the while loop question in JS

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?
