The `for` Loop

One of the most popular loops, which is available in almost every programming language, is known as the for loop. The for loop is primarily used for executing a block of code a specific number of times.

The general syntax of the for loop is as follows:

for(initialization; condition; operation) {
  // code to be executed
}

The initialization part is where we declare & initialize a variable, this part is executed only once - at the start of the loop. The boolean expression in place of the condition defines the loop condition - the loop executes as long as that condition is true. The operation can be any expression which is evaluated or executed after every successful iteration.

The flow of a for loop can be better understood through a flowchart:

Following is an example of a simple for loop which executes a block of code 15 times:

123
for(let i = 0; i < 15; i++) { console.log("This is the " + i + "th iteration"); }
copy
