// console.log("Hello World"); // [Section] While Loop /* - A while loop takes in an expression/condition - Expressions are any unit of code that can be evaluated to a value - If the condition evaluates to true, the statements inside the code block will be executed - A statement is a command that the programmer gives to the computer - A loop will iterate a certain number of times until an expression/condition is met - "Iteration" is the term given to the repetition of statements - Syntax while(expression/condition) { statement } */ let count = 5; // While the value of count is not equal to 0 while(count !== 0) { // The current value of count is printed out console.log("While: " + count); // Decreases the value of count by 1 after every iteration to stop the loop when it reaches 0 // Loops occupy a significant amount of memory space in our devices // Make sure that expressions/conditions in loops have their corresponding increment/decrement operators to stop the loop // Forgetting to include this in loops will make our applications run an infinite loop which will eventually crash our devices // After running the script, if a slow response from the browser is experienced or an infinite loop is seen in the console quickly close the application/browser/tab to avoid this count--; } // [Section] Do While Loop /* - A do-while loop works a lot like the while loop. But unlike while loops, do-while loops guarantee that the code will be executed at least once. - Syntax do { statement } while (expression/condition) */ /* - The "Number" function works similarly to the "parseInt" function - Both differ significantly in terms of the processes they undertake in converting information into a number data type and other features that help with manipulating data - The "prompt" function creates a pop-up message in the browser that can be used to gather user input - How the Do While Loop works: 1. The statements in the "do" block executes once 2. The message "Do While: " + number will be printed out in the console 3. After executing once, the while statement will evaluate whether to run the next iteration of the loop based on given expression/condition (e.g. number less than 10) 4. If the expression/condition is not true, another iteration of the loop will be executed and will be repeated until the condition is met 5. If the expression/condition is true, the loop will stop */ // let number = Number(prompt("Give me a number")); // do { // // The current value of number is printed out // console.log("Do While: " + number); // // Increases the value of number by 1 after every iteration to stop the loop when it reaches 10 or greater // // number = number + 1 // number += 1; // // Providing a number of 10 or greater will run the code block once and will stop the loop // } while (number < 10) // [Section] For Loop /* - A for loop is more flexible than while and do-while loops. It consists of three parts: 1. The "initialization" value that will track the progression of the loop. 2. The "expression/condition" that will be evaluated which will determine whether the loop will run one more time. 3. The "finalExpression" indicates how to advance the loop. - Syntax for (initialization; expression/condition; finalExpression) { statement } */ /* - Will create a loop that will start from 0 and end at 20 - Every iteration of the loop, the value of count will be checked if it is equal or less than 20 - If the value of count is less than or equal to 20 the statement inside of the loop will execute - The value of count will be incremented by one for each iteration */ for (let count = 0; count <= 20; count++) { // The current value of count is printed out console.log(count); } // for (let count = 0; count >= -20; count--) { // console.log(count); // } let myString = "alex"; console.log(myString.length); // Accessing index number console.log(myString[0]); console.log(myString[1]); console.log(myString[2]); for(let x = 0; x < myString.length; x++) { console.log(myString[x]) } let myName = "AlEx"; for (let i=0; i < myName.length; i++) { if ( myName[i].toLowerCase() == "a" || myName[i].toLowerCase() == "i" || myName[i].toLowerCase() == "u" || myName[i].toLowerCase() == "e" || myName[i].toLowerCase() == "o" ){ // If the letter in the name is a vowel, it will print the number 3 console.log(3); } else { // Print in the console all non-vowel characters in the name console.log(myName[i]) } } // [SECTION] Continue and Break statements for (let count = 0; count <= 20; count++) { // if remainder is equal to 0 if (count % 2 === 0) { // Tells the code to continue to the next iteration of the loop // This ignores all statements located after the continue statement; continue; } // The current value of number is printed out if the remainder is not equal to 0 console.log("Continue and Break: " + count); // If the current value of count is greater than 10 if (count > 10) { // Tells the code to terminate/stop the loop even if the expression/condition of the loop defines that it should execue so long as the value of count is less than or equal to 20 // number values after 10 will no longer be printed break; } } let name = "alexandro"; for (let i = 0; i < name.length; i++) { console.log(name[i]); if (name[i].toLowerCase() === "a") { console.log("Continue to the next iteration"); continue; } if (name[i] == "d") { break; } }
