Iterate with JavaScript For Loops/"Run The Tests" button doesn't work

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi!
I’m trying to run the test for my code, but the page keeps freezing every time I hit “Run the tests” button.
I’ve already refreshed page many times, cleared my cache, and tried to go to the next task, but the next task has the same issue.
I tried to check previous tasks, they worked. Issues start only with “loop” tasks.
Would anyone please help me with that?

Your code so far


// Example
var ourArray = [];

for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  ourArray.push(i);
}

// Setup
var myArray = [];
for (var a = 0; a > 0 || a < 6; a++){
  myArray.push(a);
}
// Only change code below this line.

To add to @camperextraordinaire’s answer (because this would’ve been helpful way down the road had I learned it earlier) the || not only asks if any of the statements are true, but it also defaults to the first expression that results as true. This is useful when choosing return statements or setting variables:

const apiCall = someApi('all info') //pretend this either returns a large array, or NULL if nothing is available

return apiCall || true || 'no data' //if there's no data in apiCall it will default to the second "true," but it will never run a check on 'no data' since it already found a truthy value
