JavaScript Beginner Notes

Introduction to JavaScript

- What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a programming language used to make web pages interactive. It runs in the browser and

allows you to create dynamic and responsive user interfaces.

- How JavaScript works with HTML and CSS:

HTML gives structure, CSS styles it, and JavaScript adds interactivity. You can embed JavaScript in HTML

using the <script> tag.

- Where JS runs:

JavaScript mainly runs in web browsers, but it can also run on servers using environments like Node.js.

- Basic Syntax:

Use 'console.log()' to print messages to the browser console.

Example:

console.log("Hello, world!");

- Developer Tools:

Most browsers have Developer Tools (press F12) to see the Console, inspect HTML/CSS, and debug JS

code.

Variables and Data Types

- Variables:

Variables store data. You can use 'var', 'let', or 'const' to declare variables.

Example:

let name = "John";

const age = 25;

- Data Types:

- String: "Hello"

- Number: 42

- Boolean: true or false

- Null: empty value

- Undefined: declared but not assigned

- Basic operations:

Strings: concatenation with +, template literals with backticks (`)

Numbers: +, -, *, /

- Example:

let greeting = "Hello, " + name;

console.log(greeting);

Operators and Conditions

- Comparison Operators:

== (equal), === (strict equal), != (not equal), !== (strict not equal), >, <, >=, <=

- Logical Operators:

&& (and), || (or), ! (not)

- Conditional Statements:

Use if, else if, and else to run different code based on conditions.

- Example:

let age = 18; if (age >= 18) {

console.log("You are an adult.");

} else { console.log("You are

a minor.");

- Practical:

Create a script that checks if the user is old enough to access a site using prompt and alert.
