2) setting, accessing, and deleting cookies in a Python Flask application

1. What are Cookies in Flask?
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on the client side (browser) used to remember user
information across requests.
2. How to Set a Cookie in Flask
Use make_response() to create a response, then use .set_cookie().
from flask import Flask, make_response

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/setcookie')
def set_cookie():
resp = make_response("Cookie Set")
resp.set_cookie('username', 'JohnDoe') # key, value
return resp

3. How to Access a Cookie in Flask

Use request.cookies.get('cookie_name').
from flask import request

@app.route('/getcookie')
def get_cookie():
username = request.cookies.get('username') # Get cookie value
return f'Hello {username}' if username else 'No cookie found'

4. How to Delete a Cookie in Flask

Use .set_cookie() with expires=0 or max_age=0.
@app.route('/deletecookie')
def delete_cookie():
resp = make_response("Cookie Deleted")
resp.set_cookie('username', '', expires=0) # Remove the cookie
return resp

Operation Method Used Example Code

 Set set_cookie() resp.set_cookie('key',
'value')

Get request.cookies.get() request.cookies.get('key')

Delete set_cookie(..., expires=0) resp.set_cookie('key', '',

expires=0)

3) What are Flask Templates? How do they help in creating dynamic web pages?
Flask templates are HTML files that use the Jinja2 templating engine, integrated with Flask, to create
dynamic content. Templates allow embedding Python-like expressions ({{ }}, {% %}) directly into
HTML.
Purpose and Benefits:
 Enable dynamic content rendering (e.g., displaying user data).
 Promote separation of concerns: Python code in views, HTML in templates.
 Simplify front-end generation based on backend data.
How it works:
 render_template('template.html', key=value) passes data to the template.
 The template uses {{ key }} to display dynamic data.
 You can use control structures like {% if %}, {% for %}.
Example:
app.py=>
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
return render_template('index.html', name='Alice')

templates/index.html =>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Welcome {{ name }}!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Output: Welcome Alice!
4) What is URL Building in Flask? Explain with an example.
URL building in Flask refers to the process of dynamically generating URLs for functions (routes)
using the url_for() function instead of hardcoding URLs.
Purpose / Benefits:
 Avoids hardcoding URLs → more maintainable.
 Automatically updates links if route changes.
 Supports adding dynamic arguments (query strings, path variables).
How it works: Flask maps URLs to functions. url_for('function_name') returns the URL for that
function.
Example:
app.py =>
from flask import Flask, url_for, redirect

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/profile/<username>')
def profile(username):
return f'Hello {username}'

@app.route('/')
def index():
return redirect(url_for('profile', username='John'))
Explanation:
 url_for('profile', username='John') builds /profile/John dynamically.
 If route /profile/<username> ever changes, url_for will handle it automatically.
Output:
Redirects to:
/profile/John
Hello John

5) What are the HTTP methods supported by Flask? Explain each with examples.
HTTP methods define the type of action to be performed on a resource. Flask supports several HTTP
methods for handling different types of requests.
Supported HTTP Methods in Flask:
1. GET
o Purpose: Retrieves data from the server (default method).

o Example: Accessing a webpage or API endpoint.

Example:
@app.route('/get', methods=['GET'])
def get_example():
return 'This is a GET request'
Output: "This is a GET request"
2. POST
o Purpose: Sends data to the server, typically to create or update a resource.

o Example: Submitting a form or uploading data.

Example:
@app.route('/post', methods=['POST'])
def post_example():
return 'POST request received'
Output: "POST request received"
3. PUT
o Purpose: Updates a resource on the server (replaces current data).

o Example: Updating a user's profile information.

Example:
@app.route('/put', methods=['PUT'])
def put_example():
return 'PUT request received'
Output: "PUT request received"
4. DELETE
o Purpose: Deletes a resource on the server.

o Example: Deleting a record from a database.

Example:
@app.route('/delete', methods=['DELETE'])
def delete_example():
return 'DELETE request received'
Output: "DELETE request received"
5. PATCH
o Purpose: Partially updates a resource.

o Example: Updating just one field of a resource (e.g., updating email in a user
profile).
Example:
@app.route('/patch', methods=['PATCH'])
def patch_example():
return 'PATCH request received'
Output: "PATCH request received"
6. OPTIONS
o Purpose: Returns the allowed HTTP methods for a resource.
 o Example: Checking which HTTP methods are supported on an endpoint.

Example:
@app.route('/options', methods=['OPTIONS'])
def options_example():
return 'OPTIONS request received'
Output: "OPTIONS request received"

HTTP Method Purpose Example Output

GET Retrieves data from the server "This is a GET request"
POST Sends data to the server to create/update "POST request received"
PUT Updates/replaces a resource "PUT request received"
DELETE Deletes a resource "DELETE request received"
PATCH Partially updates a resource "PATCH request received"
OPTIONS Checks allowed HTTP methods "OPTIONS request received"

Module 6: AJAX and Rich Internet Applications (RIA)

1) What is AJAX? Explain its working with the help of a diagram.
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technique used in web development to send and
receive data from a server asynchronously (in the background) without reloading the entire webpage.
This allows for faster, more dynamic web applications.
How AJAX Works:
1. Client Sends Request: JavaScript sends an asynchronous request to the server (usually using
XMLHttpRequest or Fetch API).
2. Server Processes Request: The server processes the request and generates a response
(commonly in JSON or XML).
3. Client Receives Response: The client receives the data asynchronously without refreshing
the entire page.
4. Web Page Updates: The JavaScript updates the page dynamically with the new data without
refreshing it.
AJAX Working Flow (Diagram):
Benefits of AJAX:
 Faster Interactions: No page reload, making web applications feel faster.
 Better User Experience: Allows for seamless, interactive content updates.
 Reduced Server Load: Only necessary data is exchanged, reducing unnecessary data
transfer.

2) What are the features and working of AJAX? How does it enhance web interactivity?
Features of AJAX:
1. Asynchronous Communication: Data is sent/received in the background without disrupting
user interaction.
2. Partial Page Updates: Only specific page sections are updated, avoiding full page reloads.
3. Supports Multiple Data Formats: Handles XML, JSON, HTML, and text formats.
4. Reduces Server Load: Only necessary data is requested, reducing load and bandwidth.
5. Cross-platform Compatibility: Works across browsers and platforms.
6. Enhanced User Experience: Faster, more responsive applications with reduced waiting times.
Working of AJAX:
1. Client Sends Request: The client sends an asynchronous HTTP request using JavaScript
(XMLHttpRequest/Fetch).
2. Server Processes Request: The server processes and sends the response (usually JSON or
XML).
 3. Client Receives Response: The client receives the data without reloading the page.
4. Dynamic Page Update: JavaScript updates the page by manipulating the DOM with the new
data.
How AJAX Enhances Web Interactivity:
1. Faster User Interactions: Instant page updates without reloading, improving response times.
2. Improved User Experience: Smooth interaction by updating only part of the page.
3. Seamless Updates: Continuous interaction with no page interruptions.
4. Real-time Data: Fetches live data, such as updates or notifications, without page refresh.
Summary:
 Features: Asynchronous, partial updates, reduced server load, supports multiple formats.
 Working: Client → Request → Server → Response → Dynamic update.
 Interactivity: Instant updates, improved UX, and real-time data without full reloads.

3) Technologies AJAX Works With:

1. JavaScript: Handles asynchronous communication and DOM manipulation.
2. XMLHttpRequest / Fetch API: Sends asynchronous requests to the server.
3. HTML: Updates the structure of the page dynamically.
4. CSS: Styles dynamically updated content.
5. JSON / XML: Data formats used for communication between client and server.
6. Server-Side Technologies (e.g., PHP, Python, Node.js): Processes AJAX requests and returns
data.
7. jQuery (optional): Simplifies AJAX requests and DOM updates.

4) How the XMLHttpRequest Object is Used in AJAX

The XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object is used in AJAX to send HTTP requests to the server and
receive responses asynchronously. It allows web pages to update dynamically without reloading the
entire page.
Steps to Use XMLHttpRequest in AJAX:
1. Create an XMLHttpRequest Object: Instantiate the XHR object to interact with the server.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
2. Open a Request: Initialize the request with the HTTP method (GET, POST) and the URL of
the server-side script.
xhr.open('GET', 'data.json', true); // Asynchronous request
3. Send the Request: Send the request to the server.
 xhr.send();
4. Handle the Response: Set up an event listener (or callback function) to handle the response
once the request is completed.
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) {
console.log(xhr.responseText); // Handle the server response
}
};
Key States of XMLHttpRequest:
o readyState has values from 0 (uninitialized) to 4 (complete).

o status represents the HTTP response code (e.g., 200 for success).

Summary:
 XMLHttpRequest sends HTTP requests, allowing asynchronous communication.
 The object is used to open, send, and handle responses to dynamically update a web page
without a full reload.

5) What is RIA (Rich Internet Application)? What are its Characteristics?

Rich Internet Application (RIA) is a web application that offers a dynamic, interactive, and
desktop-like experience using technologies like AJAX, Flash, or Silverlight.
Characteristics:
1. Enhanced UI: Desktop-like interfaces with interactive elements.
2. Asynchronous Data Loading: Uses AJAX to load data without page refresh.
3. Cross-platform: Runs on multiple platforms and browsers.
4. Multimedia Support: Integrates audio, video, and graphics.
5. Local Storage: Caches data locally for offline use.
6. Interactive Features: Includes drag-and-drop, real-time updates, etc.
7. Backend Integration: Connects seamlessly with server-side systems.
8. Improved Performance: Minimizes server requests for faster interaction.
Summary:
 RIA: Web apps with desktop-like experiences.
 Characteristics: Enhanced UI, asynchronous loading, cross-platform, multimedia, local
storage, interactivity, backend integration, and better performance.

6) User Registration Form Design and Input Validation

1. Fields in the Form:
o Username: Text input field.
 o Password: Password input field (hidden characters).

o Confirm Password: Password input field (hidden characters).

o Email: Email input field.

o Phone Number: Text input field.

o Submit Button: Button to submit the form.

Example HTML structure:

<form id="registration-form">
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" required>

<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" required>

<label for="confirm-password">Confirm Password:</label>

<input type="password" id="confirm-password" name="confirm-password" required>

<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>

<label for="phone">Phone Number:</label>

<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone">

<button type="submit">Register</button>
</form>
Input Validation:
Validation ensures that the data entered is in the correct format before it is processed or submitted.
1. Username Validation:
o Must not be empty and can be checked for a minimum length (e.g., 5 characters).

o Example validation (JavaScript):

var username = document.getElementById('username').value;

if (username.length < 5) {
alert("Username must be at least 5 characters.");
}
2. Password Validation:
o Ensure the password is not empty, contains at least one uppercase letter, one number,
and is of a minimum length (e.g., 8 characters).
o Example validation:

var password = document.getElementById('password').value;

var passwordRegex = /^(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d).{8,}$/;
if (!passwordRegex.test(password)) {
alert("Password must contain at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, and one number.");
}
3. Confirm Password Validation:
 o Ensure the "Confirm Password" field matches the "Password" field.

o Example validation:

var confirmPassword = document.getElementById('confirm-password').value;

if (password !== confirmPassword) {
alert("Passwords do not match.");
}
4. Email Validation:
o Ensure the email is in the correct format using regular expressions.

o Example validation:

var email = document.getElementById('email').value;

var emailRegex = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$/;
if (!emailRegex.test(email)) {
alert("Please enter a valid email.");
}
5. Phone Number Validation (optional):
o Ensure the phone number is in the correct format (e.g., 10 digits).

o Example validation:

var phone = document.getElementById('phone').value;

var phoneRegex = /^\d{10}$/;
if (!phoneRegex.test(phone)) {
alert("Please enter a valid 10-digit phone number.");
}
6. Form Submission:
o If all validations pass, the form can be submitted; otherwise, it displays appropriate
error messages.
Example:
document.getElementById('registration-form').onsubmit = function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // Prevent form submission
// Perform all validation checks here
// If all valid, submit form (e.g., through AJAX)
};
Summary:
 Form Design: A simple HTML form with fields like username, password, confirm password,
email, and phone number.
 Validation: Ensure data correctness by checking fields for length, format, and matching
values (username, password, email, phone).
 JavaScript: Handles the validation logic and prevents form submission if any field fails
validation.
 Module 1: Web Evolution, Semantic Web, CMS, and Web Analytics

1) Semantic Web Stack

The Semantic Web Stack is a conceptual framework enabling machines to process and understand
data on the web. It consists of layered technologies that progressively build from basic data

6) Four Significant Features of the N-Triples Language in the Semantic Web

1. Triple Representation
 N-Triples encodes data as subject-predicate-object triples.
 Represents facts about a resource in the form:
o Subject: The resource or entity.

o Predicate: The property or attribute of the subject.

o Object: The value or associated resource.

 Example:
_:john <http://example.org/name> "John" .
2. Human-Readable Text Format
 N-Triples uses a simple plain-text format, making it both human-readable and machine-
processable.
 Each triple is on a new line and ends with a period.
 Example:
<http://example.org/person/john> <http://example.org/age> "25" .
<http://example.org/person/john> <http://example.org/name> "John Doe" .
3. Support for Blank Nodes
 N-Triples supports blank nodes (anonymous resources without a URI).
 Useful for relationships between resources without needing unique identifiers.

Example:
_ :b1 <http://example.org/hasAge> "30" .
_ :b1 is an anonymous resource.
4. Simple Syntax and Flexibility
 The syntax is simple and consistent, with the ability to use URIs, literals, or blank nodes as
objects.
  N-Triples can represent diverse data types within RDF format.
 Examples of Object Types:
o URI: <http://example.org/person/john>

o Literal: "John Doe"

o Blank Node: _:b1

Conclusion N-Triples is a straightforward, readable, and flexible format for encoding RDF data.
It supports easy data representation, ensuring interoperability within the Semantic Web while
being machine-processable and human-readable.

7) Difference Between Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0

Feature Web 1.0 Web 2.0 Web 3.0

Time Period 1990s – Early 2000s 2004 – Present Emerging (Current and future)

Core Focus Information display User engagement and Trust, decentralization, and
sharing ownership

Explanation:
1. Web 1.0 (Static Web):
o The first version of the internet, primarily made up of static, read-only websites.

o Users could only view information, with limited or no interaction.

o Example: Early search engines like Yahoo! and simple informational websites.
 2. Web 2.0 (Social Web):
o Introduced dynamic content, social interaction, and user-generated content.

o Users became active participants, contributing content and interacting with websites.

o Example: Social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia.

3. Web 3.0 (Semantic/Decentralized Web):

o The next phase focusing on decentralization, AI, blockchain, and greater user control
over data.
o Data storage is distributed, with blockchain ensuring privacy and transparency.

o Example: Ethereum, decentralized applications (dApps), and smart contracts.

Module 2: TypeScript (TS) Concepts

Q1. Differentiate between JavaScript and TypeScript with Examples
JavaScript and TypeScript are both widely used in web development. TypeScript builds on JavaScript
by adding features like static typing, making it more suitable for large-scale applications.
Definition:
 JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted, dynamically typed scripting language mainly used
for client-side web development.
 TypeScript is a statically typed superset of JavaScript developed by Microsoft that needs to
be compiled into JavaScript.
Comparison Table:

Feature JavaScript TypeScript

Type System Dynamically typed Statically typed (optional typing)

Compilation Interpreted by browsers Compiled to JavaScript before execution

Error Detection Errors found at runtime Errors detected at compile-time

Tooling Support Basic code suggestions Strong autocompletion, interfaces, refactoring

Learning Curve Easy for beginners Slightly harder due to types and syntax

Object-Oriented Features Uses prototypes Supports classes, interfaces, and generics

Code Maintainability Harder in large codebases Better suited for large-scale projects

Browser Support Runs natively in all browsers Needs to be transpiled to JavaScript

Primary Use Front-end scripting Large application development (e.g., Angular)

Extension Of – Superset of JavaScript

Example:
JavaScript: TypeScript:

function greet(name) { function greet(name: string): string {

return "Hello " + name; return "Hello " + name;
} }
console.log(greet("Alice")); console.log(greet("Alice"));
In the TypeScript version, types ensure that only strings are passed and returned, providing type
safety.
Conclusion: JavaScript is suitable for lightweight scripting, while TypeScript is better for larger
applications due to features like static typing and enhanced tooling. TypeScript helps catch errors
early, improves maintainability, and supports modern programming concepts.

Q2) Difference Between var and let in TypeScript & Function Overloading
1. Difference Between var and let

Feature var let

Scope Function-scoped Block-scoped (if, for, etc.)

Hoisting Hoisted and initialized as undefined Hoisted but not initialized

Redeclaration Allowed in the same scope Not allowed in the same scope

Global Pollution Higher chance of accidental globals Reduces risk of global variable leaks

Best Practice Older JavaScript usage Preferred in modern TypeScript/JavaScript

Example:

function testVarLet() {
if (true) {
var x = 10;
let y = 20;
}
console.log(x); // Output: 10
console.log(y); // Error: y is not defined (block scoped)
}
2. Function Overloading in TypeScript
Function overloading allows a function to have multiple signatures with the same name but different
parameter types or numbers.
How It Works:
 Declare multiple function overload signatures.
 Provide one implementation that handles all overloads.
Example:
// Overload Signatures
function add(a: number, b: number): number;
function add(a: string, b: string): string;

// Single Implementation

function add(a: any, b: any): any {

return a + b;
}

console.log(add(5, 10)); // Output: 15

console.log(add("Hello, ", "TS")); // Output: Hello, TS
TypeScript uses the matching signature during compilation to ensure type safety.
Conclusion:
 Prefer let over var for better scoping and fewer bugs.
 Function overloading adds flexibility and type safety by supporting different input types with
a single function.

Q3) Explain Multilevel Inheritance in TypeScript with Example

Multilevel inheritance is a class inheritance model where a class is derived from another derived class,
forming a chain:
Base Class → Derived Class → Sub-Derived Class
Each class inherits properties and methods from its immediate parent, allowing access to all ancestor
members.
In TypeScript:
Implemented using the extends keyword.
Example:

// Base Class
class Animal {
eat() {
console.log("Animal is eating");
}
}

// Derived Class
class Dog extends Animal {
bark() {
console.log("Dog is barking");
}
}

// Further Derived Class

class Puppy extends Dog {
weep() {
console.log("Puppy is weeping");
 }
}

// Object of most derived class

const myPet = new Puppy();
myPet.eat(); // Output: Animal is eating
myPet.bark(); // Output: Dog is barking
myPet.weep(); // Output: Puppy is weeping
Output:
Animal is eating
Dog is barking
Puppy is weeping
Key Points:
 The Puppy class inherits methods from both Dog and Animal.
 Each class builds upon the features of its parent.
 Promotes modular, reusable, and hierarchical design.
Advantages:
 Encourages code reusability across multiple layers.
 Helps in organizing complex systems using a class hierarchy.
 Reduces code duplication and improves maintainability.
Conclusion: Multilevel inheritance in TypeScript allows a class to inherit from another derived class,
forming a structured class chain. It models real-world relationships effectively and results in clean,
extensible, and manageable code.

Q4) What is an Arrow Function in TypeScript? Explain with Example

An arrow function in TypeScript is a concise way to write function expressions using the => syntax.
It also lexically binds the this keyword, meaning this refers to the surrounding context rather than
the function scope.
Key Features:
 Shorter, cleaner syntax for function expressions.
 this is lexically scoped (taken from the surrounding context).
 Cannot be used as constructors.
 Does not have its own arguments object.
Syntax:
const functionName = (parameters) => {
// function body
}
Example:

// Traditional function expression

let addNumbers = function(a: number, b: number): number {
return a + b;
};

// Arrow function
let add = (a: number, b: number): number => {
return a + b;
};

// Shortened arrow function (for single-line return)

let addShort = (a: number, b: number): number => a + b;

console.log(add(5, 3)); // Output: 8

console.log(addShort(2, 3)); // Output: 5
Explanation:
 The arrow (=>) replaces the function keyword.
 If the function has a single return statement, the return keyword and curly braces can be
omitted.
 this inside an arrow function behaves predictably, referring to the enclosing lexical scope.
Key Points:
 Useful in callbacks, event handlers, and functional programming.
 Helps avoid common errors with this in traditional functions.
 Not suitable for defining object methods that require dynamic this.
Advantages:
 Concise Syntax: Reduces boilerplate and improves readability.
 Lexical this Binding: Prevents this-related bugs in asynchronous or callback code.
 Cleaner Code: Especially effective in array operations and inline functions.
Conclusion: Arrow functions in TypeScript simplify function expressions and ensure predictable this
behavior. They are a preferred choice in modern TypeScript for writing short, clean, and
maintainable code, especially in callback-heavy or asynchronous programming.

Q5) Explain how internal and external modules are used in TypeScript with suitable examples.
In TypeScript, modules help organize code into reusable, maintainable, and isolated units. There
are two types of modules:
1. Internal Modules (Namespaces) – used within a single file.
2. External Modules – used across multiple files using import and export.
1) Internal Modules (Namespaces)
An internal module (also called a namespace) groups related classes, interfaces, or functions within
a single file. This helps avoid naming conflicts and improves code organization.
Example:

namespace Animal {
export class Dog {
bark() {
console.log("Woof! Woof!");
}
}

export class Cat {

meow() {
console.log("Meow!");
}
}
}

// Using internal module

let dog = new Animal.Dog();
dog.bark(); // Output: Woof! Woof!

let cat = new Animal.Cat();

cat.meow(); // Output: Meow!
Key Points:
 Defined using the namespace keyword.
 Use export to make members accessible outside the namespace.
 Accessed using dot notation (Animal.Dog).
Advantages:
 Prevents name conflicts.
 Helps organize code logically inside a file.
 Useful for smaller applications or legacy code.

2) External Modules (Modern TypeScript)

External modules divide code across multiple files. Each .ts file is treated as a module. The export
keyword exposes members, and import is used to include them in other files.
Example:
dog.ts main.ts

export class Dog { import { Dog } from './dog';

bark() {
console.log("Woof! Woof!"); let myDog = new Dog();
} myDog.bark(); // Output: Woof! Woof!
}
Key Points:
 Uses export (in one file) and import (in another file).
 File paths are used to link modules (e.g., './dog').
 Most commonly used module system in modern TypeScript projects.
Advantages:
 Clean separation of concerns.
 Code reusability across large applications.
 Enables dependency management and bundling using tools like Webpack or ESBuild.
Summary Table:

Feature Internal Modules External Modules

(Namespace)

Scope Single file Across multiple files

Syntax namespace, export export, import

Usage Legacy or simple apps Modern apps, large projects

File Separation No Yes

Tooling Support Limited Full (with bundlers/compilers)

Conclusion: Both internal (namespaces) and external modules serve the purpose of code
organization. However, external modules are now the standard approach in TypeScript for building
scalable, maintainable applications due to ES6 module support and modern tooling.

Q6) Explain definite and indefinite loops in TypeScript with examples.

In TypeScript, loops are used to repeat a block of code multiple times. Based on whether the number
of iterations is known or unknown, loops are classified into:
1. Definite Loops – Run a known number of times
2. Indefinite Loops – Run an unknown number of times until a condition is met
1) Definite Loops
A definite loop executes a fixed number of times, determined before the loop starts.
Example 1: for Loop

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

console.log(`Iteration ${i}`);
}
Output:
Iteration 0
Iteration 1
Iteration 2
Iteration 3
Iteration 4
Explanation:
 i = 0: Initialization
 i < 5: Condition
 i++: Increment
 Loop runs exactly five times
Example 2: while Loop (Fixed Iteration)

let i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
console.log(`Iteration ${i}`);
i++;
}
Output: Same as the for loop above
Use Case: When the number of repetitions is known but a for loop is not suitable.
2) Indefinite Loops
An indefinite loop executes an unknown number of times, depending on a condition that changes
during runtime.
Example 1: while Loop with break

let i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
console.log(`Iteration ${i}`);
if (i === 2) {
break; // Exit the loop early
}
i++;
}
Output:
Iteration 0
Iteration 1
Iteration 2
Explanation:
 The loop starts with i = 0 and continues while i < 5
 When i === 2, the loop breaks manually
Example 2: do-while Loop

let i = 0;
do {
console.log(`Iteration ${i}`);
i++;
} while (i < 5 && i !== 3);
Output:
Iteration 0
Iteration 1
Iteration 2
Explanation:
 The do block runs at least once
 The loop continues while i < 5 and i !== 3
 When i === 3, the loop ends
Key Differences

Feature Definite Loop Indefinite Loop

Iterations Known or fixed Unknown, dynamic condition

Examples for, while (with known limit) while, do-while, with break

Use Case Count-based execution Condition-based or user input loops

Conclusion:
 Definite loops like for and while are used when the number of iterations is known
beforehand.
 Indefinite loops like while and do-while are used when the loop must continue until a
condition is met.
 Understanding both types is essential for writing efficient and flexible code in TypeScript.
