In previous postings, I addressed ‘for’ loops. In today’s post, I want to demo ‘while’ loops. In ‘for’ loops, you loop over code for a specified period of time. In ‘while’ loops, you loop over code as long as a condition is true. Â The steps of a ‘while’ loop are…
- Test condition
- Perform action if test returns true
- Repeat step one (1)
Here is the syntax for a ‘while’ loop…
while(this === that){ // test condition
performAction();
}
Note: Make certain you affect the test condition within the ‘while’ loop. Otherwise, you will create an infinite loop.
Happy Coding!
