Using Loops with Arrays

Loops enable us to efficiently go through all or specific elements of an array.

For example, we can use a for loop to iterate through all elements of an array and output them:


              12345
            
let numbers = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21];

for(let i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
  console.log("Element " + (i + 1) + " of the array is: " + numbers[i]);
}

This is especially useful when we need to perform an operation on multiple elements in an array:


              1234567
            
let numbers = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21];

console.log("Before:", numbers);
for(let i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
  numbers[i] *= 2;
}
console.log("After:", numbers);

We can use a while or a do-while loop for this purpose as well, however, that is not the convention.


              123456789
            
let numbers = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21];

console.log("Before:", numbers);
let i = 0;
while(i < numbers.length) {
  numbers[i] *= 2;
  i += 1;
}
console.log("After:", numbers);

Even though the same results can be achieved using while or do-while loops, it is recommended to use a for loop when iterating through arrays because it is the conventional and more readable approach.

1. What does the following code output?

2. Does the following code modify the original array?

Everything was clear?
