Study Notes

JavaScript in HTML

JavaScript code can be embedded within HTML using the <script> tag.
Code within <script> tags is executed automatically by the browser.
Modern HTML does not require the type or language attributes for the <script> tag.
External JavaScript files can be linked using the src attribute.
This improves page load speed through caching and separates JavaScript logic from HTML.
A <script> tag cannot include both an src attribute and internal code; internal code is ignored if src is present.

JavaScript Variables

Variables are named storage locations for data.
The let keyword is used to declare variables.
Assign values using the assignment operator =.
Variables can be declared and assigned in a single line, e.g., let message = 'Hello'.

Variable Naming Rules

Variable names contain letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and the symbols $ and _.
Variable names cannot start with a number.
Examples of valid variable names: userName, test123, $, _2.
Examples of invalid variable names: 1a, my-name.

Constants

Use the const keyword to declare a constant variable.
Constant values are known before execution.
Uppercase names are often used for constants.
Attempting to reassign a constant results in an error.

Variable Naming Best Practices

Choose human-readable names.
Avoid abbreviations unless obvious.
Keep names descriptive and concise.
Good examples: userName, productPrice.
Bad examples: a, val.

Data Types in JavaScript

JavaScript values have types like strings, numbers, Booleans, and others.
JavaScript is dynamically typed; variables can change types.
typeof operator returns the type of a value as a string.
Number type includes integers and floating-point numbers.
Special numbers include Infinity, -Infinity, and NaN (Not a Number).

String Type

Strings are enclosed in single, double, or backticks.
Backticks allow embedded expressions using ${...}.

Boolean Type

Boolean type has two values: true and false.
Often used for comparisons like 4 > 1, which returns true.

Null and Undefined Values

null represents "nothing".
undefined means a variable has been declared but not assigned a value.
null is an object, but undefined is not and null == undefined is true whereas null === undefined evaluates to false.

JavaScript Operators

typeof operator returns the data type of a variable.

Interaction Methods

alert() displays a message in a modal window.
prompt() displays a modal window with input fields.
confirm() displays a modal window with "OK" and "Cancel" buttons.

Type Conversion

JavaScript automatically converts data types in many cases.
Functions such as String(), Number(), or Boolean() can be used for explicit type conversion.

Math Operators

JavaScript performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, remainder operation, and exponentiation using standard operators (e.g., +, -, *, /, %, **).

Assignment Operator

The assignment operator (=) assigns a value to a variable.

Increment and Decrement Operators

Increment (++) and decrement (--) operators increase or decrease a variable.
Prefix ++x returns the new value and post fix x++ returns the old value before the increment happens

Comparison Operators

These operators compare values and return true or false.
Common operators include >, <, >=, <=, ==, !=, ===, and !==.

The if Statement

Used to execute code conditionally based on a condition.
Boolean conversion takes place inside if statements.

else and else if for condition handling

Used to handle cases of false conditions.

Conditional (ternary) Operator

Shorthand for if-else for simple conditions.

Logical Operators

&& (AND), || (OR), and ! (NOT) perform logical operations.
|| returns the first truthy value.
&& returns the first falsy value.
! negates the boolean value.

Loops

while loops repeat code while a condition is true.
do...while loops execute code at least once then continue.
for loops are used for a known number of iterations.

Variable Scope

Variables declared within a loop are not accessible outside the loop.
Global variables remain accessible after the loop.
