javaScript nested for-in and for loops

abhi mohan156926-Aug-2017
I am a beginner in javaScript. Can someone please help me with the below problem ?

I want to write a code with for in and for loop so that :

It will loop through all recipes in the recipeBook, and print the recipe name followed by its ingredients list. For example, the output for the chocolate cake might look as follows:
Chocolate Cake:
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa 
- 2 tsp baking powder 
- 1 cup Chelsea White Sugar 
- 125g butter 
- 2 Tbsp Chelsea Golden Syrup 
- 2 eggs 
- 1 1/2 cup milk 
- 2 tsp baking soda 
- 1 tsp vanilla essence

Code to add "chocolate cake" to the recipe book could look like this:

recipeBook["Chocolate Cake"] = [ 
  "1 3/4 cup flour", 
  "1/2 cup cocoa", 
  "2 tsp baking powder", 
  "1 cup sugar", 
  "125g butter", 
  "2 Tbsp golden syrup", 
  "2 eggs", 
  "1 1/2 cup milk", 
  "2 tsp baking soda", 
  "1 tsp vanilla essence" 
];

Hi folks, you should make a table like charts which is shown as you wants. than uses loops in/for or nested for type loops for recipeBook. 

you can follow this code is shown below.. 

<html> 
<body>
<h1>Nested Loops</h1>
<p>The Nested for/in statement loop for chocolate cake recipeBook</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var y = [];
y[0]= {quantity:1 3/4 fname:"cup", lname:"flour"}; //fname:first name, lname:last name
y[1]= {quantity:1/2 fname:"cup", lname:"cocoa"}; 
y[2]= {quantity:2 fname:"tsp",mname:"backing",lname:"powder"}; 
y[3]= {quantity:1 fname:"cup",mname:"chelsea",lname:"white sugar"};
y[4]= {quantity:125g fname:"butter"};
.........
.........
and so on as your choice....
var x;
for (x in chocolate) {
    y += chocolate[x] + " ";
}document.getElementById("Mindstick answer").innerHTML = y;
</script>
</body>
</html>

define all variables correctly and it's another way to solve your problem. you should try this code for loop... 

for (for (var i = 0; i < chocolate.length; i++) { 
    for (var j = 0; j < chocolate[i].length; j++) {
        for (var k = 0; k < chocolate[i][j].length; k++) {
            var.y(chocolate[i][j][k]);
        }
    }
}

you can explore more in nested loop by this blog,which is given by our another mindstick member.
