- JavaScript has seven primitive data types: string, number, Boolean, null, undefined, BigInt, and symbol.
- Strings represent text, while numbers represent numerical values.
- Strings must be enclosed in quotes. Numbers are written as plain numerical values.
- Strings have a theoretically infinite length, while numbers have a limited range.
Boolean
- Boolean values can be either
true
orfalse
. - These are used in conditional statements to control program flow.
Null and Undefined
null
represents the intentional absence of a value.undefined
designates a variable that has not been assigned a value.
