For loop in multidimensional javascript array

Solution 1:

You can do something like this:

var cubes = [
 [1, 2, 3],
 [4, 5, 6],    
 [7, 8, 9],
];

for(var i = 0; i < cubes.length; i++) {
    var cube = cubes[i];
    for(var j = 0; j < cube.length; j++) {
        display("cube[" + i + "][" + j + "] = " + cube[j]);
    }
}

Working jsFiddle:

The output of the above:

cube[0][0] = 1
cube[0][1] = 2
cube[0][2] = 3
cube[1][0] = 4
cube[1][1] = 5
cube[1][2] = 6
cube[2][0] = 7
cube[2][1] = 8
cube[2][2] = 9

Solution 2:

var cubes = [["string", "string"], ["string", "string"]];

for(var i = 0; i < cubes.length; i++) {
    for(var j = 0; j < cubes[i].length; j++) {
        console.log(cubes[i][j]);
    }
}

Solution 3:

A bit too late, but this solution is nice and neat

const arr = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9,10]]
for (let i of arr) {
  for (let j of i) {
    console.log(j) //Should log numbers from 1 to 10
  }
}

Or in your case:

const arr = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]
for (let [d1, d2, d3] of arr) {
  console.log(`${d1}, ${d2}, ${d3}`) //Should return numbers from 1 to 9
}

Note: for ... of loop is standardised in ES6, so only use this if you have an ES5 Javascript Complier (such as Babel)

Another note: There are alternatives, but they have some subtle differences and behaviours, such as forEach(), for...in, for...of and traditional for(). It depends on your case to decide which one to use. (ES6 also has .map(), .filter(), .find(), .reduce())
