Study Notes

Working Environment

Multiple code editors exist: Sublime Text, Notepad++, Atom, Bracket, etc.
Many extensions are available to enhance code editor functionality.
Node.js provides a Javascript engine for running JavaScript code in environments like Visual Studio Code.
Node.js also enables building network applications using its built-in webserver.
Visual Studio Code is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that offers advanced features for code editing, debugging, and project management.
VSCode provides user and workspace settings to customize the environment.
VSCode has a marketplace for extensions, including Code Runner, Live Server, Prettier, Wrap Console Log, Live Share, and more.

Lexical Grammar

Javascript is a case-sensitive language.
Statements are terminated with a semicolon.
Comments are indicated by "//" for single-line comments, or by enclosing text within "/" and "/" for multi-line comments.
JavaScript code is executed in a browser, displaying results in the browser console using console.log().

Declarations & Types

Variables are used to store data and are declared using the keywords "var", "let", or "const".
Variable names must follow these rules:
- Start with a letter, underscore (_), or dollar sign ($).
- Subsequent characters can be letters, numbers, underscores, or dollar signs.
- Case sensitivity applies.
- Avoid accents (à, ü, etc.), even if permitted by the engine.
Constants, declared using "const", cannot be reassigned after their initial declaration.
Arrays are used to store lists of data.
Each element in an array has an index (an integer key), starting from 0.
Arrays can be declared using the array constructor (new Array()) or using array literals.
Accessing array elements is done using their index positions.

Expressions and Operators

Assignment operators: "=".
Arithmetic operators: "+", "-", "*", "/", "%".
Arithmetic and assignment operators: "+=", "-=", "*=", "/=" etc.
Incrementing and decrementing operators: "++i" (pre-increment), "i++" (post-increment), "--i", "i--".
String or concatenation operator: "+", "+=".
Comparison operators: "==", "!=", ">", ">=", "<", "<=".
