JavaScript Iterables


Iterables are iterable objects (like Arrays).
Iterables can be accessed with simple and efficient code.
Iterables can be iterated over with for..of loops

The For Of Loop
The JavaScript for..of statement loops
through the elements of an iterable object.

Syntax

for (variable of iterable) {
  // code block to be executed
}


Iterating
Iterating is easy to understand.
It simply means looping over a sequence of elements.
Here are some easy examples:

Iterating over a String
Iterating over an Array


Iterating Over a String
You can use a for..of loop to iterate over the elements of a string:

}

Sets and Maps are covered in the next chapters.

Iterating Over a Map
You can use a for..of loop to iterate over the elements of a Map:

Example

const fruits = new Map([
  ["apples", 500],
  ["bananas", 300],
  ["oranges", 200]
]);

for (const x of fruits) {
