[removed] confused about how nested for loops work

Question

Why do nested for loops work in the way that they do in the following example:

var times = [
            [\"04/11/10\", \"86kg\"], 
                     


        

Answer 1

// remember that the increment of the counter variable
// is always executed after each run of a loop


for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    // some statement(s) to do something.. 

        // initializes child-loop counter in the first run of the parent-loop
        // resets child-loop counter in all following runs of the parent-loop
        // while i is greater than 0 and lower than n

    for (var j = 0; j < p; j++) {
        // some statement(s) to do something..

            // initializes grandchild-loop counter in the first run of the child-loop
            // resets grandchild-loop counter in all following runs of the child-loop
            // while j is greater than 0 and lower than p

        for (var k = 0; k < q; k++) {
            // some statement(s) to do something..
            // or add more internal loop-nestings if you like..
        }
    }
}

// if the counter variables of the descendent-loops were set before the loop-nesting,
// the inner loops would only run once, because the counter would keep the value
// of the abortion condition after the loop is finished
