while Loops

The most basic type of looping in JavaScript is the while loop. A while loop tests an expression and continues to execute the code contained in its {} brackets until the expression evaluates to false.

For example, the following while loop executes until i is equal to 5:

var i = 1;while (i<5){  console.log("Iteration " + i);  i++;}

This example sends the following output to the console:

Iteration 1Iteration 2Iteration 3Iteration 4
