I'm learning JavaScript and I'm experimenting with the continue statement, and from my understanding, it's suppose to "skip" an iteration and than continue. I wrote a piece of code from a Udemy course I'm doing. The for loop is suppose to fill the percentages2 array, and it does work.
However, I'm trying to have the array not be filled up with values less than 2. If it works I should be getting back 2 elements in my percentages2 array instead of 4.
Anyone know why the continue statement isn't working?
const populations2 = [332, 144, 1441, 67];
const percentages2 = [];
const percentageOfWorld4 = function (population) {
return (population / 7900) * 100;
};
for (let p = 0; p < populations2.length; p++) {
if (percentages2[p] < 2) continue;
percentages2.push(percentageOfWorld4(populations2[p]));
}
console.log(percentages2);Hyy,
populations2 rightpercentageOfWorld4 it should be (percentageOfWorld4(populations2[p]) < 2)
pth value of populations2 then use continuepercentages2.push(populations2[p]);const populations2 = [332, 144, 1441, 67];
const percentages2 = [];
const percentageOfWorld4 = function(population) {
return (population / 7900 ) * 100;
};
for (let p = 0; p < populations2.length; p++) {
if(percentageOfWorld4(populations2[p]) < 2) continue;
percentages2.push(populations2[p]);
}; console.log(percentages2); // [4.2025316455696204, 18.240506329113924]
It is a good practice to store the return value in a variable rather then calling the function twice
const populations2 = [332, 144, 1441, 67];
const percentages2 = [];
const percentageOfWorld4 = function(population) {
return (population / 7900 ) * 100;
};
for (let p = 0; p < populations2.length; p++) {
let result = percentageOfWorld4(populations2[p]);
if(result < 2) continue;
percentages2.push(result);
}; console.log(percentages2); // [4.2025316455696204, 18.240506329113924]
