for Statement (JScript 5.6)


for (initialization; test; increment) ┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á┬ástatements

initialization: Required. An expression. This expression is executed only once, before the loop is executed.

test: Required. A Boolean expression. If test is true, statement is executed. If test if false, the loop is terminated.

increment: Required. An expression. The increment expression is executed at the end of every pass through the loop.

statements: Optional. One or more statements to be executed if test is true. Can be a compound statement.

You usually use a for loop when the loop is to be executed a specific number of times.

The following example demonstrates a for loop.

┬á	Copy Code
/* i is set to 0 at start, and is incremented by 1 at the end of each iteration. Loop terminates when i is not less than 10 before a loop iteration. / var myarray = new Array(); for* (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { myarray[i] = i; }

Copy Code

/* i is set to 0 at start, and is incremented by 1 at the end 
of each iteration. Loop terminates when i is not less 
than 10 before a loop iteration. */
var myarray = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
   myarray[i] = i;
}
