Looping
Very often when you write code, you want the same block of code to run a number of times. You can use looping statements in your code to do this.
In JavaScript we have the following looping statements:
- while – loops through a block of code while a condition is true
- do…while – loops through a block of code once, and then repeats the loop while a condition is true
- for – run statements a specified number of times
while
The while statement will execute a block of code while a condition is true..
while (condition) { code to be executed } do...while The do...while statement will execute a block of code once, and then it will repeat the loop while a condition is true do { code to be executed } while (condition)
for
The for statement will execute a block of code a specified number of times
for (initialization; condition; increment) { code to be executed } |
