Print Numbers from 1 to N (JavaScript)

Printing numbers from 1 to N is a fundamental programming exercise that introduces the concept of iteration and loops in JavaScript. It’s a common starting point for beginners to understand how to control the flow of a program and generate a sequence of values.

The goal is to display every integer starting from 1 up to a specified upper limit, ‘N’. This typically involves a loop that increments a counter variable from 1 to N, printing its value in each iteration.

The for loop is ideal when you know the number of iterations in advance.

Explanation:

• The loop initializes currentNumber to 1.
• It continues as long as currentNumber is less than or equal to limitN.
• In each iteration, currentNumber is printed to the console, and then incremented by 1.

The while loop is suitable when the number of iterations is not fixed beforehand, but rather depends on a condition.

Explanation:

• currentNumber is initialized to 1.
• The while loop continues as long as currentNumber is less than or equal to limitN.
• Inside the loop, currentNumber is printed, and then incremented by 1.

• Loops (for and while): Essential for repetitive tasks in JavaScript.
• Iteration: The process of repeating a set of instructions.
• Counter Variable: A variable used to keep track of the number of iterations.

This basic problem lays the groundwork for more complex algorithmic challenges involving sequences and series.
