Javascript Loops

This guide covers JavaScript loops, including for and while loops, as well as the break and continue statements. The for loop is ideal for a known number of iterations, while the while loop is used when the number of iterations is uncertain. The break statement exits the loop immediately, whereas continue skips the current iteration and proceeds to the next.

JavaScript Loops: Comprehensive Guide

Loops in JavaScript are used when you want to repeat a block of code multiple times until a certain
condition is met. This guide explains for, while, break, and continue with examples.

1. for loop
A for loop is best when you know in advance how many times you want to repeat something.
for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
[Link](i);
}

Output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

2. while loop
A while loop is useful when you don’t know in advance how many times the code should run.
let i = 1;
while (i <= 5) {
[Link](i);
i++;
}

Output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

3. break in loops
The break statement is used to stop a loop immediately.
for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
if (i === 3) {
break;
}
[Link](i);
}

Output: 1, 2

4. continue in loops
The continue statement skips the current iteration and jumps to the next one.
for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
if (i === 3) {
continue;
}
[Link](i);
}

Output: 1, 2, 4, 5
Summary
for loop → best when you know how many times to loop. while loop → best when iterations are
unknown, runs until condition is false. break → immediately exits the loop. continue → skips
current iteration, continues with the next.
