1. Course Introduction: So welcome to the course on Control Flow essential wherein we've been mastering conditions and control flow with the help of JavaScript. My name is Fesil and I'm excited to be your guide as we dive into the fundamental concepts that make your code dynamic and very much responsive. In programming, controlling the flow of your application is really essential, and this course is designed to help you understand how to make decisions and repeat actions effectively in JavaScript. Now, if you're new to programming or looking to solidify your understanding, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of all the concepts that we are going to talk about, and you will also learn about writing clean and logical code that can help you build some amazing projects. Now, here's a sneak peek of what we are going to cover. So we're going to cover if statements wherein we'll be talking about how you can execute certain blocks of the code if certain conditions are met. We'll talk about switch wherein we'll discover a powerful alternative for handling multiple conditions in a neat and organized way. And this is really important. It's something that we'll be doing hands on. And then we are going to talk about loops wherein we are going to cover four loops, wherein we'll talk about the art of iterating through the data with the help of them. We'll also talk about why loops wherein we understand how you can repeat certain actions until a certain condition is met. And by the end of this course, you will have a strong grasp of JavaScript control flow, enabling you to build more interactive and action oriented intelligent applications. So who is this course for? This course is for developers of all levels. So whether you are a beginner, intermediate level developer or someone who is very advanced and who is looking to get a refresher on all these topics, you can happily join in the course and you will have a great time. Also, I don't make use of a lot of presentations. Everything is hands on. I show you things, and then actually see it in action. Okay? So that's how we'll be going about. It's a completely hands on code, so don't worry on that part. So are you ready to take control of your code and create dynamic interactive programs? Let's dive in and start mastering conditions and loops together? 2. Decisions in Action: Mastering If-Else Logic: Hey, what's up, everybody. So it's time that we talk about if statements in JavaScript. So if statement is used to execute a block of code if the specified condition is true. So yes, the center of if statement is the condition that you specify. And depending on the condition, it's decided whether the block of code should be executed or not. Now, why do we need something called as if statement? Now, there will be scenarios wherein you might want to do conditional execution, right? Now, what is conditional execution? Conditional execution, meaning how programs are executed is you have console dot log, you have line one, okay? Line one of code. Okay. And then you have line two of code, okay? So this is not conditional. It is being executed one after the other. Now, let's say I want to execute line one of code only in a certain scenario. And that is where if stattment comes into picture, okay? So I might want to execute or I might not want to execute a line one, depending on whether a certain condition is met. Right? Now, a condition could be, let's say if the temperature is greater than 25, right, or greater than a certain amount, then I would want to show a message to a user that it's hot today, right? So you cannot just print it's hot today. You have to first check the temperature, and if temperature is about a certain threshold, only then you have to show the message. So this is where conditional statement comes into picture, right? This is if is not the only conditional statement that exists, right, but I'll show you how you can make use of I. So you can say if over here, you have the suggestion. If statement, you have ILs as well, right, but we'll stick to if for now. You have to specify condition that evaluates to boolean. So let's say I'll say true over here, o and I'll move line one inside if statement. Now this curly breeze represents a block of code, and within this curly breeze, you can add any number of lines of code. That will be executed if the condition is met. Now if I save this, you'll see line one line two, and if I convert this to falls over here, you will only see line two. So this will never be executed because the condition within the if is false. All right? So that is how if treatment works in a nutshell. Now let us come back to our example where we say, if a temperature is about above a certain threshold, we want to show a message to the user. So for that, I'll need a variable. Okay, so I'll say temperature. Okay. Now, let's say if the temperature is 30, record it today. All right. So I can have E condition over here so I can see if temperature is greater than. Okay? If it's greater than, let's say, 25. Okay. So if it's greater than 25, I wish to print, it's a hot T something like this. All right. So this can go in and over here, this is outside if right? So you can see, or I can just print, have a nice day. Okay. So you can see it's a hot day and have a nice day is being printed now. Okay? If the temperature is 22 over here, then you'll just see have a nice day because it's not a hot day, right? So I don't want to print that. All right? Now, what this means is this block of code is executed if this condition is met, right? Now, there will be scenarios wherein you want to execute some block of code when this condition is not met or this condition is false, and that is where statement comes into picture. Okay? So you have I and then you have s over here. Okay? So I can let us have a variable over here. I'll say it is raining over here. Or let's deal with the same example over here. So I can say it's hot today, and I can say se over here, okay? And you can add over here Console dot Log over here, and I can simply copy this it's not a hot day. Okay? You can see it's not a hot day, have a nice day. And if this is 26 over here, for example, it'll say it's a hot day, have a nice day. All right. So this is an example of Is treatment. Let me give you one more example. We'll pick an example of a rainy day and we'll have a variable is raining over here. Okay? Now, if it's raining, if it's raining, what we need to do is we need to say Console, dot log over here, and I need to say take an umbrella, right? Something like this. Okay. And otherwise, I need to say okay, I need to say no need for an umbrella, right? So yeah, I'll say. No need for an umbrella. I'll save this. So you can see take an umbrella because it's raining and if it's not raining, you can see no need for an umbrella. All right. So pretty straightforward, right? Now, here, what we are doing is we are having two blocks of code that is being executed if this condition is true of all. So this condition is controlling everything over here. So this condition is important. So if you're writing if statement, be sure to have this condition right. Okay. Many people make a mistake that the condition, they don't get it right. Okay? There is some logical error, and then they don't get the right output. So just keep attention to this condition. Now, there is one more form of IL which is if, and then you have if and then you again, have s. So this is also possible. So you can say if over here, you'll see FL statement. All right. Now I can say, I now using this syntax over here, I s if s, you can actually chain multiple conditions, right? So let me show you how, okay? So let's say I have a variable over here called score. Okay? Let's say, I'll assign this a value of 75. Okay? Now, I'll have score over here, ok? So I'll say score I score is greater than equal to 90. Okay. Let's say we want to print something. What are we printing over here? Okay? We want to say excellent. Okay. Now, what actually we are building is we are actually building a condition over here that is going to print different messages depending on what your score is. Okay? Now, let's say I want to have a message that prints good job if your score is above 75, and if it's above 50, you want to say you passed. Otherwise, if it's lesser than 50, better luck next time, something like that. Okay? So I got this. Okay, I got this right. I will print I'll print excellent if the score is greater than 90, okay? Now over here, I want to evaluate one more condition if the score is greater than 75, right? So what I will do is I'll get this and here, I'll add this condition. Okay? So I can do this. This is completely valid. And here, instead of 90, I can have 75 over here. Okay. And instead of Oops. So let me copy this properly. Okay. So I can piece this and I can say, good job. Something like this. Okay. Now, I want to have a condition which says, if the score is greater than 50, I need to say you passed. So I'll just paste it over here. And if the score is greater than, let's say 50, I can say you passed. Something like this. Okay. And let's say if this score is less than 50, okay, you need to say better luck next time. So if this score is not matching any of these condition, I need to say over here, and I can just say console dot log. Oops, I just need console dot log. Okay. So I'll get console dot log, and I'll say better luck next time. Time, something like this. Okay? So you can see over here, I am actually chaining multiple conditions. This is condition number one, the condition number two, condition number three, and then you have the else block. All right. Now if I save this, okay, you can see, good job is printed. Okay, because the score is 75 and it is matching this condition. Score is greater than equal to 75. Okay? If it's 80, you'll see good job being printed. If it's 95, you'll see excellent being printed. If it's 51, you'll see pass being printed. And if it's 44, let's say, you'll see better luck next time being printed. Okay? So multiple conditions have multiple blocks of code, and multiple blocks of code are being executed depending on which condition is true. So this is known as chaining, okay? Chaining if L if L. Okay, so you're actually chaining the conditions over here to form a sort of chain, and depending on the condition, the right one is executed. Okay? Now, beyond chaining, you also have something called as nested IL, okay? So what you can do is, let's say I have an application, okay? And within the application to enter, the user needs to have age greater than 18 and also needs to have permission. Okay? So let's say permission is just a flag right now, okay? So I'll say has permission over here. True for now. Okay? It's just a flag and this flag is being derived from some conditions in our application. Okay? And age, let's say, is 20, for example. So in our application to enter, we need to have age greater than 18 and also the permission. So I'll say if over here, I'll say age greater than equal to Oops. So it's greater than equal to 18 over here. Okay. And then I can say, so this condition is evaluated. Now, if this is true, I need to add one more F over here to check if he has permission because he also needs to have permission to enter, right? And then if he has, I can say console dot log, you are allowed to enter. You can say you are allowed to enter over here. This is done. Okay. Now here, you can even add se over here, and you can add a console law over here. You need permission to enter. Permission to enter, something like this. Okay? And you can add. So this is the I block out of block. You can add block also, and you can paste it over here. You can say, you are not old enough to enter, something like this. You can see. So you can see over here you are allowed to enter because both these conditions are matching. If I change this to 17, you'll see you are not old enough to enter. Even though he has a permission, he's not allowed to enter because this condition itself is failing. So this internal condition is not executed. We just ask him that we just tell him that you are not allowed to enter or you are not old enough to enter. Okay? Now, let's say if he is 20 and if this is false, then in that case, you'll see you need permission to enter, because even though he's matching the age bracket, he's not having the permission. So what you're doing is you are nesting, okay? You are nesting if Ls and nesting meaning you are having one ifs condition within another over here, okay? Now, you can even simplify this over here. You can simplify this condition with the help of logical operators. Okay? So what you can do is you can make use of and operators, not this one and operators in if condition. Okay? So I can say let is weekend. Let's say we have an app that is keeping track of holiday and whether we can relax today or work today. I can say is holiday. Okay. And over here, I can say force, something like this. Okay. So I can say if is weekend, okay? So if it's weekend and if it is holiday, okay, then I need to show a message that you can relax today. Okay? So you can relax today. Now what we are doing is we are having a you're actually checking two variables over here, and you are using or operator. Now, the output of this is Boole in, right? So the output of the condition over here should be boolean for F statement to work fine, all right? And that is what we are doing over here and we are having an s block, and we can say it's working day today. Okay? It's working day. Something like this, right? So you can see you can relax today, and you can see over here. So if I say this is false, and if this is false, you'll see it's working day. Okay? So yeah, this is how it works. You can even make use of and operate over here, okay? And you can actually see the output over here, okay? This is an example. All right. Then there is something called as ternary operator. So ternary operator you will be aware of, which is sorry, question mark and colon. So these two things get you a ternary operator. Okay. So let's say if I have a number over here, and if the number is seven, okay, I can say let result over here is equal to number, percentage, seven or sorry, not seven, two over here. And if this is equal to zero, then I'll say it's even. Otherwise, it's odd, okay? And I can just print console dot log here. Okay. So here, I can say result. You can see it's sod, right? And if I make it eight, Oops. So if I make it eight, it'll be even over here. Okay? Now, the same condition you can even write with the help of if statement, so you can say if all right. And what is the condition? This is a condition, right? So you'll get the condition over here. Okay. And then you need to like return this or assign this to result, right? Over here. What I will do is I won't assign this, but I'll actually take console dot log directly, and I'll just have a result. Oops. So I'll say result over here and I'll say even over here. Okay. Something like this. Okay. And if that's not the case, then what you can do is you can print or. Something like this. You can see even, even. Okay. So it's the same condition actually written with the help of if statement. But in cases, ternary operator gives you a more concise syntax. Like, for example, over here, the condition is pretty simple. So ternary operator is looking much more concise. But now, if the condition is very complex like this one or nested condition, then it's advisable you don't make use of ternary operator because either you will end up making mistake or the person who is reading the code, he won't understand what's happening, right? Because it won't be readable. It would be a mess. So for simple conditions, ternary operator is advisable, okay? But for complex ones, of course, you need to make use of normal ifs, right? So that's something that you should be aware of. Of course, you can even move this to functions, okay? You can even make use of IL in functions. So, uh so function. So you can say function, check, even odd, something like this over here, and I can have this condition over here, okay? And number is ended, right? So you'll get number over here. All right. And you can call this. You can say check, even odd, okay? And you can pass in ten, for example, ten is even. You can pass in 11. You can see 11 is odd. So this is also possible. Okay, you can have Fs in, uh, in functions as well. You can make use of ELs with arrays also. Okay. Let me show that to you. Okay? So let's say you have array of fruits, okay? And you're having apple, okay? I'll just create a few fruits, banana. Okay. And let's say orange. Pretty simple. Okay. Now, let's say I want to check if my favorite, okay? Fruit exist in the array or not. Okay. So let's say my favorite fruit is apple, for example. Okay. So you can say if all right. Okay, 1 second, let me get this template. So you can say if what is the condition? If fruit includes, you have includes over here. Okay. If this includes your favorite fruit, okay? Then what you can do is you can log over here, okay? You can say I'll just say yes. Okay. Otherwise, what you can do is you can say console dot log over here, and here you can say no. Okay I'm just printing simple yes or no. You can have good messages of course. So you can see yes over here. Now, let's say, if it's strawberry my favorite fruit, then it's not there in the list. Okay? So this is how you can make use of arrays with FLS. A right? You can have operations that return boolean value, and that could be valuated in FLS conditions. Okay? You can even do this with Objecs. So let me show you an example over here. Okay? So let's say I have a user over here. User. All right. Oops, I must equal to. Okay. Within user, let's say you have a name of Alice. Okay. Let's say you have is admin as false. Okay? So here, this is a boolean value inside, like a boolean attribute. So you can say I okay I'll get DL template. You can say user dot is Admin. Okay? If he's Admin, you can say console dot log over here. Okay. And you can say, welcome Admin. All right. This is possible. Okay. And otherwise, what you can do is you can come over here and you can say, Oh, you can make use of template literals over here. Okay? You can say user dot n. All right. And then this needs to go in back taxes. Okay? If you save this, you'll see welcome Alice. Okay? So is user EdminFals, right? So you'll see welcome Alice. If this is true, Welcome admin. All right? So I'll keep this as false and we'll have welcome Alice. Okay? So summary IL statement is one of the important control structures in Jascript. Okay? It comes under so there are categories, okay? So you have control structure, meaning you are controlling how your clue your code is executed, right? So if statement comes under that, okay? And it is used for conditional execution, you can see here we are executing code conditionally. If you're making use of If statement, there is no guarantee that the code will be executed because it would depend on the condition, right? And the value values involved over here. If you have complex condition, you won't know, right? So ILS is very fundamental. You will be using FL a lot, whether you learn Javascript, react, all of that, all right? And there are multiple forms like we saw. You have basic if if with Ls, you have if chained together, you have nested IL, you can make use of logical operators to create more complex conditions. You have ternary operator as well, which is a shorthand version of FL statement. So ternary operator is often called a shorthand version of FL statement. Okay. And Is can also be used with functions, arrays, objects, and so on. All right. So I hope you are clear as to how you can make use of decisions in your code with the help of a first statement, and I hope this was super useful. 3. Switching Perspectives: A Deep Dive into Switch Statements: So now it's time that we talk about the switch statement. Now, let us first understand why switch statement exist at the first place. Now the problem is when you are dealing with multiple conditions with ifs, there can be a problem that they become a bit more lengthy and hard to read. And this is a case if you are doing condition evaluation on the same variable, all right? So when dealing with multiple conditions for the same variable, if se can become lengthy and harder to read. Where switch statement comes into picture wherein it offers a cleaner and more readable alternative. All right. So let me give you an example of what multiple conditions on the same variable means. So take a look at this example over here that I've added. Here, I have a variable called fruit. I'm evaluating this variable, okay across multiple conditions and giving the output over here, okay? Now if I save this, of course, I'm going to go I'm going to get the output as apples are $2 per kg. Okay? So I'm getting the price over here. But the conditions are multiple, okay? For one or two condition, IL statement is great, but when conditions grow like this, okay, it can become difficult to manage. And this is where switch statement comes into picture. So how do you write a switch? So you can say over here, let's say I have, okay, here I have fruit. Okay, I'll create another example. I'll call this as fruit type. So the variable will change over here. I'll have a switch on fruit. Okay. So actually, if you type switch over here, you have this template that you can select. Okay? You can see the syntax automatically added over here. Now, switch statements consist of keys and values. Okay? So here you can see this key. So what is a key over here? Key is actually the expression that I wish to evaluate, right? So here, in my case, the expression is fruit type. Okay? So this fruit type now will be evaluated against multiple cases. So case one is over here, Apple. Okay. So I can say apple over here. Okay. And if it's apple, then what I want to do I want to print in this statement over here. Okay? Something like this. All right. So I fruit type is apple, this will be executed this case because it's a matching value, okay? And it will print this to the console. Okay? I can replicate this for other things also. Okay? So for example, I can have it for banana, right. So here I can say this is banana. All right. And I can have the console log over here for banana. Okay. You can see. Okay. I can do similar thing for other fruits also. So I'll add this. Okay. Oops. Indentation, I messed up with the indentation. All right. But after banana, there is orange. I'll say orange over here and what is the console lock for orange? Oge oranges are 1.5 dollar per kg like you can see. Okay? Now default is the default key, when no match is found, so you can get this printed. Okay? Over here. Okay. Something like this. All right. Now, if you save this, you can see apples are $2 per KG. If I make this as strawberry, okay? You'll see sorry we don't have that fruit. If I say orange, oops, not over here. If I say Okay. So if I say strawberry, actually, I change a wrong place, you should not change at the case place. I'm sorry about that, but it will be strawberry. Okay? If you save this, you'll see, sorry we don't have that fruit. If you say orange, Okay, oranges are 1.5 dollar per Kg. Okay? If you say banana, the banana one will be executed. You can see. So this is a better alternative, I would say, easier to read, okay? And it's easier to manage as well. So if you have more cases or more fruits being added, you can simply add a case statement. It's easier to read. But over here, if you have multiple conditions, okay, it might be cumbersome to read. So that's the benefit over here. Okay. Now, you can have fall through in switch as well. Okay? So let me copy this entire thing. I'll come over here. Okay. I'll show you fall through. Okay? So I'll say fall. Two. And I'll get rid of this. This is duplicate actually. So let's say I have this switch statement. Now I want to group multiple cases to execute the same block of code. So what I can do is if the fruit type is apple, then I want to execute these two cases. So what I would do is I would remove break over here. Okay? Now, if I say, Okay, so let me change this too. I'll move this to a normal variable, and over here, I'll say fruit type is equal to apple. Okay. Now, if I save this, you will see apples are $2 per kg and bananas are $1 per kg. You're getting both of these printed over here. If you say banana, only one will be printed. Okay? So why both were printed when you said Apple? Well, what is happening is here you don't have this break statement. So break in a switch case is responsible for breaking the loop over here or breaking the condition. So here, once this is executed, this part, break statement is uncounted and the control does not go to the next case. Instead, it comes out of the switch. So break is essentially used to exit from switch, right? So if you skip break, it will go and start executing the next case also. If I remove this, it will go again and start executing the next case, you can see. Okay, so that's the importance of break. And this behavior over here without break is known as fall through in switch. Okay? So just remember this if someone asks you or if you read this anywhere, ok? This is known as fall through, omitting of break. All right? Now, you can even have a switch with expressions. Okay? So let me say switch with expressions. Okay? All right. I made I'm spelling mistake over here. Okay? So let's say I have a number over here, which is initialized to let's say nine, all right. Now you can say switch over here. Okay. Now I can say true, because this expression is not true. Okay. So now what you can do here is case. You can have number is less than five. So if number is less than five, okay, you will say console dot log over here. Okay. Here, you can say number is less than five, something like this. Okay? You can have similar thing for oops. You can have similar thing for this part over here. Okay. So you can say here, number is greater than equal to five and number is less than five. Oh, sorry, number is not less than five, it's less than ten. So here you can see number is 5-10. So you can see number is 5-10. All right. So this way, you can make use of expressions in case statements as well, right over here. Now, I want to talk about differences between switch in JavaScript, Pis in and Java. All right. So in Java, so this examples that you're seeing is similar to the ones that we have exam in Java, okay? So in Java, also, it works the similar way, okay? And in Java, case values must be constant. Like in Digo enums or strings. But in case of JavaScript, it can be of any data type like strings, numbers, and it can even include expressions like we are seeing over here, right? And with respect to Python, okay? So Python does not have a traditional switch statement, but it uses if Ls, if, all right. So that's something. In the latest version of Python, you also have match key, which is a more powerful construct than JavaScripts switch, right? So yeah, this is what it is, and the syntax will be much more similar to the other programming languages. But one thing you should remember about switch is when should you use it. So if you have multiple values to compare against a single variable like we are doing over here, it's better to use switch because they are much easier to understand and write also. Like, you'll be making less mistakes and someone reading it, it will be much more easier for them also. I hope this has been useful and you have been able to follow along. 4. Iterate to Innovate: Harnessing For Loops in JavaScript: So now it's time that we begin talking about the four loop in JavaScript. Now, JavaScript four loops work like any other programming language, right? So let's say I can write a four statement like this. You can see this syntax that got populated, all right. Now you have this index, which will be like a counter that will help you go through a list of elements, right? So I can have I over here as index. Okay. I can start from zero. Okay, so I is equal to zero, and Oops. So I can come over here, right, and I can have less than five over here. Okay. Let's say, let's say ten. I want to print numbers 0-9. Let's say, I want to print ten numbers, right? I have I plus plus, and I can simply come over here and say Console dot log over here. Okay. And I can have I printed. Like so. All right. And if I save this, you will see zero, one, two, three until nine. So ten numbers are being printed and we are actually making use of four loop for the same. Now, if you have an array, basically, so four loops can be beneficial in iterating through the arrays as well over here. So if I say numbers over here and you can have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Okay. Let's say we have eight numbers. So I'll copy this, Alright. And over here, I can say numbers dot length. This is a array, and we have this length property along with this, okay? And you can access the array over here. So you can say numbers in I. If you save this, you'll see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight over here. Okay? So we have this array being printed. Now what is happening is this is the initialization part. We are initializing the variable. This is the conditional part where we are evaluating the condition whether the four loop should move forward or not. And this is the increment part. So first, the initialization takes place. Then condition is evaluated. So is zero less than numbers dot length. Okay. So zero is less than eight over here. The length of this array is eight, right? So numbers dot length will be eight because we are trying to get the length of the arrays using the length property, right? So since it's true, we'll come inside and you'll print numbers of zero, right? So which means one gets printed. Then you increment I and then you evaluate the condition again. And then you go inside. If the condition is true, you go inside and execute this. This way, this four loop keeps on executing until the condition over here turns out to be false, right, and the loop is exited. Okay? So this is how the four loop works, and this is the counterpart. This is the initialization part, and this is the increment and decrement part. So initialization is just executed in the beginning of the four loop. Right? Later on just these two things are taking care whether the loop should be executed or not. All right? So this is about a four loop, and you can even make use of four loop for printing reverse over here. So I can go reverse. Let me copy this. So this was a forward printing loop. I can actually make this as ten over here. I can reverse the condition that it should be greater than zero, and I can have I minus minus. If I save this, okay, and let me comment this so that there is a little bit of less log onto the screen, you can see over here, 109-87-6543 21, right? So we are going reverse now with the help of this four loop so it's helping us go in the reverse order, and you can do the same with the array as well, right? You can print reverse, print array in reverse. That is something that you can do. You can even nest the four loops, okay. So I'll just comment this over here so that we have a cleaner console and we can see the output over here. So let's say I have this array, o, and let's say I wish to print a matrix, sort of, right? So what I would do is I would come over here. I would also add a four loop over here, ok. And I'll just comment this. Okay. What I would do is I would start from zero. I would say I is less than. I can say, oops, sorry, I is less than, let's say ten, I plus plus, something like this. Okay. Now, I'll say I is equal to zero over here as well, and this inner loop will match. So first of all, we need to change the variable name over here. This should be J. Okay. This also should be J and this also should be J. Okay? So J until J is less than I G plus plus, something like this. Okay. And you can print in J over here. Like so. If you save this, you'll see. Okay, so zero, one, zero, okay? One, 20. One, two, three, and so on. So actually, we are not printing it in the matrix style, but we have a nested four loop that we are making use of to iterate through the arrays. Okay? If you have a matrix sort of array, which is an array of arrays, then you can make use of this kind of a syntax to iterate through it. All right? So that's about four loop. Four loop is essentially or loops in general are essentially useful when you want to repeat a particular piece of code for a number of times until a condition is satisfied. So that is where loops are being used, and four loops just happens to be a kind of a loop. I hope this was useful. 5. Repeat to Succeed: Mastering While Loops for Dynamic Control: So when we talk about loops, we also have something called a le loops or I loop, I should say. All right. Now what is a Ville loop? So Vy loop is a kind of loop that executes a block of code or a group of statements over here. As long as the condition evaluates to true. So once the condition turns out to be false, then in that case, the le loop is executed. All right. So let me give you an example over here of how a le loop would work in Java script. So let's say you have this variable, okay, you can have a Wile statement. What do you want the condition to be? So let's say, I would say I is less than five. Okay, I can say Console, dot log over here, and I can print I like so. Okay. And I'll save this. Another thing is this goes into an endless loop, you can see over here. Okay. Now, this is not right, because there is no break condition. The loop is never executed. Loop is never exited. So you should have some sort of a condition over here. Okay. Let's say I have this condition, I also need to increment the value of I. And if I save this, okay, then the loop would get exited. So I just need to break this now. So now you can see that we have zero to four printed, which is fine numbers. And last time it went into so just now, it went into endless loop because we didn't have to increment condition. Okay? So this is a syntax of y loop and how it's written in JavaScript. So that's about Wile oop. It's pretty straightforward and simple when it comes to Javascript, right? I hope this was useful. 6.
