Challenge: Sentence Building

4. Conditional Statements

Discover how to control the flow of your programs with conditional statements. Master `if`, `else`, and `else if` to instruct JavaScript on making decisions and executing code based on different conditions.

Challenge: Determining Size

5. Loops

Streamline your code by mastering JavaScript's looping structures. Explore `while`, `do while`, and `for` loops, and learn how to control their behavior using `break` and `continue`. Unlock the power of loops to perform repetitive tasks efficiently.

Challenge: Printing Numbers from 5 to 9

Challenge: Stopping and Skipping

Task

Implement a loop that skips even iterations and stops on the 5th iteration. Here are the instructions:

The loop should stop at the 5th iteration.
For each iteration, output the iteration number to the console.
If the loop skips an iteration, output the word "Skip" to the console.
If the loop stops, output the word "Stop" to the console.


              123456789101112131415
            
for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
  console.log("Iteration", ___);
  
  if (i >= 5) {
    console.log("___");
    ___;
  };

  if (i % 2 == 0) {
    console.log("___");
    ___;
  } else {
    console.log("Successful");
  };
};

The output should be:

Include the counter variable in the first console.log() statement.
Use the break statement inside the if (i >= 5) block to stop the loop.
Output the string "Stop" to the console before the break statement.
Use the continue statement inside the if (i % 2 == 0) block to skip even iterations.
Output the string "Skip" to the console before the continue statement.
For other cases, output "Successful" to the console.


              123456789101112131415
            
for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
  console.log("Iteration", i);

  if (i >= 5) {
    console.log("Stop");
    break;
  }

  if (i % 2 == 0) {
    console.log("Skip");
    continue;
  } else {
    console.log("Successful");
  }
}

¿Todo estuvo claro?
