Loop Challenge

Loop rules to remember

The recipe: for (start; keep going; add 1) { repeat this } — three instructions in the parentheses, separated by semicolons, and the repeated code inside the braces.

1. 1

   The counter must grow

   The step++ part is what moves the loop forward. Forget it, and the counter stays at 1 forever — the loop never ends and the program gets stuck running in circles. Always check: start, limit, and the add-one.

2. 2

   Semicolons inside, braces outside

   The parentheses hold the three parts split by ; — and the same counter name must appear in all three. Then the braces { } wrap whatever should repeat, just like the "then" part of an if.

3. 3

   Your challenge missions

   Write a loop that prints at least three messages using the counter. Bonus mission: make a rocket countdown! Start the counter high and shrink it with --: for (let n = 5; n >= 1; n--) prints 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 — then add one more say("Liftoff!") after the closing brace.
