- 1. A for loop that counts down: start i high, keep going while i >= 1, and subtract 1 each time with i--. Use i -= 2 to count down in steps of 2. Word 2 of: for (___ i = 10; i >= 1; i--) (3)
- 3. A loop that re-asks with prompt() while the answer fails the check, showing an error message each time, so bad input never continues. Here it repeats while ______ is outside 1 to 10. Word 2 of: _____ (!(___ >= 1 && ___ <= 10)) (3)
- 4. Calling a function: write its name followed by brackets, like sayHello(), to run its code. You can call it as many times as you like. Without the brackets, it does not run. (12)
- 6. Typed form of a repeat until ______ = 5 block: keep looping while the opposite is true. A repeat 10 block becomes a for loop, and forever becomes while (true). Word 2 of: _____ (_____ !== 5) (5)
- 7. A loop runs forever if nothing in its body changes the variable its condition tests. Updating ______ each time lets the condition become false so the loop stops. Word 2 of: _____ (_____ < 5) { _____++; } (5)
- 8. Word 1 of the term in 7 Across: _____ (_____ < 5) { _____++; } (5)
Down
- 1. A ______ inside another ______. The inner ______ runs all its repeats for every single repeat of the outer ______, so an outer 3 and inner 4 gives 12 passes. Word 2 of: ______ ____ (4)
- 2. Adds each ______ to a running ______ inside a loop. Start with let ______ = 0 before the loop, and use count++ to count how many times something happens. Print the results after the loop. Word 2 of: _____ += _____; (5)
- 3. Word 1 of the term in 1 Down: ______ ____ (6)
- 5. Word 1 of the term in 2 Down: _____ += _____; (5)
