How to use the loops In Javascript

The loops in JavaScript can be used to iterate over the elements that fall inside the entered maximum and minimum numbers which can be added one by one to get the sum of all of them.

NOTE: In this example, we will implement it using the for loop. You can also use other loops that are available in JavaScript to get the sum of numbers in a range.

Syntax:

for(let i=minNum; i<maxNum; i++){
// Code Statements
}

Example: The below code illustrates the use of the for loop to get the sum of all numbers in a range using JavaScript.

How to Sum all Numbers in a Range in JavaScript ?

We have to write the code to sum all the numbers that lie inside a range of numbers entered by the users. There will be two input fields on the web page that allow the user to enter the maximum and the minimum numbers of the range and then find out the sum of all numbers that lie only inside those two numbers(excluding the numbers).

Example:

Input: Entered minimum number: 2
Entered Maximum Number: 8
Output: Result (Sum of all numbers lie inside the entered numbers): 25(3+4+5+6+7)

Input: Entered minimum number: 6
Entered Maximum Number: 15
Output: Result (Sum of all numbers lie inside the entered numbers): 84(7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14)

We can use the following approaches to solve this problem.
