Mastering Control Structures in JavaScript

-

 Control structures form the backbone of any programming language, allowing developers to dictate the flow of execution in their code. JavaScript, being a versatile and widely-used language, offers several control structures such as conditional statements and loops to enable dynamic decision-making and repetitive task handling. In this blog, we’ll explore control structures in JavaScript with examples for better understanding and implementation.

1. Conditional Statements

1.1 if/else Statements

The if statement executes a block of code if a specified condition evaluates to true. The else statement specifies a block of code to execute if the condition is false.

Syntax:


Example:

1.2 if/else if/else Statements

Use else if for multiple conditions.

Example:


1.3 Ternary Operator

For concise conditional expressions, use the ternary operator.

Example:

 

 

2. Switch Statements

The switch statement evaluates an expression and executes code blocks based on matching cases.

Syntax: 

Example:



3. Loops

Loops are used to execute a block of code repeatedly as long as a condition evaluates to true.

3.1 for Loop

The for loop is ideal for iterating a known number of times.

Syntax:

Example:

 


3.2 while Loop

The while loop executes as long as the specified condition evaluates to true.

Syntax:

Example:

3.3 do-while Loop

The do-while loop executes the code block once before checking the condition, ensuring at least one iteration.

Syntax:

Example:




Practical Scenarios

Example: Calculate Sum of First N Numbers (Using for Loop)


 

Example: Validate User Input (Using while Loop)


Example: Menu Navigation (Using switch)




Conclusion

Control structures in JavaScript provide the flexibility to make decisions and repeat tasks efficiently. Mastering if/else, switch, and loops will empower you to write robust and dynamic JavaScript programs. Practice these concepts with real-world examples to solidify your understanding, try it on your own IDE to better understand the above example and enhance your coding skills!

Mastering JavaScript Functions: Declaration, Expression, and Arrow Functions

-

 Functions are a fundamental building block of JavaScript, enabling you to write reusable and maintainable code. In this blog, we’ll explore the three main ways to define functions in JavaScript: function declarations, function expressions, and arrow functions. We'll also dive into practical examples for each. 1. Function Declaration A function declaration defines a named function that can be invoked anywhere in its scope. This is because of a feature called hoisting , which allows function declarations to be moved to the top of their scope during the compile phase. Syntax: Example: Key Characteristics: The function has a name ( greet in this case). It can be called before its declaration due to hoisting.
