Chapter 06 - arrays named "values" about thejsway HOT 2 CLOSED

Sorry for answering late and thanks for reporting this.

However, both code samples work fine in my context and unless I'm mistaken, values is a valid variable name in JavaScript. Could you please be more specific about your JS test environment ?

from thejsway.

My apologies, I should have tried different environments/specified. I was using the browser's inbuilt Console (via Inspect), but turns out this is a Firefox issue (tested on 103.0 as well as the version before it), see screenshot.
Not reproduced in Chrome or Edge, and the page the "Learn More" link leads to does say "V8 based, Firefox and Safari": https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Errors/Not_a_function

Edit to add: The same behaviour can be observed by naming the array "keys". Will throw a TypeError in Firefox.

Final edit: This error also does not occur when writing this code in a .js file, linking it to an HTML file and opening that in Firefox. Only when entering it directly into the console.
