Think of it like you're just calling JavaScript functions. You can't use a for loop where the arguments to a function call would go:

return tbody(
    for (let i = 0; i < numrows; i++) {
        ObjectRow()
    } 
)

See how the function tbody is being passed a for loop as an argument – leading to a syntax error.

But you can make an array, and then pass that in as an argument:

const rows = [];
for (let i = 0; i < numrows; i++) {
    rows.push(ObjectRow());
}
return tbody(rows);

You can basically use the same structure when working with JSX:

const rows = [];
for (let i = 0; i < numrows; i++) {
    // note: we are adding a key prop here to allow react to uniquely identify each
    // element in this array. see: https://reactjs.org/docs/lists-and-keys.html
    rows.push(<ObjectRow key={i} />);
}
return <tbody>{rows}</tbody>;

Incidentally, my JavaScript example is almost exactly what that example of JSX transforms into. Play around with Babel REPL to get a feel for how JSX works.

Hi

The render method of your component, or your stateless component function, returns the elements to be rendered.

If you want to use a loop, that's fine:

render() {
    let menuItems = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < Users.length; i++) {
        menuItems.push(<MenuItem eventKey=[i]>User.firstname[i]</MenuItem>);
    }
    return <div>{menuItems}</div>;
}

More common would be to see a more functional style, such as using a map to return the array of elements:

render() {
    return <div>
    {
        Users.map((user, i) =>
            <MenuItem eventKey=[i]>User.firstname[i]</MenuItem>)
    }
    </div>;
}

Note that in either case, you are missing the key property from each element of your array, so you will see warnings. Each element in an array should have a unique key, preferably some form of ID rather than just the array index.
