Answer 1

the following code will help u to convert a comma separated string into an array,

var string = "1,2,3,4,5";
var array = string.split(","); // string to array conversion
function takesArray(a) { // taking an array as parameter
 console.log(a);
}
takesArray(array); // passing array as argument

Answer 2

use Array.forEach

var a = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
a.forEach(function(element) {
 console.log(element);
});
// a
// b
// c

or Array.map var a = ['a', 'b', 'c'];

a.map(function(element) {
 console.log(element);
});
// a
// b
// c

console.log() will print value into developers tools console (on chrome hit F12)
