This question is confusing  A regular object     doesn t have a length property unless you re intending to make your own function constructor which generates custom objects which do have it   in which case you didn t specify     Meaning  you have to get the  length  by a for  in statement on the object  since length is not set  and increment a counter   I m confused as to why you need the length  Are you manually setting 0 on the object  or are you relying on custom string keys  eg obj  foo      bar    If the latter  again  why the need for length   Edit  1  Why can t you just do this   list      name  john     name  bob        Then iterate over list  The length is already set
