Hi List,

Kindly consider the following test script:

    var array = ['foo','bar','baz'];
    
    console.log("sequential run");
    console.log("--------------");
    for (var i in array) {
        var item = array[i];
        console.log(item);
    }

    console.log(" ");
    console.log("delayed run");
    console.log("--------------");
    for (var i=0; i < array.length; i++) {
        var item = array[i];
        setTimeout(function() {
            var privateItem = item;
            console.log(privateItem);
        }, 1000*i);
    }

When you run it, the output is:

    sequential run
    --------------
    foo
    bar
    baz
 
    delayed run
    --------------
    baz
    baz
    baz

Why is privateItem changing?

What can I do to work around this problem?
