Question

hello, yes I am a noob , just started to learn JS, and I am stuck, looking for some help please.
so
the question on while loop. It's fill in the blanks. i got the first 2 right it's the 3rd I stuck on. And I have tried to work it out and still can not get it .
it's asking x= +1 ( the space is what I should fill in, ( I have put the code on the bottom)
many thanks
var x = 1;
while
(x <=
5
) {
document.write(x + "<br />");
x = + 1;
}

Answer 1

That's ok. You want to assign a new value to x by using
x = ..?
statement. If you put x in the space, you will get
x = x + 1
This means that the value on the right-hand side of the = is 1 more than the current value of x. Thus, x will be increased by 1.

Answer 2

Hi Russ,
that's great I understand were I was look at the Number that X is and I thought I had to put a number.
thank you so much.

Answer 3

You have to increment x so that you don't get an infinite loop. Do you know how to do that?
