I’ve been always confused at the time to choose between the for and while loop.
In which situations should I use ‘while loops’ instead’ for loops’ in JavaScript? Does it make a difference?
In terms of “what works”, they’re interchangeable.
In terms of best practices and conventions, for loops are for a known number of iterations and while loops are to be executed until their intended job is done.
