Topic Overview

Greetings, Explorer! In this lesson, we will delve into the essential tools of JavaScript loops. Loops in programming simplify and enhance the efficiency of repetitive tasks — much like a coffee maker brewing multiple cups with a single press, they automate the process, ensuring each cup is brewed quickly and consistently. In this lesson, we will explore the universe of looping in JavaScript and gain hands-on experience by applying loops to JavaScript arrays and strings.

Understanding Looping

Imagine listening to your favorite song on repeat. That's the concept of loops in programming. For instance, we can use a for loop to print greetings for a group of friends.

Loops enable us to execute repetitive sequences automatically and efficiently.

For Loop in JavaScript

The for loop is a control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly.

The structure of a for loop is typically for (initialization; condition; iteration) { loop body }, where the loop body gets executed for as long as the evaluates to true. After each loop, the is executed, which generally updates the value of the loop control variable. Here is how it generally works:
