// Define a function printArrElements(someArr) that will loop through array and print all the elements of that array.

So i had the following task.

"Define a function printArrElements(someArr) that will loop through array and print all the elements of that array. Use the following array to pass it as an argument to the function you’ve just defined:"

I wrote a function that works but in the console i get 2 "undefined" after the console returns all of the elements of the array. 

let ironCities = ["Amsterdam", "Barcelona", "Berlin", "Lisbon", "Madrid", "Mexico City", "Miami", "Paris", "Sao Paulo" ];

function printArrElements(someArr) {
  for (let i = 0; i <= someArr.length; i++) {
    console.log(someArr[i]);
  }
};
console.log(printArrElements(ironCities));

And i got the following result on the console:

"Amsterdam"
"Barcelona"
"Berlin"
"Lisbon"
"Madrid"
"Mexico City"
"Miami"
"Paris"
"Sao Paulo"
undefined
undefined

Why am i getting these two "undefined" in the end?

Thanks for the help

One of your undefined is due to the loop over run. The condition should be i < someArr.length;. I'm not sure of the other.

Chris pointed out the first one. The second is because you are logging a function with no return statement. The default value for this is undefined.

Hello Kris. I consoled logged it directly as when i tried "return someArr[i]". The code would stop as expected, without looping through the rest of the array. So i was getting only the first element of the array. How can i return so i get all of the elements. What kind of sintax issue am i having? Thanks again for helping out..
