Reversing output of user input by using while loop...

Question

I'm new to programming and I've read and watched several resources about for, while loops, but everytime I write the while loop to reverse the output from the for loop, the code doesn't run properly. I'm sort of just guessing at this point.

Does anyone know of a good article/video to better understand reversing the output from user input by using a while loop?

I commented out the while loop I was working on.

What I have tried:

HTML

<html>
 
<body style="text-align:center;">
 
    <h1>Enter Your Five Favorite Cities</h1>
    <form class="" action="index.html">
        <input type="text" name="favoriteCities[]" value="" /><br>
        <br>
        <input type="text" name="favoriteCities[]" value="" /><br>
        <br>
        <input type="text" name="favoriteCities[]" value="" /><br>
        <br>
        <input type="text" name="favoriteCities[]" value="" /><br>
        <br>
        <input type="text" name="favoriteCities[]" value="" /><br>
    <br>
        <button type="button" name="button" onclick="favoriteCities()">Submit</button>
  
    </form>
 
    <h2>Results</h2>
 
    <p id="output"></p>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var r = "";
        function favoriteCities() {
            var input = document.getElementsByName('favoriteCities[]');
 
            for (var i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
                var a = input[i]; var uniqueNumber=i+1;
                r = r + "City #" + uniqueNumber + " is " + a.value + ("<br>");
            }
            
            document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = r;
            
            //while (4 = input.length) {
            //print (output)
            //}
        }
        
    </script>
    
</body>
 
</html>
