Run a loop n times
I'm writing a program that will calculate a number entered by the user multiplied by 2.
I realised I need a for loop so that the Value will increment by 1 and multiple by 2
The problem is I want to know how to run this loop only 10 times - at the current moment it will run for ever and I had to place an if statement to break out of the loop if the value reaches 50.
//prompt user to enter number
let value = prompt("Enter A number");
//user entered number will loop through while output will show multiples //of 2
for (value;; value++) {
value2 = value * 2;
document.write(`${value} multiply 2 -> ${value2}`);
document.write('<br>');
//i placed this if statement to break out of the for loop as it //will run forever
if (value > 50) {
break;
}

you can use a counter variable to keep a check on number of iterations. I am guessing you want to increase value by 1 after each iteration. You can do something like this:
//prompt user to enter number
let value = prompt("Enter A number");
//user entered number will loop through while output will show multiples //of 2
for (var i=1;i<=10; i++) {
value2 = value * 2;
document.write(`${value} multiply 2 -> ${value2}`);
document.write('<br>');
//i placed this if statement to break out of the for loop as it //will run forever
value++;
