    Study Notes

    Syntax

    • Variables: declared using let, const, or var keywords
    • Data Types:
      • Primitive: number, string, boolean, null, undefined
      • Complex: object, array, function
    • Operators:
      • Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, %, etc.
      • Comparison: ===, !==, &gt;, &lt;, &gt;= , &lt;=
      • Logical: &amp;&amp;, ||, !
    • Control Structures:
      • Conditional: if/else, switch
      • Loops: for, while, do...while
      • Functions: function keyword, =&gt; arrow function

    Event Handling

    • Events: user interactions (e.g., clicks, key presses) or browser events (e.g., page load)
    • Event Listeners: functions attached to elements to handle events
    • addEventListener: method to attach an event listener to an element
    • Event Object: provides information about the event (e.g., target, type, timestamp)

    Async Programming

    • Asynchronous: code that runs concurrently with other tasks
    • Callbacks: functions passed as arguments to other functions to handle async results
    • Promises: objects that represent async operations and their results
    • Async/Await: syntax sugar for working with promises
    • ** setTimeout**: method to schedule a function to run after a delay

    DOM Manipulation

    • Document Object Model (DOM): tree-like representation of HTML documents
    • Elements: nodes in the DOM tree
    • Selecting Elements: using document.getElementById, document.querySelector, etc.
    • Creating Elements: using document.createElement
    • Manipulating Elements: using innerHTML, textContent, appendChild, etc.

    Object-oriented Programming

    • Objects: collections of key-value pairs
    • Properties: key-value pairs within an object
    • Methods: functions within an object
    • Inheritance: creating new objects based on existing ones
    • Prototypal Inheritance: JavaScript's inheritance model
    • Constructor Functions: functions that create objects when called with new keyword

    Syntax

    • Variables are declared using let, const, or var keywords
    • There are two main categories of data types: primitive and complex
    • Primitive data types include number, string, boolean, null, and undefined
    • Complex data types include object, array, and function
    • Arithmetic operators include +, -, *, /, %, etc.
    • Comparison operators include ===, !==, &gt;, and &lt;

    Event Handling

    • Events are user interactions (e.g., clicks, key presses) or browser events (e.g., page load)
    • Event listeners are functions attached to elements to handle events
    • The addEventListener method is used to attach an event listener to an element
    • The Event Object provides information about the event, including target, type, and timestamp

    Async Programming

    • Asynchronous code runs concurrently with other tasks
    • Callbacks are functions passed as arguments to other functions to handle async results
    • Promises are objects that represent async operations and their results
    • Async/Await is a syntax sugar for working with promises
    • The setTimeout method is used to schedule a function to run after a delay

    DOM Manipulation

    • The Document Object Model (DOM) is a tree-like representation of HTML documents
    • Elements are nodes in the DOM tree
    • Elements can be selected using document.getElementById, document.querySelector, etc.
    • New elements can be created using document.createElement
    • Elements can be manipulated using innerHTML, textContent, appendChild, etc.

    Object-oriented Programming

    • Objects are collections of key-value pairs
    • Properties are key-value pairs within an object
    • Methods are functions within an object
    • Inheritance is the process of creating new objects based on existing ones
    • JavaScript uses a prototypal inheritance model
    • Constructor functions are functions that create objects when called with the new keyword
