How to insert a line break every 5 values?

Question

Recently, I have to write a program which, when I have received 5 values in my document.write , the program has to start on a new line. I searched on multiple things on the internet and I found nothing about it. Here I show you how to deal with it. Hope it can help you!

var countr = 0;
for(i = 1; i <= 50; i++) {
    document.write(i+" ");
    compteur++;
    if (count === 5) {
        document.write("<br>");
        count = 0;
    }
}

Answer 1

You want to use i % 5 === 0 -- Modulus will calculate the remainder. Use in an if statement to write <br> when it returns 0.

//var countr = 0;
for (i = 1; i <= 50; i++) {
  document.write(i + " ");
  // compteur++;
  if (i % 5 === 0) {
    document.write("<br>");
    // count =0;
  }
}

Since you're using a loop, you can use i in your comparison as long as you don't update the variable. You're also using countr, compteur, count while you can use i instead. // comments (disables) code.

I don't understand exactly what result you are expecting. But at first what I see - you have written your counter incorrect 3 times.

var counter= 0;
for(i=1 ; i<=50 ;i++){
    document.write(i+" ");
    counter++;
    if (counter === 5){
        document.write("<br>");
        counter =0;
    }
}
