I have two dimensional array which contain element in format Name,Number. i want to convert Number part to integer

var iTicketTypeCount = [];
var sTicketTypeCount = saResponse[5].split(',');
while (sTicketTypeCount[0]) {
 iTicketTypeCount.push(sTicketTypeCount.splice(0, 2));
}

My iTicketTypeCount contains 

[['Firefox', '45'],['IE', '26'],['Safari', '5'],['Opera', '6'],['Others', '7']]

and i want it like 

[['Firefox', 45],['IE', 26],['Safari', 5],['Opera', 6],['Others', 7]]

Only the second element should get converted into integer.

Easiest imo would be using Array.map() 

var arr = [['Firefox', '45'],['IE', '26'],['Safari', '5'],['Opera', '6'],['Others', '7']];
arr = arr.map(function(x) {
 return [x[0], Number(x[1])];
});

Not that performance is likely to be a concern here, but I'm curious about the advantages of map versus iterating and parsing. Is the mapped function called each time that element is accessed, or is its result stored?
map() simply gives you a chance to process each element in an array conveniently. The plus is that this iteration is done in native code - unlike a loop we write.

You can use the parseInt function to simply convert this:

$.each(arry, function(i, elem) {
 arry[i] = [elem[0], parseInt(elem[1])];
});

var iTicketTypeCount = [];
var sTicketTypeCount = saResponse[5].split(',');
while (sTicketTypeCount[0]) {
 sTicketTypeCount[1] = Number(sTicketTypeCount[1]);
 iTicketTypeCount.push(sTicketTypeCount.splice(0, 2));
}

You could do it without using another function.

Try $.each()

var arr = [['Firefox', '45'],['IE', '26'],['Safari', '5'],['Opera', '6'],['Others', '7']]
$.each(arr, function(idx, value){
 value[1] = +value[1]
})

Demo: Fiddle
