JavaScript for Beginners #42 Coding Challenge 6

Here, we will have a coding challenge that focuses on what we have learned with functions and loops.

0:00 Laying out the coding challenge
2:03 Creating our function
2:38 Creating a for loop
6:10 Fixing our ending for 3rd, 2nd, and 1st places
8:00 Adding in a 1st place emoji
9:10 Fixing our application to return a string
10:30 Using \n to create new lines in our application
11:15 Adding additional people to our array

//Create a function that takes in a multi-dimmensional array of the participants in a weight lifting contest, along with the total amount lifted.
//The function should print the name of the person, the amounts they lifted, and their place in the contest. The order should go backwards and give a trophy to the first place person.
//Modify the array to have more people and show that it still works. Let's use a max of 10 participants.

const malelifters = [["Jamie", 1050], ["Mark", 1020], ["Steven", 990], ["Max", 980], ["Gerald", 970], ["Brad", 955], ["Alex", 920]];
const femalelifters = [["Jenny", 400], ["Megan", 385], ["Alice", 365], ["Beth", 350], ["Becky", 320], ["Amanda", 300], ["Candice", 290], ["Jessica", 250], ["Mary", 220], ["Linda", 200]];

I started writing the if else statement for "myPlace" variable, but then I thought wait! GreeneMath will probably want to reinforce the switch statement with this task, so I ended up achiveving the same result with the switch statement :) P.S. The audio quality is top notch!

Hi! When or in which type of scenarios would you say it's recommended to use the for loop and while loop?
