Here we have given example in JavaScript and Python; you can start with either one, or if comfortable, start with both simultaneously.

JavaScript file:

Create a file in visual studio, save the file with .js extension, the file will be a javascript file which will accept only javascript syntax.

You can also write JavaScript code in htm / html file using script block like <script></script>

Python file:

Create a file in visual studio, save the file with .py extension, the file will be a python file which will accept only python syntax.

You also can write python code in html page, which can be served on browser with different extension based on what framework you are using, learn more about python programming.

What is loop? how to work with loop?

Loop is an object structure that runs continuously until all elements are processed, it executes same step again and again repeatedly, till the last element is executed.

For example, we want to display name of all the players in a team, in such situation, we loop through the collection variable where all team members are stored.

JavaScript loop

var players = ["Ajay", "Akshay", "Amir","Monoj","Ravi"];

for(i=0;i<=players.length;i++)
    {
        console.writeline(players[i]);
    }
