Ah yes! Thank you serapath, I figured it out from what you said (and I really was being stupid!) To clarify for anyone reading:
the loop kicks off the callbacks, but they don't actually get executed until the loop has finished. By that point i is 3, and because it is effectively globally scoped, this is the value that is used by *all* of the callbacks in the loop. The solution is to create a local scope for i. Thanks for the feedback guys, and sorry again for the dumb question. By the way, is 'a local scope for i' the same as 'a closure' ? I was under the impression these two things were not the same...? -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
