Question

Are there other ways to increment a for loop in Javascript besides i++ and ++i? For example, I want to increment by 3 instead of one.

for (var i = 0; i < myVar.length; i+3) {
   //every three
}

Answer 1

Use the += assignment operator:

for (var i = 0; i < myVar.length; i += 3) {

Technically, you can place any expression you’d like in the final expression of the for loop, but it is typically used to update the counter variable.
