robokopf Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 hi guys, i was looking through the W3School Javascript For loop tutorial and the examples. <html><body><script type="text/javascript">var i=0for (i=0;i<=10;i++){document.write("The number is " + i)document.write("<br />")}</script></body></html> how do i perform an addition to add all the numbers from 0 to 10 and then display the result which is 55? any tips on this? should i use a for loop or a while loop? thanks in advance.

justsomeguy Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 You use a for loop if you know how many times the loop needs to run. If you don't know that, you use a while loop, which will run until some condition becomes false. So a for loop is used when you know how many times it needs to go, or else use a while loop. Since you know this loop needs to run 10 times, a for would work best. ans = 0;for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) ans += i;alert(ans); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
