But what actually makes them “harmful”? Nothing.

Hello.
I’m Spanish
I speak little English
My code based on forEach.

Array.prototype.for_each= function(f,obj){

var lg = this.length;
var temp = this;
if(lg “);
if(element.email == “bkn3@columbia.edu”) array[index].email = “brad@columbia.edu” ;

}

var contacts = new Array();
contacts["_Jim Jones"] = {name: “Jim Jones”, email: “jim@gmail.com”};
contacts["_Brad Neuberg"] = {name: “Brad Neuberg”, email: “bkn3@columbia.edu”};

contacts.for_each(write_contacts);
contacts.for_each(write_contacts);

function write_number(element,index, array){
document.write(”[" + index + "] = ” + element + “”);
}

var number = ["zero","one","two"];
number.for_each(write_number);

Good bye.

Irfan: Using Brad’s contacts array:

contact.sort(function(c1, c2) {
if (c1.email < c2.email) {
return -1;
}
if (c1.email > c2.email) {
return 1;
}
return 0;
});

The ECMAScript standards says that the order is not guaranteed but all implementations do guarantee the order.
