push assoc array into an array

Question

How to assign object into an array within a loop?

My progress so far

item = [];

$.each(result, function(){
    //loop and assign array into an array
    //result is an object
    //result.a
    //result.b
});

Expected final result

item = [
    {'a': a},
    {'b': b },
    .....
]

What is in result, and how does that relate to what goes into item? — Barmar

@Barmar result is an object. loop through it and assign every of its result.a and result.b into item array. — John St

I'm not sure why you would want an array like that. If each object has a different property, how will you access them? — Barmar

@Barmar result.a will returned the value of 'a', and can't that be inserted into item[{'a':result.a}] ? — John St

I mean how will you know what property to use when accessing item[n]? How do you know it's item[0].a and item[1].b? — Barmar

var item = [];

$.each(result, function(key, value) {
    var newobj = {};
    newobj[key] = value;
    item.push(newobj);
}
