This for construct serves the purpose of iterating through the list of nodes, which are interlinked objects. The first part (let node = list) establishes the starting position of the list by storing it in the variable node. The second section (node) verifies the presence of node and as long as it is present (i.e. not null or undefined) the loop persists. The third aspect (node = node.rest) allows traversing to the subsequent node in the linked structure by accessing the rest reference that leads to the following node in the sequence.

The .rest is not a reserved word; it simply serves as an identifier for the child element, which is used to link the current chain to the next one, and is often referred to as .next in other such programs. The above loop continues in a serial manner visiting all the chain links until the last link is opened. It is like a path in which every move leads to another!

Please let me know if you have any further queries. I would be more than happy to answer
