In JavaScript, whenever I name the array variable as "name", the result prints the wrong number. I am wondering why this is happening.
var name = [1, 3, 4];
console.log(name.length);this prints 5 rather than 3.

2`name` is property from the window object. – Ashish Ranjan Jun 05 '18 at 09:30

1`name` is a built-in global on browsers (it's the name of the current window), and it's always a string. Assigning `[1, 2, 3]` to it converts that array to string, resulting in `"1,2,3"`, which does indeed have `.length` equal to 5. – T.J. Crowder Jun 05 '18 at 09:32
