14,385 PointsWhen you write students[i]. The i inside the bracket represents a number in your loop. If your write
students[0]; // represent first value in the array
students[1]; // second
students[2]; // and third
The i variable increases for every loop iteration.

4,527 PointsBecause students[i] is saying get the array value of students[whatever number i is], and returns an array value. If you want to print out the value of i, just do console.log(i);
