fairly new to Javascript so this may be a simple one to fix but:

I am having an issue with the getkeys() method for dictionaries in Javascript. 

getkeys returns 2 elements and keys.length is 2. All well and good

I get an array of 3 elements 'd' 'o' and 'g'

I understand that dog is really an array of three characters but this is quite frustrating - any thoughts?

if I have a dictionary with 2 
e.g. 

getkeys returns 2 elements  and keys.length is 2. All well and good

if I only have one key 
{
	"dog" : 1,
}
I get an array of 3 elements 'd' 'o' and 'g'
and keys.length comes back as 3

You can typecheck against getting returned a string or number using (typeof === ‘string’ || typeof === ‘number’) and force the value into an array. (Obviously checking for number shouldn’t matter on getkeys since thats an invalid key, but having a library call which checks both is useful)

But yes it would be nice if getkeys() always returned a consistent datatype :)

(stylistically awkward when all you want to do is a for loop but heyho)
