Javascript Tutorials ( Class 7 of Javascript )

Javascript Loops




JavaScript For Loop

Loops execute a block of code a specified number of times, or while a specified condition is true.

JavaScript Loops

Often when you write code, you want the same block of code to run over and over again in a row. Instead of adding several almost equal lines in a script we can use loops to perform a task like this.
In JavaScript, there are two different kind of loops:
  • for - loops through a block of code a specified number of times
  • while - loops through a block of code while a specified condition is true

The for Loop

The for loop is used when you know in advance how many times the script should run.

Syntax

for (variable=startvalue;variable<=endvalue;variable=variable+increment)
{
code to be executed
}

Example

The example below defines a loop that starts with i=0. The loop will continue to run as long as i is less than, or equal to 5. i will increase by 1 each time the loop runs.
Note: The increment parameter could also be negative, and the <= could be any comparing statement

Example

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
for (i=0;i<=5;i++)
{
document.write("The number is " + i);
document.write("<br />");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>


Javascript While Loop

Loops execute a block of code a specified number of times, or while a specified condition is true.

The while Loop

The while loop loops through a block of code while a specified condition is true.

Syntax


while (variable<=endvalue)
  {
  code to be executed
  }


Note: The <= could be any comparing operator.

Example

The example below defines a loop that starts with i=0. The loop will continue to run as long as i is less than, or equal to 5. i will increase by 1 each time the loop runs:

Example

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
while (i<=5)
  {
  document.write("The number is " + i);
  document.write("<br />");
  i++;
  }
</script>
</body>
</html>


The do...while Loop

The do...while loop is a variant of the while loop. This loop will execute the block of code ONCE, and then it will repeat the loop as long as the specified condition is true.

Syntax

do
  {
  code to be executed
 
}
while (variable<=endvalue);

Example

The example below uses a do...while loop. The do...while loop will always be executed at least once, even if the condition is false, because the statements are executed before the condition is tested:


Example

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
do
  {
  document.write("The number is " + i);
  document.write("<br />");
  i++;
  }
while (i<=5);
</script>
</body>
</html>



Javascript Break Loop

The break Statement

The break statement will break the loop and continue executing the code that follows after the loop (if any).


Example

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
for (i=0;i<=10;i++)
  {
  if (i==3)
    {
    break;
    }
  document.write("The number is " + i);
  document.write("<br />");
  }
</script>
</body>
</html>


The continue Statement

The continue statement will break the current loop and continue with the next value.

Example

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0
for (i=0;i<=10;i++)
  {
  if (i==3)
    {
    continue;
    }
  document.write("The number is " + i);
  document.write("<br />");
  }
</script>
</body>
</html>


Javascript For in Statement

JavaScript For...In Statement

The for...in statement loops through the properties of an object.

Syntax

for (variable in object)
  {
  code to be executed
  }

Note: The code in the body of the for...in loop is executed once for each property.

Example

Looping through the properties of an object:

Example

var person={fname:"John",lname:"Doe",age:25};

for (x in person)
{
document.write(person[x] + " ");
}
