length property should not be omitted for the array in a loop condition

• MISSING_LENGTH_IN_LOOP_CONDITION
• Error

This rule applies when the length property is missing in the loop condition expression.

When an index variable is used to iterate through array elements, it is necessary to compare it with the length property of the array in the loop condition.

If the length property is omitted by mistake, the array itself is compared and the loop will not be executed at all.

Noncompliant Code Example

for (let i = 0; i < array; i++) { // MISSING_LENGTH_IN_LOOP_CONDITION alarm
  array[i] = i;
}

Compliant Code Example

for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
  array[i] = i;
}
