var x = 10;// this will create variable x of type number
console.log(x);
console.log(typeof(x));
var y = "10";
console.log('y is of type :' + typeof(y));
y = parseInt(y);
console.log('y is of type :' + typeof(y));
z = false;
console.log('z is of type :' + typeof(z));
// Array is collectin of values
//[]-bracket
//()-paranthesis
//{}-braces
var aFruits = ["Apple","banana", "cherry"];
console.log(aFruits);
//Display First item of array
console.log("First Item:" + aFruits[0]);
// Last item pf array
console.log("Last Item:" + aFruits[aFruits.length-1]);
// Append item to the array
console.log("After adding new item:" + aFruits.push("PineApple"));
console.log("my array is now ---->" + aFruits);

console.log(aFruits.splice(1,0,"Mango"));
//After inserting item at index 1
console.log("After adding fruits at index 1 ---->" + aFruits);
//Remove from middle
console.log(aFruits.splice(2,1));
console.log("After remove at index 2 ------->" + aFruits);
//Loop over array

const element = aFruits[i];
console.log("item at position " + i + "------->" + element);
// Working with objects, they are like structures in ABAP, contains multiple
fileds of different type
var oEmployee = {

console.log("Employee name is " + oEmployee.empName);
oEmployee.salary = 20000;
console.log("new Salary of Sandeep is " ,oEmployee.salary);
// loop over json
for (const key in oEmployee) {
console.log(oEmployee[key]);
// ComplexJson combination of array and object
var complexJson = {
empTab : [],
cities : [],
gender : {}
