I'm currently working with Google maps' geocoding and need to create an array that will contain arrays as an elements.
Basically i need to create this:
    var locations = [
      ['Bondi Beach', -33.890542, 151.274856, 4],
      ['Coogee Beach', -33.923036, 151.259052, 5],
      ['Cronulla Beach', -34.028249, 151.157507, 3],
      ['Manly Beach', -33.80010128657071, 151.28747820854187, 2],
      ['Maroubra Beach', -33.950198, 151.259302, 1]
    ];
But dynamically! I need this array to put pins on a map later.
What I'm doing:
        var locations = []; // The initial array
        for (var i = 0; i < addresses.length; ++i){
            var address=addresses[i]; // the address e.g. 15 Main St, Hyannis, MA
            geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address}, function(results){
                var obj = {
                    0: address,
                    1: results[0].geometry.location.hb,
                    2: results[0].geometry.location.ib,
                    3: i
                };
                console.log(obj);
                locations.push(new Array());
                locations[i].push(obj);
            });
        };
        console.log(locations.length);
The problem, question:
I don't see any errors but at the end locations[] array is empty.
Here is a console screen if needed:

This should be all you need:
geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address}, function(results){
            locations.push([
              address,
              results[0].geometry.location.hb,
              results[0].geometry.location.ib,
              i //this is actually going to always be 
                //addresses.length because the callback won't fire
                //until well after the loop has completed. 
                //Is this really a necessary field to have 
                //in your array? if so, you'll need to refactor a bit
            ]);
        });
