JavaScript Student Notes

JavaScript is a versatile and powerful programming language primarily used for web
development. It enables interactive features on websites and runs on the client side, but it
can also be used on the server side with environments like Node.js.

1. Basics of JavaScript
JavaScript is a programming language that allows you to implement complex features on
web pages, such as dynamically updating content, controlling multimedia, and handling
events.

Key Features:

 - Lightweight and interpreted


 - Event-driven
 - Object-oriented

2. Variables and Data Types


Variables can be declared using `var`, `let`, and `const`.

Data Types in JavaScript:

 - Primitive: Number, String, Boolean, Null, Undefined, Symbol, BigInt


 - Non-Primitive: Objects and Arrays

3. Functions
Functions allow you to write reusable code blocks.
Example:

```javascript
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}
```

4. Control Structures
Control structures include:

 - Conditional Statements: if, else if, else, switch


 - Loops: for, while, do-while, forEach

5. Objects and Arrays


Objects store key-value pairs, and arrays store indexed collections of data.

Example Object:

```javascript
const student = { name: 'Alice', age: 20, major: 'CS' };
```

Example Array:

```javascript
const fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'];
```

6. DOM Manipulation
The Document Object Model (DOM) represents the structure of a webpage.

Example:

```javascript
document.getElementById('myElement').innerText = 'Hello, World!';
```

7. ES6 Features
Some key ES6 features include:

 - Arrow Functions
 - Template Literals
 - Destructuring
 - Modules
 - Promises and Async/Await
8. Asynchronous JavaScript
Asynchronous programming in JavaScript is achieved using callbacks, promises, and
async/await.

Example of a Promise:

```javascript
fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
```

9. Debugging and Tools


Debugging JavaScript code can be done using:

 - Browser Developer Tools


 - Console.log statements
 - Debugger keyword
