javascript - Using name inside a Array yields different results in Firefox -

this question has answer here:

• why arrays stored variable “name” in chrome convert strings? [duplicate] 1 answer

i little guidance here. using js bin this. whole issue here : "name" when used var , inside array: ---the console.log prints each letter:

var word = "hi"; var name = ["john","suzette","mari-louise","tinus","hendrik","koos","elna","elbie"]; // greeting greeter(word,name);  function greeter(str,arr){  var counter;   for(counter = 0;     counter < arr.length;     counter++) {     console.log(str + " " + arr[counter]);     }    } 

output

"hi j" "hi o" "hi h" "hi n" "hi ," "hi s" "hi u" 

however, changing var username, yields correct result,..i cant find reference 'name' being reserved word in js, if clarify me, smashing.

var word = "hi"; var username = ["john","suzette","mari-louise","tinus","hendrik","koos","elna","elbie"]; // greeting greeter(word,username);  function greeter(str,arr){  var counter;   for(counter = 0;    counter < arr.length;    counter++) {    console.log(str + " " + arr[counter]);     }    } 

result**

"hi john" "hi suzette" "hi mari-louise" "hi tinus" "hi hendrik" "hi koos" "hi elna" "hi elbie" 

if debug, notice name defined time execute code. happens because global window context has name property string.
when try set ["a", "b", "c"] property, browser converts string, , becomes "a,b,c". that's why when iterate through it, characters.

console.log(name); // exists    var name = ["a", "b", "c"]; // assigns window.name property, becomes string  var nameqwe = ["a", "b", "c"]; // creates local variable    console.log(name);  console.log(nameqwe);
