Difference Between conditions and loops?

Conditions:

• Chooses which block of code runs depending on a boolean result.

• Based on true/false decision.

• Good for validation, branching, checks.

• No automatic repetition.

• Examples: if, else, switch.
  

let age = 17;

if (age >= 18) {
  console.log("Eligible");
} else {
  console.log("Not eligible");
}

Loops :

• Executes a block repeatedly until a condition fails.

• Based on counter, condition, or data length.

• Good for arrays, counting, tasks, automation.

• Repeats until condition stops.

• Examples: for, while, map, for…of
  

for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
  console.log("Count:", i);
}
