While Loop

mmt4331 · Jul 5, 2003

The code below works to a degree. I ask the user to input a number less than 10...if he puts in 10 or greater, I shoot him an alert saying his value is too high. Then the program ends. How can I put where the user, if he puts it greater than ten, go back to the original prompt to ask him again to input a value. I'm trying to learn javascript on my own, and this is puzzling me a little. I'm thinking a while loop may work, but wouldn't quite know how to do it. Any thoughts?

The code is below:

<html>
<title>Practice</title>
<head>
<script language="javascript">

var lowConstant = 10;
var numCounter = prompt("Please enter number","Number&quot

;
var StepUpCounter = parseInt(numCounter);

if (StepUpCounter >= lowConstant)
{
alert("Please enter number less than 10","XNumber&quot

}
else
{
document.writeln(smallLoop())
}

function smallLoop()

{StepUpCounter = StepUpCounter + lowConstant;
return StepUpCounter;
};

</script>
</head>
</html>

When you return a value from a function it must go somewhere ie. into a variable so write-

else{
var n = smallLoop();

document.writeln

;
}

I did that, but that still doesn't solve my problem. How do I code it where it goes back to the same prompt if the user puts a value equal or greater than 10? Thank you.

function F(){

while(StepUpCounter >= lowConstant){
window.prompt("your message&quot

;
}
document.write(smallLoop());

}
