JavaScript for loop

The cycle can execute a block of code a specified number of times.


JavaScript cycle

If you want to run over and over again the same code, and each of the values ​​are different, then the use of the cycle is very convenient.

We can output an array of values:

General wording:

document.write(cars[0] + "<br>");
document.write(cars[1] + "<br>");
document.write(cars[2] + "<br>");
document.write(cars[3] + "<br>");
document.write(cars[4] + "<br>");
document.write(cars[5] + "<br>");

Using for loop

for (var i=0;i<cars.length;i++)
{
    document.write(cars[i] + "<br>");
}

try it"


Different types of cycle

JavaScript support different types of loops:

  • for - a certain number of cycles code block
  • for / in - loop through the properties of an object
  • while - when a specified condition is true cycle specified block of code
  • do / while - also when the specified condition is true cycle specified block of code

For loop

for loop is that you want to create a loop often used tool.

Here is the syntax for loop:

for (语句 1; 语句 2; 语句 3)
{
被执行的代码块
}

Statement 1 (block) starts before you begin.

Statement 2 defines the operating cycle (block) conditions

3 statement after the loop (block) has been doing

Examples

for (var i=0; i<5; i++)
{
    x=x + "该数字为 " + i + "<br>";
}

try it"

From the example above, you can see:

Statement 1 set the variable before the loop starts (var i = 0).

Statement 2 defined conditions Cycle run (i must be less than 5).

Statement 3 increased by a value (i ++) after each block of code has been executed.


Statement 1

Normally we would use a statement to initialize the variables used in the cycle (var i = 0).

1 statement is optional, that is not used can also be a statement.

You can initialize any statement 1 (or more) values:

Example:

for (var i=0,len=cars.length; i<len; i++)
{
document.write(cars[i] + "<br>");
}

try it"

And you can also omit a statement (such as in the beginning of the loop has been set value):

Example:

var i=2,len=cars.length;
for (; i<len; i++)
{
document.write(cars[i] + "<br>");
}

try it"


Statement 2

Statement 2 conditions generally used to assess the initial variables.

2 The same statement is optional.

2 If the statement returns true, then the cycle starts again if it returns false, the loop will end.

lamp If you omit the statement 2, it must provide a break in the cycle. Otherwise, the cycle will not be able to stop. This makes it possible to make the browser to crash. Please read about the break in a later section of this tutorial.


Statement 3

3 statements generally increases the value of the original variable.

Statement 3 is also optional.

Statement 3 has a variety of uses. Increment can be negative (i--), or more (i = i + 15).

Statement 3 may be omitted (eg inside the loop when there is a corresponding code):

Example:

var i=0,len=cars.length;
for (; i<len; )
{
document.write(cars[i] + "<br>");
i++;
}

try it"


For / In cycle

JavaScript for / in statement to loop through object properties:

Examples

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

for (x in person)
{
    txt=txt + person[x];
}

try it"

You will learn more about in the section on JavaScript for object / in the knowledge cycle.


While loop

We will explain to you while loop and do / while loop in the next chapter.
