Please help to better explain this code to me in JavaScript

Question

let result =1;
let counter=0;
while(counter<10){
result=result*2;
counter=counter+1;
}
console.log(result)
// 1024
why and how result output 1024 ,I don't understand, please can you clarify this to me

Answer 1

The loop will run 10 times, each time multiplying the variable result by 2.
So we have:
result: 1 * 2 = 2
counter: 1

result: 2 * 2 = 4
counter: 2

result: 4 * 2 = 8
counter: 3

........

result: 512 * 2 = 1024
counter: 10

And now counter isn't smaller than 10 so the loop stops and result is printed. I hope I explained it well enough :)

Answer 2

Glad you understood 😊

Answer 3

hey thank a lot , at first I never really understand the calculation you did there but when I took a closer look I understand though
the loop will run 10 time
first it will take the value
result =1*2=2 while counter=1
result=2*2=4 counter=2
result=4*2=8 counter=3
result=8*2=16. and so on
result=16*2=32
result=32*2=64
result=64*2=128
result=128*2=256
result=256*2=512
result=512*2=1024
