I am currently working on javascript function but these programe make me little bit confuse kindly please explain whole about the program given below, confusing towards for loop decrement.

var socialMediaIcon = {
    facebook: "http://facebook.com/haseebjumani",
    Twitter: "http://twitter.com/haseebjumani",
    whatsapp: "http://whatsapp.com/",
    flickr: "http://flicker.com/haseebjumani"
}

var social = function() {
    var output = '<ul>',
    myList = document.querySelectorAll(".social-media");

    for (var key in arguments[0]) {
        output += '<li><a href="'+ socialMediaIcon[key] + '">' + 
        '<img src="images/' + key + '.png" alt="icon for' + key + '">' + '</a></li>';        
    }

    output += '</ul>';
   
        for(var i = myList.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
        myList[i].innerHTML = output;
    };
    

}(socialMediaIcon);

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
    <title>Social Media Icons</title>
</head>
<body>
    
    <nav class="social-media">g</nav>

The problem here is that <nav class="social-media"></nav> is used twice over here. So when you reach at this point of code for(var i = myList.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) it starts looking for myList in code which you have defined as myList = document.querySelectorAll(".social-media"); If you have a close look in your for loop initialisation you will find follwing:

for(var i = myList.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)

First Iteration:

var i = myList.length - 1 /* 1 in this case */ 

now i >= 0  sets as True 

then you will see social icons on later .social-media as index in for loop is set as 1

Second Iteration:

var i = i-- /* here value of i is set to 0 */

now i >= 0 also sets to True

then you will seel social icons on first .social-media as index in for loop is set as 0

Other method if you want to use i++

Please initialisation your for loop as :

for(var i = 0; i <myList.length; i++)
