# --description--

A common task in JavaScript is to iterate through the contents of an array. One way to do that is with a `for` loop. This code will output each element of the array `arr` to the console:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var arr = [10, 9, 8, 7, 6];
|
||
|
|
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
|
||
|
|
console.log(arr[i]);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remember that arrays have zero-based indexing, which means the last index of the array is `length - 1`. Our condition for this loop is `i < arr.length`, which stops the loop when `i` is equal to `length`. In this case the last iteration is `i === 4` i.e. when `i` becomes equal to `arr.length` and outputs `6` to the console.

# --instructions--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Declare and initialize a variable `total` to `0`. Use a `for` loop to add the value of each element of the `myArr` array to `total`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# --hints--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`total` should be declared and initialized to 0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(code.match(/(var|let|const)\s*?total\s*=\s*0.*?;?/));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`total` should equal 20.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(total === 20);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should use a `for` loop to iterate through `myArr`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(/for\s*\(/g.test(code) && /myArr\s*\[/g.test(code));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should not attempt to directly assign the value 20 to `total`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(!__helpers.removeWhiteSpace(code).match(/total[=+-]0*[1-9]+/gm));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
