for (var x in object) giving x = System.Collections.DictionaryEntry

Question

So i have an object called listOfStuff, to which i add variables through

 function storeNew(item,value){
     listOfStuff[item] = value;
 }

then i have a loop function:

    function listData(){
             for(var x in listOfStuff){
                 Debug.Log(x + "is worth" + listOfStuff[x]);
                 }
     }

which should write all the data added to the object, so

 storeNew("banana",2);
 storeNew("diamond",1000);
 showData;
 //should result in: 
 //"banana is worth 2"
 //"diamond is worth 1000"

this only logs System.Collections.DictionaryEntry, why is that?

Okay so I don't really use unityscript any more and hadn't realized the meaning of the syntax but on a second look (and from the name of the error!) I'm guessing it is the unityscript equivalent of a C# dictionary so ~hopefully~ the following might work:

 var listOfstuff = {};
 
 function Start () {
     listOfstuff["test"] = 1;
     listOfstuff["test2"] = 2;
     
     for(var entry in listOfstuff){
         Debug.Log(String.Format("{0} is worth {1}", entry.Key, entry.Value));
     }
 }

so basically the important part is that to get teh first part you use entry.Key and the second part entry.Value!

Hope that helps, sorry for my rather sarky comment, I was definitely in the wrong :)
