Study Notes
JavaScript Fundamentals
- JavaScript is a programming language, used to create interactive web pages
- Comparison operators allow comparing values
-
==
(equal to) checks only value -
===
(equal in value and type) checks value and type -
!=
(not equal to) checks only value -
!==
(not equal in value or type) checks value and type -
>
(greater than) -
<
(less than) -
>=
(greater than or equal to) -
<=
(less than or equal to)
Boolean Types
- Boolean values represent logical states
-
true
orfalse
Conditional Statements
-
if-else
statements control program flow, based on conditions - If the condition result is
true
the block of code is executed -
switch
statements handle multiple conditions - The
switch
statement checks if a given variable or expression equals a case value and then executes the statements associated with that case. If no matching case is found, the optionaldefault
statements may be executed.
Logical Operators
- Logical operators combine conditions using Boolean logic to evaluate to
true
orfalse
-
||
(OR): Returnstrue
if at least one operand istrue
-
&&
(AND): Returnstrue
if both operands aretrue
-
!
(NOT): Negates a Boolean expression (e.g.,!true
isfalse
)
Conditional Operator (Ternary Operator)
- The conditional operator '? :' provides a compact way to express an
if-else
statement -
condition
?expression1
:expression2
Falsy Values
- Certain values in JavaScript are considered false when used in a Boolean context
- Examples include
false
,null
,undefined
,0
,-0
,NaN
,''
(empty string) -
if
statement conditional tests if a variable is defined or not
Functions
- Functions are reusable blocks of code, accepting parameters and returning values
- Parameters are values passed to a function (inputs)
- Functions perform actions via their function body
- Functions may return a value to the function's caller
Practical examples
- Various example code snippets showing practical applications of these concepts are provided in slides (e.g. using
prompt
,alert
, andconsole.log
).
