ForObject

ForObject is a programming construct primarily found in some object-oriented programming languages that facilitates iterating over the elements of an object. Unlike a traditional for loop that iterates over a sequence like a list or array using an index or iterator, a ForObject loop is designed to traverse the properties or members of an object.

The specific syntax and behavior of a ForObject loop can vary significantly depending on the language. In languages like JavaScript, for example, the `for...in` loop is a common implementation. This loop iterates over the enumerable properties of an object, including inherited ones. Each iteration assigns the name of a property to a loop variable. Developers can then use this property name to access the corresponding value within the object.

Other languages might offer different variations or entirely different constructs for iterating over object members. The core purpose remains the same: to provide a convenient way to access and process each component of an object's internal structure without needing to manually manage indices or iterators for each potential member. This can be particularly useful for tasks such as serialization, data inspection, or applying operations to all properties of an object. The exact nature of what constitutes an "element" of an object for the purpose of a ForObject loop is determined by the language's definition of object properties and their enumerability.
