Sure, lets say we have an object.

let obj = {
   name: 'FirstObject',
   value: 'Object',
   length: 3
}

for (item in obj) {
   console.log(`${item}: ${obj[item]}`);
}

We say for each "item" (this can be any name) in obj (name of the obj you want to access) and then to access the property and property values we use "item" (the name given before) to access the property and obj[item] to access the property value.

Hi! I've figured how to list all the properties of an object in an array. For example, we have 2 students with their own set of properties and we want to see their values.

var students = [ { name : "Mike", track: "track-a", achievements: 23, points : 400, },

{ name : "james", track: "track-a", achievements: 2, points : 21, },
]

students.forEach(myFunction);

function myFunction (item, index) {

for( var key in item ) { console.log(item[key]) } }

let obj = [{
   name: 'FirstObject',
   type: 'Object',
   length: 3
},
{
   name: 'SecondObject',
   type: 'Object',
   length: 5
}];

obj.forEach(function(currentObj) {
   for (item in currentObj) {
      console.log(`${item}: ${currentObj[item]}`);
   }
});

I misunderstood your question, this would do
