JS Loops

JavaScript Loop Structures

JavaScript loops include for, while, and do-while, with break/continue.

Introduction to JavaScript Loops

Loops are essential in programming for executing a block of code repeatedly. JavaScript provides several loop constructs: for, while, and do-while. Each has unique uses and advantages depending on the scenario.

The 'for' Loop

The for loop is ideal when you know how many times you need to iterate. It consists of three parts: initialization, condition, and increment/decrement.

The 'while' Loop

The while loop is used when the number of iterations is not known beforehand. It continues as long as the specified condition evaluates to true.

The 'do-while' Loop

The do-while loop is similar to the while loop, but it guarantees at least one iteration because the condition is evaluated after the loop body.

Using 'break' and 'continue'

The break statement exits the loop immediately, while the continue statement skips the current iteration and moves to the next one.
