    Study Notes

    JavaScript Programming Language

    • JavaScript is a versatile programming language used for web-page manipulation, mobile apps, game development, and server-side scripting.

    Table of Contents

    • Introduction
    • Problem & Solution
    • Variables & Datatypes
    • Operators & Control Flows
    • Functions
    • Modern JavaScript (ES6+)

    What is JavaScript?

    • JavaScript is more than just a language for manipulating web pages
    • It's a versatile programming language used in a wide range of applications, including web development, mobile apps, games, and even server-side scripting.
    • JavaScript's core strength lies in its ability to add interactivity and dynamism to web pages.

    Why Study JavaScript?

    • Ubiquitous & Essential: JavaScript is a crucial part of modern websites, powering animations, dynamic forms, and user interactions.
    • Versatile Toolset: JavaScript extends beyond web pages, being used in mobile applications, game development, and server-side scripting with frameworks like Node.js.
    • Beginner-Friendly: JavaScript has a clear and concise syntax, with abundant learning resources available.

    The Main Parts of JavaScript

    • ECMAScript: Provides the core functionalities of JavaScript (as a standard).
    • DOM (Document Object Model): Provides interfaces to interact with elements on web pages.
    • BOM (Browser Object Model): Offers an Application Programming Interface (API) for interacting with web browsers.

    Getting Started

    • Linking HTML and CSS to JavaScript.
    • Getting acquainted with the web console.

    Problem & Solution

    • Techniques for approaching, analyzing, and finding solutions to everyday and programming challenges
    • Breaking down problems
    • Identifying inputs and outputs
    • Providing test cases and expected results

    Problem-Solving Techniques

    • Techniques are used for tackling challenging problems in everyday situations, in programming, engineering, and design.

    • Examples of solving problems include:

    • Writing a Program to Calculate Area and Perimeter of a Rectangle or Square

    • Writing a Program to Find the Height of a Human

    • Writing a Text Manipulator program

    • Writing a Program to Find the Area and Circumference of a Circle

    • Writing a Basic Calculator (Arithmetic Operations)

    • Writing a Program for planning a child future education (determining investment amounts)

    • Writing A Simple Unit Converter

    Variables & Datatypes

    • Variables are containers for storing data.
    • Keywords like var, let, and const are used to declare them.
    • Data types specify the kind of data stored in a variable (e.g., numbers, strings, booleans).

    Data Type Categories

    • Primitive Data Types:

      • Number
      • String
      • Boolean
      • Null
      • Undefined
    • Complex Data Types:

      • Object
      • Array
    • JavaScript uses dynamic typing, meaning the type of a variable is determined at runtime.

    Null and Undefined Data Types

    • null represents the intentional absence of a value.
    • undefined indicates that a variable has been declared but hasn't been assigned a value.

    Boolean and Number Data Types

    • boolean values are true or false.
    • number data types represent numerical values (both integers and decimals).

    String Data Types

    • String data types represent sequences of characters.

    Objects and Arrays Data Types

    • Objects: Store collections of key-value pairs.
    • Arrays: Store ordered lists of values.
    • Includes how to access values in Objects and Arrays.

    Operators & Control Flow

    • Operators are symbols that perform actions on values.
    • Arithmetic, logical, assignment, comparison, and other operators are used.
    • Example Operators : Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*), Division (/), Remainder (%), Modulus (%), Logical AND (&&), Logical OR (||), Logical NOT (!).
    • JavaScript operators are symbols used by JavaScript to perform actions on values. Example: Addition (+), multiplication (*), division(/), subtraction(-). A comparison operator compares two elements.

    Control Flow

    • JavaScript follows a specific order for executing code.
    • Control statements (e.g., if, else if, else, switch, for, while) manage the flow of code execution based on conditions or loops.

    Functions

    • Functions are reusable blocks of code.
    • Function declaration and calling; includes parameters and return values.

    Reading Assignments

    • Research different types of functions.
    • Research built-in functions (or methods) of JavaScript.

    Alternative Resources

    • Links to external resources.
