How do I get my full array to print after putting it in a loop to add 5 to all of my values?

Question

I just started learning arrays in school today and I am trying to add 5 to all of my values in my array. In the console log all of the values are being added with 5 but then when it come to printing the values outside the loop in the console log it prints the original values from the array.

var myArray = [];
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));
appendItem(myArray, randomNumber(1,10));

console.log("Before: " + myArray);

var myNewArray = (myArray[i]);


for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
  //var myNewArray = myArray;

  myNewArray = (myArray[i]+5);
  //console.log(myArray[i]+5);
  console.log(myNewArray);

  //console.log("After: " + myArray);
}


console.log("After: " + myNewArray);

Reassign the new value to that array and then after reassigning all, loop through it again, printing each one. Or you can just print the entire array

for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
  myArray[i] = myArray[i] + 5; //i am reassigning the new value here
}

//console.log(myArray); //printing the entire array here

for(var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++){
  console.log("After: " + myArray[i]);
}
