09. BASICS | Loops in JavaScript

for loop

Loops a block of code number of times.

for (statement1; statement2; statement3) {
    // code to be executed
}

• statement1 is executed for one time only.

• statement2 is the condition based on which the loop runs (loop body is executed).

• statement3 is executed every time the loop body is executed.

while loop

Loops a block of code based on a specific condition.

while (condition) {
    // code to be executed
}

do - while loop

while loop variant which runs atleast once.

do {
    // code to be executed   ==> executed atleast once
} while (condition)

break and continue

The break statement immediately terminates the current loop or switch statement and transfers control to the statement following the terminated one. It is commonly used when a specific condition is met and there is no need to continue with the remaining iterations or cases.

The continue statement skips the current iteration of a loop and moves directly to the next one, without terminating the loop entirely.
