 A common task in JavaScript is to iterate through the contents of an array. One way to do that is with a <code>for</code> loop. This code will output each element of the array <code>arr</code> to the console:
 
 ```js
-var arr = [10,9,8,7,6];
+var arr = [10, 9, 8, 7, 6];
 for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    console.log(arr[i]);
 }
