I’ve got an array made up of function names:
```auto
Gz = [Waterpump, Cyclotron, Conveyor, BoxDance, Tumblers, Giza, Lunar, Luxor, Trapeze, Sticks, Plus3, Bowtie, FourWalls, SquarePeg, Clockwork, Atomic, Batman, Robin, PolloLoco, Flo, Daddio, FourEyes, Spike, Wiperbot, Bloopy, Grimbot, PieFace];
print(Gz);
```
When I print out the contents of Gz[] it prints “function Waterpump(), function Cyclotron()…”
How would I print a list of the function names without the “function” preceding the name and the “()” following the name?
Here’s a link to an editor with the rest of the sketch: [https://editor.p5js.org/cottonchipper/sketches/zQ6JGhVIz](https://editor.p5js.org/cottonchipper/sketches/zQ6JGhVIz)

print(functNames);

- `for (const funct of Gz) print(funct.name);`
- `for (const { name } of Gz) print(name);`
