JavaScript performs several types of repetitive operations, called "looping" In JavaScript Loops are used to execute the same block of code a specified number of times or while a specified condition is true or false
There are different types of loops used in JavaScript
- for loop
- while loop
- do-while loop
- for-in loop
for loop :
The for loop is used when user know in advance how many times loop should be run, and it also iterates the elements for the fixed number of times mostly,
Syntax
for ( initialization; condition; increment)
{
javascript code to be executed
}
initialization is executed before the loop (the code block) starts
condition condition defines for running the loop (the code block)
increment is executed each time after the loop (the code block) has been executed.
Example :
<html>
<body>
<script>
for (i=0; i<=5; i++)
{
document.write("The number is " + i)
document.write("<br />")
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output:
The number is 0 The number is 1 The number is 2 The number is 3 The number is 4 The number is 5
While loop :
The purpose of a while loop is used when you want the loop to continue until a certain condition becomes true. the while loop is another commonly loop used after the For loop.
Syntax
while (condition)
{
javascript code to be executed
}
Example :
<html>
<head>
<script>
var i=10;
while ( i<=15 )
{
document.write("The number is " + i )
document.write("<br />")
i++
}
</script>
<head>
<html>
Output :
The number is 10 The number is 11 The number is 12 The number is 13 The number is 14 The number is 15
Do while loop :
The do while loop is similar to the while loop but here the condition check at the end of the loop, this loop will execute the block of code once, before checking if the condition is true or false,
Syntax
do {
javascript code to be executed
}
while (condition);
Example :
<html>
<head>
<script>
var i=19;
do
{
document.write("The number is" +i);
document.write("<br/>");
i++;
}
while (i<=25);
</script>
<head>
<html>
Output :
The number is19 The number is20 The number is21 The number is22 The number is23 The number is24 The number is25
for-in loop :
The for..in loop iterates over the enumerable properties of an object, in arbitrary order. For each distinct property, statements can be executed.
Syntax
for (variable in object) {...
}
variable- A different type property name is assigned to variable on each iteration.
object - A object whose enumerable properties iterated.
