How to stop a JavaScript for loop using append
I Have problem when using for and show data with append. Scrolling down and add 7 letters every time when user scroll to the bottom but when letters finish it gives me two more undefined i don’t know how to fix it. I tried break but without anything new.
Can you help me please. Thank you
var x = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"];
var xLength = x.length;
for (var i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
$("#testDiv").append(`
<p>` + i + ` : ` + x[i] + `</p>
`);
}
window.onscroll = function() {
if (window.scrollY > (document.body.offsetHeight - window.outerHeight)) {
console.log("It's working!");
}
}
window.onscroll = infiniteScroll;
var isExecuted = false;
function infiniteScroll() {
if (window.scrollY > (document.body.offsetHeight - window.outerHeight) && !isExecuted) {
isExecuted = true;
var fromItem = $("#testDiv").children().length;
for (var i = fromItem;
(i < fromItem + 7) && (xLength > fromItem); i++) {;
$("#testDiv").append(`
<p>` + i + ` : ` + x[i] + `</p>
`);
}
setTimeout(() => {
isExecuted = false;
}, 1000);
}

var x = [...'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz']
for (var i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
if(x[i]){$("#testDiv").append(`<p>${i+1}: ${x[i]} </p>`);}
}
window.onscroll = infiniteScroll();
function infiniteScroll() {
var fromItem = $("#testDiv").children().length;
for (var i = fromItem; i <= x.length; i++) {
if(x[i]){$("#testDiv").append(`<p>${i+1}: ${x[i]} </p>`);}
}

I made the code a little more readable and fixed the problem using a if statement
