The code attached below is what I wrote, and I tried it in the console and nothing really happened. What am I missing, please? Should I create a function with the for loop and then call the function?
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
for (var i = 0; i = temperatures.length; i += 1) {
console.log(temperatures[i]);
}

. The result is i
has been assigned a value of temperatures.length
and you have created an infinite loop.
Try the following in a workspace and check the console:
var temperatures = [100,90,99,80,70,65,30,10];
var j = 0;
for (var i = 0; i = temperatures.length; i += 1) {
console.log(temperatures[i]);
console.log(i);
j += 1;
if (j > 10) {
break;
}
}
Use i < temperatures.length
instead.
