"Traditional" for loops in CoffeeScript
CoffeeScript’s for-in loops iterate over all of the elements in an array. I wanted to do a “traditional” loop, where I went through the loop by number. CoffeeScript has no way to do this using its for
statement, but you can do it:
i = 0
while (i <= 10)
console.log("#{i} is a great number.")
i += 1
This just requires that you remember that for
is just syntactic sugar for while
.
