    hi,

    i have this problem. Is there a way i can create this using javascript loop and array.

    upload_2022-7-4_8-53-45.png

    as you can see, when i input 19,433.33 it will be subtracted by 1,766.67, then the difference will be displayed to the right which is 17,666.67, then subtracted again by 1,766.67. it will just do this until it reaches 0.00

    Can you enlighten me on how this will work using array and loop in javascript?

    Thank you

    This should do the trick: https://codepen.io/itamer/pen/MWVwGeV

    <table id='myTable' border='1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='5'>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td>19,433.33</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
    HTML:
    let amount = 19433.33;
let cost = 1766.67;
let table = document.getElementById("myTable");
let counter = 1;
do {
  amount = amount - cost;
  var row = table.insertRow(counter);

  // Insert new cells (<td> elements) at the 1st and 2nd position of the "new" <tr> element:
  var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
  var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);

  // Add some text to the new cells:
  cell1.innerHTML = cost;
  cell2.innerHTML = amount.toFixed(2);
  counter++;
} while (amount > cost);
    Code (JavaScript):

    Or to be a bit more "modern" about it.

    
<table>
  <tbody id="calc">
    <tr>
      <td>1766.67</td>
      <td>19433.33</td>
  </tbody>
</table>
    Code (markup):
    Then extract the value from the markup, and not use the possibly insecure and always slow innerHTML and instead use textContent like a good little doobie...

    {
  const
    calc = document.getElementById("calc"),
    reduce = +calc.rows[0].cells[0].textContent;
  let
    total = +calc.rows[0].cells[1].textContent;
  while (total > 0) {
    total -= reduce;
    let tr = calc.insertRow();
    tr.insertCell().textContent = reduce.toFixed(2);
    tr.insertCell().textContent = total.toFixed(2);
  }
}
    Code (markup):
    Also skipping a bunch of "variable for nothing" and showing the negative result.
