Learned about Loops today

Loops

  • are useful for repeating the same code multiple times.
  • will often have slightly different code each time the loop runs, or the same code will run but with different variables.

Loops break Statement

  • has similar utility to the break statement used in switch() conditionals
  • is used to exit a loop before all iterations are complete and make the browser move on to any code that follows it.

Loops continue Statement

  • is used to break or skip an iteration, if a specified condition occurs, and make the browser continuew ith the next iteration in the loop.

map() vs filter()

  • map()in loops is used to modify items in a collection and create new collection containing the modified items -filter() modifies items in a collection and creates a new collection containing only the items that match

Tomorrow's Learning Plan

  • for loops
  • while and do loops
  • MDN Active Learning Tasks in Loops
