JavaScript Masterclass - Zero to Job-Ready with Hands-On Projects - While Loop / 020

This lecture introduces the while loop, comparing it to the for loop. It explains the structure and execution of a while loop using an example of printing 'hello' five times. The lecture also warns about the dangers of infinite loops and demonstrates using a while loop to iterate over an array. Key concepts include initialization, condition, and increment within the loop structure.

What are the three main components of a loop structure?

• Initialization, condition, and increment

• Start, process, and end

• Input, output, and feedback

• Begin, middle, and finish

In a while loop, where should the initialization typically occur?

• At the end of the loop

• In the middle of the loop

• Outside the loop

• Inside the loop

What happens if a while loop's condition is always true?

• The loop will execute a fixed number of times

• The loop will never execute

• The loop will run indefinitely

• The loop will execute twice

Why is it important to have a condition in a while loop?

• To ensure the loop runs at least once

• To make the loop run faster

• To make the loop more complex

• To prevent the loop from running indefinitely

What is a potential risk of running an infinite loop?

• It can make the program run faster

• It can cause the system to hang

• It can improve system performance

• It can reduce memory usage

When iterating over an array with a while loop, what should the condition be based on?

• The type of the array

• The size of the array elements

• The name of the array

• The length of the array

What is the purpose of incrementing a counter in a while loop?

• To ensure the loop condition eventually becomes false

• To reset the loop

• To decrease the loop's execution time

• To make the loop run indefinitely
