How to synchronize $.each(); function with called function in it?

Question

I kept one function in $.each() function and sending an array of elements to that function by using $.each() function. But the $.each() function doesn't care about the function and itself running.

Please solve my problem

This is the code

$.each(addrArray, function(i, item) {
    alert(addrArray[i].ActualAddress);
    getLatLang(addrArray[i].ActualAddress, addrArray[i].BusinessEntityID);
   });

no no, the $.each() function doesn't take care about the function which is called in itself. — Edukondalu Thaviti, Aug 21 '15 at 06:09
[Documentation](http://api.jquery.com/jquery.each/) says what..? — user2864740, Aug 21 '15 at 06:10
[*"We can break the `$.each()` loop at a particular iteration by making the callback function return `false`. Returning non-false is the same as a continue statement in a for loop; it will skip immediately to the next iteration."*](http://api.jquery.com/jquery.each/) — Phil, Aug 21 '15 at 06:12
it is not error.. for each and every element the function has to some output but it is not giving...The $.each() function won't wait for that function call... — Edukondalu Thaviti, Aug 21 '15 at 06:12
Ah, I'm guessing `getLatLang` is asynchronous, in that case... — Phil, Aug 21 '15 at 06:14

In that they are saying put setTimeout() function. But i have put that function also. Not getting — Edukondalu Thaviti, Aug 21 '15 at 06:19
what is the` getLang` function doing? is it from some library? — Subash, Aug 21 '15 at 06:39
The getLatLang() function will take address from the array and pass it to the google maps and get latitude, longitude coordinates. — Edukondalu Thaviti, Aug 21 '15 at 06:45

Assuming that you have Ajax call written in getLatLang() function; i will suggest to make that Ajax call synchronous like follows:

$.ajax({
        url: 'your url for getting lat-long',
        type: 'POST',
        data: {your address},
        async: false,
        success: function() {}
      });

Here async: false will do the job. Your program execution will remain in this function till the time you get back your lat-long from server. Once returned from this function; your .each loop will get incremented.
