JavaScript Basics

Definition: JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language primarily used for enhancing interactivity and functionality in web browsers.
Syntax:
- Case-sensitive language.
- Uses semicolons (;) to terminate statements (optional in many cases).
- Comments:
  - Single-line: // comment
  - Multi-line: /* comment */
Data Types:
- Primitive types:
  - String: Represented in single or double quotes (e.g., "Hello", 'World')
  - Number: Represents both integers and floats (e.g., 42, 3.14)
  - Boolean: Represents true or false
  - Undefined: Variable without a value (e.g., let x;)
  - Null: Represents an intentional absence of value (e.g., let y = null;)
  - Symbol: Unique and immutable data type (introduced in ES6)
Variables:
- Declaration using var, let, or const:
  - var: Function-scoped or globally scoped.
  - let: Block-scoped, allows re-assignment.
  - const: Block-scoped, cannot reassign once defined.
Operators:
- Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, %
- Comparison: ==, === (strict), !=, !==, <, >, <=, >=
- Logical: && (AND), || (OR), ! (NOT)
Control Structures:
- Conditional Statements:
  - if, else if, else
  - switch statement for multi-way branching.
- Loops:
  - for, while, do...while for repeating tasks.

Functions:

Function declaration:

function functionName(parameters) {
    // code to execute
}

Function expression:

const functionName = function(parameters) {
    // code to execute
};

Arrow functions (ES6):

const functionName = (parameters) => {
    // code to execute
};

Objects and Arrays:

Objects: Key-value pairs.

const obj = {
    key1: value1,
    key2: value2
};

Arrays: Ordered list of values.
```
const arr = [value1, value2, value3];
```

Events:
- Interaction with the browser using event listeners (e.g., click, load).
- Add event listeners using:
```
element.addEventListener('event', function);
```
DOM Manipulation:
- Access and change HTML elements using the Document Object Model.
- Common methods:
  - document.getElementById()
  - document.querySelector()
  - element.innerHTML
Debugging:
- Use console.log() for logging information.
- Browser developer tools for inspecting and debugging code.
ES6 Features:
- Template literals: Multi-line strings and string interpolation using backticks (`).
- Destructuring assignment for unpacking values from arrays or properties from objects.
Scope:
- Global scope: Variables defined outside functions.
- Local scope: Variables defined within functions.
Hoisting:
- Variable and function declarations are moved to the top of their containing scope during the compile phase.
Strict Mode:
- Enforced by adding "use strict"; at the beginning of a script or function to catch common coding mistakes.

JavaScript Overview

JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted language that enhances web interactivity and functionality.

Syntax Essentials

The language is case-sensitive and uses semicolons to terminate statements, though it's often optional.
Comments can be single-line (// comment) or multi-line (using /* comment */).

Data Types

Primitive Types include:
- String: Text encapsulated in single or double quotes (e.g., "Hello").
- Number: Represents integers and floats (e.g., 42, 3.14).
- Boolean: Two possible values: true or false.
- Undefined: Indicates a variable without an assigned value.
- Null: Represents the intentional absence of a value.
- Symbol: A unique, immutable type introduced in ES6.

Variables

Variables can be declared using:
- var: Function-scoped or globally scoped.
- let: Block-scoped and allows re-assignment.
- const: Block-scoped with no re-assignment after definition.

Operators

Arithmetic Operators: Include addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and modulus (%).
Comparison Operators: Include equality (==), strict equality (===), inequality (!=), strict inequality (!==).
Logical Operators: Include conjunction (&&), disjunction (||), and negation (!).

Control Structures

Conditional Statements: Utilize if, else if, and else to control execution flow; use switch for multi-way branching.
Loops: Types include for, while, and do...while for repetitive tasks.

Functions

Definition using:

Function Declaration:

function functionName(parameters) {
    // code to execute
}

Function Expression:

const functionName = function(parameters) {
    // code to execute
};

Arrow Functions (ES6):

const functionName = (parameters) => {
    // code to execute
};

Objects and Arrays

Objects: Defined as key-value pairs.

const obj = {
    key1: value1,
    key2: value2
};

Arrays: An ordered list of values.
```
const arr = [value1, value2, value3];
```

Events

JavaScript interacts with the browser through event listeners such as click and load.

Event listeners are added using:

element.addEventListener('event', function);

DOM Manipulation

JavaScript accesses and modifies HTML elements via the Document Object Model (DOM).
Common methods include:
- document.getElementById()
- document.querySelector()
- Modifying element.innerHTML to change content.

Debugging Techniques

Utilize console.log() to log information during code execution.
Use browser developer tools to inspect and debug JavaScript code.

ES6 Features

Template Literals: Support multi-line strings and interpolation using backticks (`).
Destructuring Assignment: Allows unpacking values from arrays or properties from objects easily.

Scope

Global Scope: Variables defined outside of any function.
Local Scope: Variables defined within a function.

Hoisting

Variable and function declarations are lifted to the top of their containing scope during the compile phase.

Strict Mode

Activate strict mode by adding "use strict"; at the beginning of a script or function to prevent common coding errors.
