$.range() mentions for...in for arrays

The $.range() page mentions the following:
This function will be super useful when you're dealing with these kinds of for loop:
for (i in array) { ... }
But the MDN explicitly notes that you should not do this:
Note:
for...in
should not be used to iterate over anArray
where the index order is important.
Because the order of iteration is implementation-dependent, iterating over an array may not visit elements in a consistent order. Therefore it is better to use a
for
loop with a numeric index (orArray.prototype.forEach()
or thefor...of
loop) when iterating over arrays where the order of access is important.
Array iteration and for...in
Yes, you are right, but you can use for...of
. But in general cases, for...in
will do the job, even if MDN is saying that you shouldn’t because in some cases, there is a chance to have some weird things happening if you manually set a property to an array.
I know it’s not the best practice, but it’s useful and it works with Babel 😊.
