| 62 | ## Loops |
|
| 63 | Now if we want to place multiple blocks at once of course we will need a loop! JS uses 3 types of loop; "while" loop, "do while" loop and "for" loop. In this scenario we will use the "for" loop. |

| 64 | 75 | Objects `{}` works almost similarly to arrays but unlike it is not considered a collection of value but instead a single value composed of other values called "properties" and functions called "methods". Lets take for example a ball, you will ask, how bouncy is this ball? what is its radius? just like this ball an object has its own properties to determine its characteristics. Using it lets try to make a simple structure. |

| 79 | properties are values that represent chracteristics of an object it can be any value type or a function. As you can see in our example we made the object `justATree`which contains properties named `position` and `component`. Using this properties lets try to make a method that will build the tree! |
