Using a for loop to populate an array with objects

I have a function that takes an array, consisting of 3 sets of strings. For each set of strings, the function should spit out 2 resulting integers/numbers.

Link to the jsfiddle of work in progress So if the input is

["10:00AM-12:30PM","02:00PM-02:45PM","09:10AM-09:50AM"]

I'm trying to get the function, by using a for-loop, to spit out 2 minute counts for each element of the array (a total of 6 minute counts, 2 per string).

I'm thinking I need the results stored in an object? Or maybe an array, consisting of objects? I'm a little bit confused here.

I'm confused as to how to organize it so that whatever is returned from the function, I can easily access it.

So maybe an array of 3 objects is returned is the best way to do it, with each object consisting of:

1st identifier key: an identifier of some sort (perhaps using the [i] from the for loop),
2nd key/property time1min: with the value being time1min (which is the 1st minute count),
3rd property time2min: with the value being time2min for that string.

As you can see from my jsfiddle above, I'm lost as to how to output to an object, or to an array of objects.

results is an array; so results[0].time1min Try using console.log(results); instead. It plays nicer than alerts.
