// 5.2 looping version
function loop(value, test, update, body) {
  for (let i = value; test(i); i = update(i)) {
    body(i)
  }
}

loop(3, n => n > 0, n => n - 1, console.log);
// → 3
// → 2
// → 1

5.2 Your own loop

Write a higher-order function loop that provides something like a for loop statement. It takes a value, a test function, an update function, and a body function. Each iteration, it first runs the test function on the current loop value and stops if that returns false. Then it calls the body function, giving it the current value. And finally, it calls the update function to create a new value and starts from the beginning.

When defining the function, you can use a regular loop to do the actual looping.

at the third part of the loop update(i),you have to assign it to the varable i like this i=update(i),otherwise the i never gets updated and you got yourself an infinite loop,you can try this code,it crashes and creates an infinite loop.

Hey bro, I suggest you add " i = update(i)" at the last part of the iteration, letting it like you wrote up there, will get you on an infinite loop.

I obviously never tested that... 😅
