Launch Into Loops: Overview and Goals

Hello, space explorer! Today, we're diving into JavaScript loops. Loops automate repetitive code. In this lesson, we'll cover two types of loops: for and while, and their usage in creating a dynamic HTML list.

Introduction to JavaScript Loops

Loops are all about repetition. Think about your morning routine of brushing your teeth — back and forth until they are all clean. That's a loop! In JavaScript, there are two types of loops: for and while. Let's get started!

Singularly Stepping into the "for" Loop

In a for loop, you're aware of the loop's iterations. Its syntax includes initialization, condition, and update.

For instance, let's say we want to print numbers from 1 to 5:

Here, we initialize i to 1, ensure i is less than or equal to 5, and increment by after each loop. The loop stops when .
