for...of Loop

Syntax

The for...of loop is a more modern and concise way to iterate over arrays. It automatically handles the loop counter and provides direct access to each element's value. The syntax for a for...of loop is as follows:

In this syntax:

const element is a variable that stores the value of each element during each iteration;
of array specifies the array we want to iterate over.

Example

Here's an example of using the for...of loop to achieve the same result as the previous for loop:


              12345
            
const students = ["Brandon", "Mario", "Saul"];

for (const student of students) {
  console.log(student);
}

Line 1: It declares a constant variable named students and assigns it an array containing three strings - "Brandon", "Mario", and "Saul". This array represents a list of student names;
Line 3: It starts a for...of loop. The loop is used to iterate through each element in the students array one at a time;
Line 4: Inside the for...of loop, we use the console.log() function to log the value of the current element to the console. The student variable represents the current element in the array during each loop iteration. So, in the first iteration, it will be "Brandon", in the second iteration, "Mario", and in the third iteration, "Saul".

1. What is the primary advantage of using a `for...of` loop when iterating over arrays?

2. In the `for...of` loop syntax, what does the `const element` represent?

3. What is the purpose of the `of array` part in the `for...of` loop syntax?

Tudo estava claro?
