I have the following:
var tempList = []
// or
var tempList = new Array()
when I test what it is, it returns an object. How can I initialize it as an array and why is this weird error occurring?
console.log(typeof tempList); // object

If you want an array, then initialize by -- var tempList = new Array(); What you have done, creates a new object only. – T.Shah May 30 '16 at 10:22

I am still getting object?? – JohnAndrews May 30 '16 at 10:52

Maybe it has to be said that I am trying to add objects into the array. Could that be an issue? – JohnAndrews May 30 '16 at 10:57

Actually http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_arrays.asp , says what I said is wrong and what you did initially was correct. So revert back. Does this 'typeof ' thing really matter? – T.Shah May 30 '16 at 11:17

Yes cause the function .push() does not work.. which only holds for arrays. – JohnAndrews May 30 '16 at 11:19

edit the question and share a little more of the code that causes error. – T.Shah May 30 '16 at 11:35
