| title: Iterate with JavaScript While Loops
 | |
| ---
 | |
| Another type of JavaScript loop is called a `while loop` because it runs `while` something is true, and stops once that something is no longer true. Unlike the `for loop`, which is made up of three parts, the `while loop` only contains a condition statement.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     var ourArray = [];
 | |
|     var i = 0;
 | |
|     while(i < 5) {
 | |
|       ourArray.push(i);
 | |
|       i++;
 | |
|     }
 | |
|  
 | |
|  It is important to remember to increase the variable used in this example, without the addition of `i++` the loop would continue forver.
