Populating another array from array - Javascript

Question

Very simple thing I am trying to do in JS (assign the values of one array to another), but somehow the array bar\'s value doesn\'t seem affected at all.

Your code isn't working because you are not initializing bar:

var bar = [];

You also forgot to declare your i variable, which can be problematic, for example if the code is inside a function, i will end up being a global variable (always use var :).

But, you can avoid the loop, simply by using the slice method to create a copy of your first array:

var arr = ["apple","banana","canaple"];
var bar = arr.slice();
