## Arrays

slides review\...

`for...of` syntax when looping through an iterable's **values**:

```js
for (let item of collection) {
    // iterating through values,
    // DOES NOT SKIP over undefined/skipped indices
}
```

`for...in` syntax when looping through an iterable's **enumerables**:

```js
for (let index in collection) {
    // iterating through indices,
    // SKIPS over undefined/skipped indices
}
```

## Code Challenge

1. Declare a function named sumInArray that will calculate the sum of all the elements in an array of numbers. You must solve this without using any built-in array methods and iterating through the array.

```js
const sumInArray = (arr) => {
  let sum = 0;
  for (let val of arr) {
    sum += val;
  }
  return sum;
}

// console.log(sumInArray([2,4,5,7,8])) // returns 26
// console.log(sumInArray([2,2,5,10])) // returns 19
// console.log(sumInArray([2,2,2,2,2])) //returns 10
```

2. Declare a function named averageInArray that will calculate the average of the elements in an array of numbers. You must solve this without using any built-in array methods and iterating through the array.

```js
const averageInArray = (arr) => {
  let sum = 0;
  for (let val of arr) {
    sum += val;
  }
  return sum / arr.length;
}

// console.log(averageInArray([2,4,5,7,8])) // returns 5.2
// console.log(averageInArray([2,2,5,10])) // returns 4.75
// console.log(averageInArray([2,2,2,2,2])) //returns 2
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://raffycastlee.gitbook.io/marcyannotes/codechallenge-curriculum/unit-2/20241015.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
