JavaScript Basic: For Loop Study Note


For loop is another way of repeating code.

for( initial; condition; step) {
//run some code
}

As you see, for loop includes three part:

  • The first part is the initialize where we declare a variable and set it to some initial value.
  • The second part is condition which is when this loop should keep running.
  • The last part is step, so what do we do at the end of every iteration.
I would like to share two examples from the course:

Print numbers from 0 to 5 with a for loop

I write the for loop in the console. There are three part in the for loop: 

1. Initial: count start from 0 (count = 0) 
2. Condition: run the code until the count is less than 6 ( count < 6)
3. Step: count incrementally

The result list 0 to 5.

Print each character in a string with a for loop



1. Initial: list the character from the beginning (start 0) 
2. Condition: run the code until it end by the string length 
3. Step: list all the characters in order

The result list each character for "hello"

Intermediate Express.Js: Write Conditions and Loops In The EJS (study note)

We continue to use the app.js which we have build to be the study example. In the last post, we only add a simple EJS tag <%= thingVar %> inside h1 tag. This will match the "thing" to any "thing" request from the user. If Statement Today, the course shows us to write a simple if statement in the EJS file. I learn to apply it to my own app. In the if statement, if users send"/wantto/workout" request, the page will show a new content "Good Idea!". We wrote the if statement in the "diet.ejs" file, and we add "<% %>" tags around the code. We have to wrap every line of JavaScript anytime JavaScript starts and ends. Moreover, you may see there are two types of ejs tags here: <%= %> The one with equal sign. According to the course, when we add equal sign, the value that is returned inside of the tag will be rendered to the HTML page. it will be added to the HTML. For example, if we write ...

GIT Study Note: Six Git Commands You Should Know!

What is Git? According to Git website , Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Basically, we can use Git to track all of changes and revert them back if we made mistakes. The version control system is a way for us to work with different versions of our code, so that we can save different features and make notes as we progress. It is also very useful for team collaboration. Six Git Command You Should Know 1. Git Init In our server, we need to create a "Git" directory and inside of "Git", we make another direcory "git_inro".

Intermediate Express.js: How To Add Styles & Partials in EJS File?

Today, I learned how to add styles and partials in ejs file. Link Style Step One: Touch a Separate CSS file I create a new directory "Style" under the "EJSDemo" directory, then I add a new CSS file "app.css" inside "Style" folder.

Step Three: Write styles in CSS file I simple give body an orange background color and set text color to be grey. Step Four: Link to CSS file in the EJS file I just add <link> tag to link the "app.css" file on the top of the h1 tag in each ejs template. As the result, when I run the app and...
