);
}

/* Will display:
   5
*/

还要考虑 JavaScript 库可能会做这样的事情，这会影响您创建的任何数组:

Also consider that JavaScript libraries might do things like this, which will affect any array you create:

// Somewhere deep in your JavaScript library...
Array.prototype.foo = 1;

// Now you have no idea what the below code will do.
var a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
for (var x in a){
    // Now foo is a part of EVERY array and 
    // will show up here as a value of 'x'.
    console.log(x);
}

/* Will display:
   0
   1
   2
   3
   4
   foo
*/
