javascript While Loop
While loop will execute a code block if the statement is true.
var i=0;
var sum=0;
while (i < 10)
{
sum += i;
i++;
}
alert(sum); //55
Do while loop will execute the code block one time before check whether the statement is true.
And then execute the code block till the statement is false.
var i=0;
var sum=0;
do
{
sum += i;
i++;
}
while (i < 10)
Use
break to jump out of the loop:
var i=0;
var sum=0;
while (i < 10)
{
sum += i;
if (i == 4) break;
i++;
}
alert(i); //4
alert(sum); //0+1+2+3+4=10
Use
continue to skip 1 step of the loop:
var i=0;
var sum=0;
while (i < 10)
{
i++;
if (i == 4) continue;
else
sum += i;
}
alert(i); //10
alert(sum); //51
We must put i++ before the if statement, otherwise, if the i
is not increased, the while loop will keep running forever till
the browser collapse.
