A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

Javascript – Js for loop – help needed

I have created a basic program that asks a customer…
How many tacos the customer wants to order

I want the for loop that is inside the function place_order to consol.log the pharase…

Your x amount of tacos are being prepared.

However, if the customer ordered 3 tacos; I want the message to be consol.loged 3 times.
If the customer typed 8 tacos – I want the message to be consol.loged 8 times.

How many tacos would you like to order

Customer inputs: 3

Output: your 3 tacos are being prepared
your 3 tacos are being prepared
your 3 tacos are being prepared

confirm = window.confirm("Hey there! Would you like to order some tacos?");
prompt = window.prompt("How many tacos would you like to order? (Maximum amount is 99 tacos")

console.log(confirm)
console.log(prompt)

function place_order(){
    console.log("Your order will contain:  " + prompt + "   tacos!!!");  //This line confirms your order.
    console.log("Your total is: " + prompt*5 + " USD."); //This line gives you the total $ spent.
    for (let i = prompt; i <= prompt; i++){
        console.log("Your  " + prompt + "  tacos are being prepared 🌮");
    }
}

place_order()

    You should start the index from 1, as you are starting it from the prompt input, that is why it is not working

    Instead of i <= prompt, you should use i <= parseInt(prompt) to convert the input to a number.

    confirm = window.confirm("Hey there! Would you like to order some tacos?");
prompt = window.prompt("How many tacos would you like to order? (Maximum amount is 99 tacos)");

console.log(confirm);
console.log(prompt);

function place_order() {
    console.log("Your order will contain:  " + prompt + "   tacos!!!");  // This line confirms your order.
    console.log("Your total is: " + prompt * 5 + " USD."); // This line gives you the total $ spent.
    for (let i = 1; i <= parseInt(prompt); i++) {
        console.log("Your  " + prompt + "  tacos are being prepared 🌮");
    }
}

place_order();

    Iuf the customer inputs 3, it will print:

    Your 3 tacos are being prepared 🌮
Your 3 tacos are being prepared 🌮
Your 3 tacos are being prepared 🌮
