However, the one caveat is that when declaring variables such as the iterator for traversing a loop, you should not use the 'var' or 'let' keyword. For reference, you can see the Javascript documentation for loops/conditionals here:</p> <p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_loop_while.asp">While loops</a></p> <p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_loop_for.asp">For loops</a></p> <p><a class="reference external" href="https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_if_else.asp">Conditionals (If/Else statements)</a></p> <p>Here are some simple code examples that show the use of loops and conditionals in Netscript.</p> <p>The following is a while loop that runs the hack() Netscript function ten times:</p> <div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">i</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="k">while</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">i</span> <span class="o"><</span> <span class="mi">10</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="n">hack</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'foodnstuff'</span><span class="p">);</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="p">}</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>The following is a for loop that runs the hack() Netscript function ten times:</p> <div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">for</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="n">i</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="n">i</span> <span class="o"><</span> <span class="mi">10</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="o">++</span><span class="n">i</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="n">hack</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"foodnstuff"</span><span class="p">);</span> <span class="p">}</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>The following is a conditional that uses the getServerMoneyAvailable() Netscript function to check how much money exists on the 'foodnstuff' server.
