Study Notes
Data Types in JavaScript
- JavaScript has two types of data types: Primitive and Non-primitive (Reference) data types.
Operators in JavaScript
- There are several types of operators in JavaScript:
- Arithmetic Operators: used to perform arithmetic operations on operands
- Comparison (Relational) Operators: compare two operands
- Bitwise Operators: perform bitwise operations on operands
- Logical Operators: determine the logic between variables or values
- Assignment Operators: assign a value to a variable
- Special Operators: (?:) &, etc.
Arrow Functions
- Arrow functions were introduced in ES6 and allow for shorter function syntax
- An arrow function consists of three parts:
- Parameters: optional function parameters
- Fat arrow notation/lambda notation: the notation for the arrow (=>)
- Statements: the instruction set of the function
Conditional Statements
- Conditional statements are used to decide the flow of execution based on different conditions
- There are several types of conditional statements in JavaScript:
- if: specifies a block of code to be executed if a specified condition is true
- else: specifies a block of code to be executed if the same condition is false
- else if: specifies a new condition to test if the first condition is false
- switch: specifies many alternative blocks of code to be executed
Loops in JavaScript
- Loops are used to iterate a piece of code using for, while, do while, or for-in loops
- JavaScript supports different kinds of loops:
- for: loops through a block of code a number of times
- for/in: loops through the properties of an object
- for/of: loops through the values of an iterable object
- while: loops through a block of code while a specified condition is true
- do/while: also loops through a block of code while a specified condition is true
Functions in JavaScript
- A JavaScript function is a block of code designed to perform a particular task
- JavaScript functions are used to perform operations and have several advantages:
- Code reusability: can be called multiple times
- Less coding: makes the program more compact
Types of Functions in JavaScript
- There are two main types of functions in JavaScript:
- Named Functions (Function Declarations): a function with a name that can be used as a callback
- Anonymous Functions (Function Expressions): a function without a name, often used as a one-time callback
Learn about JavaScript data types, including primitive and non-primitive types, and understand how to use various operators such as arithmetic, assignment, and more.
