JavaScript While 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.
Examples
While loop
How to write a while loop. Use a while loop to run the
same block of code while a specified condition is true.
Do while loop
How to write a do...while loop. Use a do...while loop to run the same block of
code while a specified condition is true. This loop will always be executed at
least once,
even if the condition is false, because the statements are executed before the
condition is tested.
The while loop
The while loop is used when you want the loop to execute and continue
executing while the specified condition is true.
while (var<=endvalue)
{
code to be executed
}
|
Note: The <=
could be any comparing statement.
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.
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
while (i<=10)
{
document.write("The number is " + i);
document.write("<br />");
i=i+1;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
|
Result
The number is 0
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

The do...while Loop
The do...while loop is a variant of the while loop. This loop will
always execute a block of code ONCE, and then it will
repeat the loop as long as the specified condition is true. This loop will
always be executed at least once, even if the condition is false, because the code is
executed before the condition is tested.
do
{
code to be executed
}
while (var<=endvalue);

Example
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
do
{
document.write("The number is " + i);
document.write("<br />");
i=i+1;
}
while (i<0);
</script>
</body>
</html>
