# Prototype Enumerable each() Method

This method is the cornerstone of Enumerable. It lets you iterate over all the elements in a generic fashion, then returns the Enumerable, thereby allowing chain-calling.

The optional context parameter is what the iterator function will be bound to. If used, the this keyword inside the iterator will point to the object given by the argument.

## Syntax:

    Iterator.find([context]);

## Return Value :

- Returns an enumerable element

## Example:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Prototype examples</title>
    <script type="text/javascript"
       src="/javascript/prototype.js">
    </script>

    <script>

    function showResult(){
       ['one', 'two', 'three'].each(function(s) {
         alert("First loop : " + s);
       });

       [ 'hello', 'world'].each(function(s, index) {
         alert("Second Loop : " +  index + ': ' + s);
       });
    }

    </script>
    </head>

    <body>

      <p>Click the button to see the result.</p>
      <br />
      <br />
      <input type="button" value="Result" onclick="showResult();"/>

    </body>
    </html>

To understand it in better way you can Try it yourself.
