Loops

Most of the activities we do in life are full of repetitions. Imagine if I ask you to print out from 0 to 100 using console.log(). To implement this simple task it may take you 2 to 5 minutes, such kind of tedious and repetitive task can be carried out using loop.

In programming languages to carry out repetitive task we use different kinds of loops. The following examples are the commonly used loops in JavaScript and other programming languages.

for Loop

// For loop structure
for(initialization, condition, increment/decrement){
  // code goes here
}
for(let i = 0; i <= 5; i++){
  console.log(i)
}

// 0 1 2 3 4 5
for(let i = 5; i >= 0; i--){
  console.log(i)
}

// 5 4 3 2 1 0
for(let i = 0; i <= 5; i++){
  console.log(`${i} * ${i} = ${i * i}`)
}
0 * 0 = 0
1 * 1 = 1
2 * 2 = 4
3 * 3 = 9
4 * 4 = 16
5 * 5 = 25
const countries = ['Finland', 'Sweden', 'Denmark', 'Norway', 'Iceland']
const newArr = []
for(let i = 0; i < countries.length; i++){
  newArr.push(countries[i].toUpperCase())
}

// ["FINLAND", "SWEDEN", "DENMARK", "NORWAY", "ICELAND"]

Adding all elements in the array

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
let sum = 0
for(let i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++){
  sum  = sum + numbers[i]  // can be shorten, sum += numbers[i]

}

console.log(sum)  // 15

Creating a new array based on the existing array

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
const newArr = []
let sum = 0
for(let i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++){
  newArr.push(i * i)

}

console.log(newArr)  // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
const countries = ['Finland', 'Sweden', 'Norway', 'Denmark', 'Iceland']
const newArr = []
for(let i = 0; i < countries.length; i++){
  newArr.push(countries[i].toUpperCase())
}

console.log(newArr)  // ["FINLAND", "SWEDEN", "NORWAY", "DENMARK", "ICELAND"]

while loop

let i = 0
while (i <= 5) {
  console.log(i)
  i++
}

// 0 1 2 3 4 5

do while loop

let i = 0
do {
  console.log(i)
  i++
} while (i <= 5)

// 0 1 2 3 4 5

for of loop

We use for of loop for arrays. It is very hand way to iterate through an array if we are not interested in the index of each element in the array.

for (const element of arr) {
  // code goes here
}

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

for (const num of numbers) {
  console.log(num)
}

// 1 2 3 4 5

for (const num of numbers) {
  console.log(num * num)
}

// 1 4 9 16 25

// adding all the numbers in the array
let sum = 0
for (const num of numbers) {
  sum += sum + num  // can be also shorten like this, sum += num
}
console.log(sum) // 15

const webTechs = [
  'HTML',
  'CSS',
  'JavaScript',
  'React',
  'Redux',
  'Node',
  'MongoDB'
]

for (const tech of webTechs) {
  console.log(tech.toUpperCase())
}

// HTML CSS JAVASCRIPT REACT NODE MONGODB

for (const tech of webTechs) {
  console.log(tech[0]) // get only the first letter of each element,  H C J R N M
}

const countries = ['Finland', 'Sweden', 'Norway', 'Denmark', 'Iceland']
const newArr = []
for(const country of countries){
  newArr.push(country.toUpperCase())
}

console.log(newArr)  // ["FINLAND", "SWEDEN", "NORWAY", "DENMARK", "ICELAND"]

break

Break is used to interrupt a loop.

for(let i = 0; i <= 5; i++){
  if(i == 3){
    break
  }
  console.log(i)
}

// 0 1 2

The above code stops if 3 found in the iteration process.

continue

We use the keyword continue to skip a certain iterations.

for(let i = 0; i <= 5; i++){
  if(i == 3){
    continue
  }
  console.log(i)
}

// 0 1 2 4 5
