--description--
A common task in JavaScript is to iterate through the contents of an array. One way to do that is with a for
loop. This code will output each element of the array arr
to the console:
const arr = [10, 9, 8, 7, 6];
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
console.log(arr[i]);
}
Remember that arrays have zero-based indexing, which means the last index of the array is length - 1
. Our condition for this loop is i < arr.length
, which stops the loop when i
is equal to length
. In this case the last iteration is i === 4
i.e. when i
becomes equal to arr.length - 1
and outputs 6
to the console. Then i
increases to 5
, and the loop terminates because i < arr.length
is false
.
--instructions--
Declare and initialize a variable total
to 0
. Use a for
loop to add the value of each element of the myArr
array to total
.
--hints--
total
should be declared and initialized to 0.
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/(var|let|const)\s*?total\s*=\s*0.*?;?/));
total
should equal 20.
assert(total === 20);
You should use a for
loop to iterate through myArr
.
assert(/for\s*\(/g.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)) && /myArr\s*\[/g.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));
You should not attempt to directly assign the value 20 to total
.
assert(!__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)).match(/total[=+-]0*[1-9]+/gm));

// Setup

--solutions--
const myArr = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
let total = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < myArr.length; i++) {
total += myArr[i];
