While Loop
The while
loop is a type of loop that allows you to repeat a block of code as long as a specified condition is true
. The syntax of a while
loop in JavaScript is:
The loop will continue to run as long as the condition
is true
. Once the condition
becomes false
, the loop will exit, and the program will move on to the next line of code.
Here's an example of a simple while
loop that counts from 1 to 5:
In this example, the loop will run as long as count
is less than or equal to 5
. The console.log()
statement inside the loop will print the current value of count
, and then count
will be incremented by 1
using the count++
statement.
The output of this code will be:
It's important to be careful when using a while
loop, as it can potentially result in an infinite loop. An infinite loop is a loop that never exits because the condition is always true
. This can cause your program to crash or become unresponsive. To avoid infinite loops, always make sure that the condition in your while
loop eventually becomes false
.
In the exercises below, you'll practice using the while
loop.
You can see a while
loop with numbers from 1 to 10. Your mission is to use the console.log()
method to print the even numbers.
