JavaScript For Loop
Loops in JavaScript are used to execute the same block of code
a specified number of times or while a specified condition is true.

JavaScript Loops
Very 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 (var=startvalue;var<=endvalue;var=var+increment)
{
code to be executed
}

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

The number is 1
The number is 2
The number is 3
The number is 4
The number is 5
The number is 6
The number is 7
The number is 8
The number is 9
The number is 10
