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.

Increment and Decrement

Increment and Decrement are operations used to increase or decrease a variable's value by 1.

Increment

The increment operation is performed using the ++ operator:


              1234567
            
let a = 0;
a++;
console.log(a);
a++;
console.log(a);
a++;
console.log(a);

Note

The expression a++ is equivalent to a = a + 1 or a += 1.

Decrement

The decrement operation is performed using the -- operator:


              1234567
            
let a = 5;
a--;
console.log(a);
a--;
console.log(a);
a--;
console.log(a);

Note

The expression a-- is equivalent to a = a - 1 or a -= 1.

Increment and decrement operations are frequently used in loops, which we will discuss in more detail later.
