simple Javascript

Certainly! Let's look at some simple examples of JavaScript code to illustrate some basic
concepts.

1. Hello, World!

javascript

// Print "Hello, World!" to the console

console.log("Hello, World!");

48/76
This basic example uses console.log() to output the text "Hello, World!" to the browser's
console.

2. Variables and Data Types

javascript

// Declare variables and assign values

let message = "Welcome to JavaScript!";
let number = 42;
let isTrue = true;

// Print variables to the console

console.log(message);
console.log("Number:", number);
console.log("Boolean:", isTrue);

Here, we declare variables with different data types (string, number, boolean) and print them to the
console.

3. Functions

javascript

// Define a simple function

function greet(name) {
return "Hello, " + name + "!";
}

// Call the function and print the result

let greeting = greet("John");
console.log(greeting);

This example defines a function called greet that takes a parameter (name) and returns a greeting.
We then call the function with an argument and print the result.

4. Conditional Statements

49/76
 javascript

let temperature = 25;

// Use a conditional statement to determine the weather

if (temperature > 30) {
console.log("It's a hot day!");
} else if (temperature >= 20 && temperature <= 30) {
console.log("The weather is pleasant.");
} else {
console.log("It's cold outside.");
}

This snippet uses an if-else statement to determine the type of weather based on the
temperature.

5. Loops

javascript

// Use a loop to print numbers from 1 to 5

for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
console.log("Number:", i);
}

Here, a for loop is used to iterate over numbers from 1 to 5 and print them to the console.

6. Event Handling (Browser-Side)

In this HTML file, JavaScript is used to add an event listener to a button. When the button is
clicked, an alert will be shown.

These examples cover some fundamental concepts in JavaScript, such as variables, functions,
conditionals, loops, and event handling. Understanding these basics is essential for building more
complex applications and interactions.

variables

In JavaScript, variables are used to store and manage data. Variables are like containers that hold
values, and these values can change or be manipulated during the execution of a program. To
declare a variable in JavaScript, you use the let, const, or var keyword. Here are examples of
each:

1. let Keyword (Mutable, Block-Scoped):

51/76
 javascript

let myVariable = "Hello, World!";

let age = 25;

// Variables declared with 'let' can be reassigned

myVariable = "Updated value";

2. const Keyword (Immutable, Block-Scoped):

javascript

const PI = 3.14;
const appName = "MyApp";

// Variables declared with 'const' cannot be reassigned

// PI = 3.14159; // This will result in an error

3. var Keyword (Mutable, Function-Scoped - older approach, avoid using):

javascript

var x = 5;
var y = "JavaScript";

// Variables declared with 'var' can be reassigned

x = 10;

Basic Variable Types:

52/76
JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, which means you don't need to explicitly declare the
data type of a variable. The interpreter determines the type during runtime. Here are some basic
variable types:

javascript

let myString = "Hello, World!"; // String

let myNumber = 42; // Number
let isTrue = true; // Boolean
let myArray = [1, 2, 3]; // Array
let myObject = { key: "value" }; // Object
let myUndefined; // Undefined
let myNull = null; // Null

Variable Naming Rules:

Variable names must begin with a letter, underscore (_), or dollar sign ($).
Subsequent characters can also be digits (0-9).
Variable names are case-sensitive (myVariable and MyVariable are different).
Avoid using reserved keywords (let, const, var, function, etc.) as variable names.

Scope:

Variables declared with let and const are block-scoped, meaning they are only accessible
within the block where they are defined.
Variables declared with var are function-scoped. If declared outside any function, they have
global scope.
Avoid using var in modern JavaScript for better scoping practices.

Hoisting:

JavaScript has a concept called "hoisting," where variable and function declarations are moved to
the top of their containing scope during the compilation phase. However, only the declarations are
hoisted, not the initializations.

53/76
 javascript

console.log(myVar); // undefined
var myVar = 10;

Understanding these fundamental aspects of variables is crucial for working with JavaScript and
developing efficient and maintainable code.

functions

Functions are a fundamental building block in JavaScript, allowing you to encapsulate and reuse
code. In JavaScript, a function is a block of code that can be defined, named, and invoked (called)
as needed. Here are the basic components and usage of functions in JavaScript:

1. Function Declaration:

javascript

// Function declaration
function greet(name) {
console.log("Hello, " + name + "!");
}

In this example, greet is the function name, and name is a parameter. Parameters act as
placeholders for values that will be passed when the function is called.

2. Function Invocation:

54/76
 javascript

// Function invocation (calling the function)

greet("John");
// Output: Hello, John!

When you call or invoke a function, you provide values for the parameters. In this case, "John" is
passed as the value for the name parameter.

3. Return Statement:

javascript

// Function with a return statement

function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}

let result = add(3, 4);

console.log(result); // Output: 7

The return statement allows a function to produce a value. In this example, the add function
returns the sum of two parameters, and the result is stored in the variable result.

4. Function Expressions:

55/76
 javascript

// Function expression
const multiply = function(x, y) {
return x * y;
};

let product = multiply(5, 3);

console.log(product); // Output: 15

Functions can also be assigned to variables, and these are known as function expressions. The
function can then be invoked using the variable name.

5. Arrow Functions (ES6+):

javascript

// Arrow function
const square = (num) => num * num;

let squaredValue = square(4);

console.log(squaredValue); // Output: 16

Arrow functions provide a more concise syntax for writing functions. They are commonly used for
short, one-line functions.

6. Default Parameters (ES6+):

56/76
 javascript

// Function with default parameters

function greet(name = "Guest") {
console.log("Hello, " + name + "!");
}

greet(); // Output: Hello, Guest!

greet("John"); // Output: Hello, John!

Default parameters allow you to specify default values for function parameters. If a value is not
provided when the function is called, the default value is used.

7. Rest Parameters (ES6+):

javascript

// Function with rest parameters

function sum(...numbers) {
return numbers.reduce((total, num) => total + num, 0);
}

let totalSum = sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

console.log(totalSum); // Output: 15

Rest parameters allow a function to accept an indefinite number of arguments as an array.

8. Function Scope:

57/76
 javascript

// Variable scope within a function

function exampleFunction() {
let localVar = "I am a local variable";
console.log(localVar);
}

// console.log(localVar); // This would result in an error

Variables declared inside a function are local to that function and not accessible outside of it.

9. Callback Functions:

javascript

// Callback function
function doSomething(callback) {
console.log("Doing something...");
callback();
}

function callbackFunction() {
console.log("Callback function called.");
}

doSomething(callbackFunction);

Callback functions are functions passed as arguments to another function and executed later in
the program.

10. Higher-Order Functions:

58/76
 javascript

// Higher-order function
function higherOrderFunction(operation, a, b) {
return operation(a, b);
}

function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}

let result = higherOrderFunction(add, 3, 4);

console.log(result); // Output: 7

Higher-order functions are functions that take other functions as parameters or return functions.

Understanding these concepts will enable you to write modular and reusable code in JavaScript.
Functions play a crucial role in organizing logic and promoting code maintainability.

conditions

Conditional statements in JavaScript allow you to control the flow of your program based on
certain conditions. These statements make decisions and execute different blocks of code
depending on whether a specified condition evaluates to true or false. Here are the main types of
conditional statements in JavaScript:

1. if Statement:
The if statement is used to execute a block of code if a specified condition is true.

59/76
 javascript

let temperature = 25;

if (temperature > 30) {

console.log("It's a hot day!");
} else if (temperature >= 20 && temperature <= 30) {
console.log("The weather is pleasant.");
} else {
console.log("It's cold outside.");
}

2. Switch Statement:

The switch statement is used to perform different actions based on different conditions.

javascript

let dayOfWeek = "Monday";

switch (dayOfWeek) {
case "Monday":
console.log("It's the start of the week.");
break;
case "Friday":
console.log("It's almost the weekend!");
break;
default:
console.log("It's a regular day.");
}

3. Ternary Operator:

The ternary operator (? :) provides a concise way to write simple if-else statements.

60/76
 javascript

let isRaining = true;

let weatherMessage = isRaining ? "Bring an umbrella" : "Enjoy the day!";

console.log(weatherMessage);

4. Logical Operators:
Logical operators (&&, ||, !) are used to combine multiple conditions.

javascript

let isSunny = true;

let isWarm = true;

if (isSunny && isWarm) {

console.log("It's a perfect day!");
}

let hasCar = false;

let hasBike = true;

if (hasCar || hasBike) {
console.log("You have a means of transportation.");
}

let isCold = false;

if (!isCold) {
console.log("It's not cold.");
}

5. Truthy and Falsy Values:

JavaScript has truthy and falsy values. Falsy values include false, 0, "" (empty string), null,
undefined, and NaN. All other values are truthy.

61/76
 javascript

let username = "";

if (username) {
console.log("Username is truthy.");
} else {
console.log("Username is falsy.");
}

6. Nullish Coalescing Operator (??):

The nullish coalescing operator (??) provides a way to handle null or undefined values.

javascript

let userInput;
let defaultValue = "Default Value";

let result = userInput ?? defaultValue;

console.log(result);

These conditional statements are essential for creating dynamic and responsive programs,
allowing you to control the logic of your code based on various conditions and scenarios.

loops and repetition

Loops in JavaScript are used to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a specified
condition is true. They are essential for performing repetitive tasks efficiently. There are several
types of loops in JavaScript, each serving different purposes. Here are the main types of loops:

1. for Loop:
The for loop is used when you know the number of iterations in advance.

62/76
 javascript

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

console.log("Iteration", i);
}

2. while Loop:

The while loop is used when the number of iterations is not known in advance, and the loop
continues as long as a specified condition is true.

javascript

let count = 0;

while (count < 5) {

console.log("Count is", count);
count++;
}

3. do...while Loop:

The do...while loop is similar to the while loop, but it guarantees that the block of code will be
executed at least once.

63/76
 javascript

let i = 0;

do {
console.log("Iteration", i);
i++;
} while (i < 5);

4. for...in Loop:

The for...in loop is used to iterate over the properties of an object.

javascript

const person = {
name: "John",
age: 30,
job: "Developer"
};

for (let key in person) {

console.log(key, person[key]);
}

5. for...of Loop:

The for...of loop is used to iterate over the values of an iterable object (arrays, strings, etc.).

64/76
 javascript

const colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];

for (let color of colors) {

console.log(color);
}

6. forEach Method (Array):

The forEach method is a higher-order function available for arrays, allowing you to iterate over
each element.

javascript

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

numbers.forEach(function(number) {
console.log(number);
});

7. break and continue Statements:

The break statement is used to exit a loop prematurely, and the continue statement is used to
skip the current iteration and move to the next one.

65/76
 javascript

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

if (i === 5) {
break; // Exit the loop when i equals 5
}

if (i % 2 === 0) {
continue; // Skip even numbers
}

console.log(i);
}

Loops are crucial for handling repetitive tasks and iterating over data structures. Choose the loop
type that best fits the specific requirements of your program. Additionally, be cautious with infinite
loops, where the loop condition is always true, as they can cause your program to hang. Always
ensure that the loop condition is eventually false to avoid infinite loops.

Javascript and objects

In JavaScript, objects are a fundamental data type that allows you to group related data and
functions together in a structured way. Objects are used to represent entities, and they consist of
key-value pairs where the keys are strings (or symbols) and the values can be of any data type,
including other objects. Here's an overview of working with objects in JavaScript:

1. Object Creation:

You can create objects in JavaScript using object literals or the Object constructor.

Object Literal:

66/76
 javascript

// Object literal
const person = {
name: "John",
age: 30,
job: "Developer",
greet: function() {
console.log("Hello, I'm " + this.name + "!");
}
};

person.greet(); // Output: Hello, I'm John!

Object Constructor:

javascript

// Object constructor
const car = new Object();
car.make = "Toyota";
car.model = "Camry";
car.year = 2022;

console.log(car); // Output: { make: 'Toyota', model: 'Camry', year: 2022 }

2. Accessing Object Properties:

You can access object properties using dot notation or square bracket notation.

67/76
 javascript

console.log(person.name); // Output: John

console.log(person['age']); // Output: 30

3. Adding and Modifying Properties:

You can add new properties or modify existing ones.

javascript

person.location = "City";
person.age = 31;

console.log(person);
// Output: { name: 'John', age: 31, job: 'Developer', greet: [Function], location:
'City' }

4. Nested Objects:

Objects can contain other objects as properties.

68/76
 javascript

const address = {
street: "123 Main St",
city: "Anytown",
zip: "12345"
};

person.address = address;

console.log(person.address.city); // Output: Anytown

5. Object Methods:

Objects can have methods, which are functions associated with the object.

javascript

const calculator = {
add: function(a, b) {
return a + b;
},
subtract: function(a, b) {
return a - b;
}
};

console.log(calculator.add(5, 3)); // Output: 8

console.log(calculator.subtract(8, 3)); // Output: 5

6. Object Destructuring:

Destructuring allows you to extract properties from objects and assign them to variables.

69/76
 javascript

const { name, age } = person;

console.log(name, age); // Output: John 31

7. Object Methods (ES6+):

ES6 introduced shorthand syntax for defining methods in objects.

javascript

const person = {
name: "John",
age: 30,
greet() {
console.log(`Hello, I'm ${this.name}!`);
}
};

person.greet(); // Output: Hello, I'm John!

8. Object Prototypes and Classes (ES6+):

ES6 introduced class syntax for creating objects and working with prototypes.

70/76
 javascript

class Animal {
constructor(name) {
this.name = name;
}

speak() {
console.log(`${this.name} makes a sound.`);
}
}

const dog = new Animal("Dog");

dog.speak(); // Output: Dog makes a sound.

Objects and their related concepts, like prototypes and classes, play a crucial role in JavaScript.
They provide a flexible and powerful way to structure and organize code, making it easier to work
with complex data and logic in a program.

Javascript own objects

JavaScript has several built-in objects that provide essential functionality and are an integral part
of the language. These objects are available for use without the need for explicit instantiation, as
they are part of the core JavaScript environment. Here are some of the commonly used built-in
objects in JavaScript:

1. Object:

The most basic object in JavaScript. All other objects inherit from this one.

javascript

const myObject = {
key1: 'value1',
key2: 'value2'
};

71/76
2. Array:

Used to store multiple values in a single variable.

javascript

const myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

3. String:

Represents a sequence of characters.

javascript

const myString = 'Hello, World!';

4. Number:
Represents numeric values.

javascript

const myNumber = 42;

5. Boolean:

Represents a logical entity and can have only two values: true or false.

72/76
 javascript

const myBoolean = true;

6. Function:

Functions in JavaScript are objects. They can be assigned to variables, passed as arguments, and
returned from other functions.

javascript

const myFunction = function() {

console.log('Hello from a function!');
};

7. Date:

Used for working with dates and times.

javascript

const currentDate = new Date();

8. RegExp:

Used for pattern matching with regular expressions.

73/76
 javascript

const pattern = /[a-z]+/;

9. Math:

Provides mathematical constants and functions.

javascript

const result = Math.sqrt(25); // Square root of 25

10. Error:
The base object for all error objects in JavaScript.

javascript

throw new Error('This is an error message');

11. JSON:

Provides methods for working with JSON data.

74/76
 javascript

const jsonData = '{"name": "John", "age": 30}';

const parsedData = JSON.parse(jsonData);

12. Map and Set:

Collections introduced in ES6 for storing key-value pairs (Map) and unique values (Set).

javascript

const myMap = new Map();

myMap.set('key1', 'value1');

const mySet = new Set([1, 2, 3, 3, 4]);

13. Promise:

Used for asynchronous programming and represents a value that may be available now, in the
future, or never.

javascript

const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

// Asynchronous operation
resolve('Operation successful');
});

These are just a few examples of the many built-in objects available in JavaScript. Each of these
objects comes with its own set of methods and properties, providing a wide range of functionality
for developers. Understanding these built-in objects is crucial for effective JavaScript
