JavaScript iterate Array | 5 Ways example codes

  • by

Iteration is the repetition of a process in order to generate an outcome. In JavaScript, you can iterate an array using for-loop, while-loop, foreach, every method, map, etc.

Examples of JavaScript iterate array

Let’s see HTML examples code:-

1. for loop

The for loop is used to iterate over a sequence. Let’s print all values of the array in the console.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

    <script> 
        arr1 = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]; 
        for (index = 0; index < arr1.length; index++) { 
            console.log(arr1[index]); 
        } 
    </script> 

</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Output:

2. while loop

The while loop loops through a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.

<script> 
        arr1 = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]; 
        while (index < arr1.length) { 
            console.log(arr1[index]); 
            index++; 
        }
    </script> 

3. forEach method

The forEach() method calls a function once for each element in an array, in order.

<script> 
        arr1 = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]; 
        arr1.forEach(myFunction); 
        function myFunction(item, index) 
        { 
            console.log(item);  
        }
    </script>

4. every method

Every method executes the provided callback function once for each element present in the array until it finds the one where callback returns a falsy value.

<script> 
        arr1 = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]; 
        const under_five = x => x < 5; 

        if (arr1.every(under_five)) { 
            console.log('All are less than 5'); 
        } 
        else { 
            console.log('At least one element is not less than 5'); 
        } 
</script> 

Output: At least one element is not less than 5

5. Using map

The Map object holds key-value pairs and remembers the original insertion order of the keys.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

    <script> 
        arr1 = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]; 
        square = x => Math.pow(x, 2); 
        squares = array.map(square); 
        console.log(array); 
        console.log(squares);
    </script> 

</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
