Don't understand why my for loop code isn't working

Question

I was playing with the break and continue keyword but I notice in chrome console this code doesn't work

     for (let i = 0; i > 5; i++) {
     console.log(i);
     } //this will print all number from 1 to 5 but console showing undefined

However I tried changing i = 5 or i === 5 still it doesn't work

But when I changed it to i < 5 then it yields correct result.

Why is that?

Answer 1

your condition is i > 5. At the beginning i = 0 so it will not run ever. put i < 5

Answer 2

Please check following diagram

Condition getting false on the first time so code block won't execute

Answer 3

i<5 indicates that the for loop will run as long as i is less than 5. i>5 indicates that 0 is less than 5 ( let i = 0 ). So the correct program should be -

 for (let i = 0; i <= 5; i++) { console.log(i); }
