Loops and Iteration

Welcome to Module 4: Loops and Iteration, where we unlock one of the most powerful features in programming—repetition with purpose.

Loops allow you to write code that runs multiple times without duplication. Whether you’re displaying a list of items, processing user input, or running calculations, loops let you automate repetitive tasks with ease.

This module will help you understand when and how to use different types of loops in JavaScript, and how they fit into real-world development.


What You’ll Learn

By the end of this module, you’ll be able to:

  • Understand what loops are and why they’re so useful in programming
  • Use different types of loops: for, while, and do...while
  • Control loop execution with break and continue
  • Loop through arrays and other collections of data
  • Apply loops to solve real-world problems and automate logic

What’s Inside

  • Lesson 1: The for Loop
    Perfect for situations when you know how many times to repeat something.
  • Lesson 2: The while Loop
    Great for loops that continue as long as a condition stays true.
  • Lesson 3: The do...while Loop
    Ensures your code runs at least once—ideal for checking user input or defaults.
  • Lesson 4: break and continue
    Learn how to exit or skip loop cycles for more control over your logic.
  • Lesson 5: Looping Through Arrays
    Master one of the most common tasks: iterating over lists of data.

Why Loops Matter

Without loops, you’d be stuck copying and pasting the same code over and over. With loops, your programs become more powerful, flexible, and efficient—and that’s what professional developers rely on every day.

This module is packed with clear examples, practice problems, and mini quizzes to help you build confidence and code smarter.
