JavaScript Loops for Pythonistas

Port a small Python report to JavaScript one loop at a time, and learn where your Python loop habits break in JavaScript, often silently, and what JavaScript developers write instead.

You can now write small JavaScript programs using values, collections, conditions, loops, functions, and modules, and trace errors when a result is unexpected.
