Introduction to JavaScript
JavaScript is one of the most popular and widely used programming languages in the world. It plays a crucial role in web development, enabling dynamic content, interactivity, and enhanced user experiences in web pages and applications. Let’s dive into what JavaScript is, its history, and how it fits into the modern web.

How to Add JavaScript?
Before diving into the basics of JavaScript, it’s essential to understand how to include JavaScript in an HTML file. There are three main ways to do this:

Different Ways to Output Data
JavaScript provides several ways to "display" or output data, allowing you to present dynamic content to users in various ways. Each method serves a different purpose and is used in different scenarios depending on the requirements. Here are the primary methods for displaying data using JavaScript:

Variables and Constants
Variables and constants in JavaScript are used to store data values. Depending on how you declare them, their value can be changed or fixed.

Data Types
JavaScript provides different types of values that can be stored in variables. These are categorized into two types: Primitives and Non-Primitives.

Conditional Statements (if, else if, else)
Conditional statements execute different actions based on different conditions.

Arrays
In JavaScript, an array is a special type of object that stores an ordered collection of values (elements). Arrays are zero-indexed, meaning the first element is accessed with index 0.

DOM Manipulation
DOM Manipulation is the process of using JavaScript to interact with and modify the HTML and CSS of a webpage. The DOM is essentially the structure of the webpage, represented as nodes, which can be elements, attributes, or pieces of text.

JavaScript Modules
JavaScript modules allow developers to split code into reusable pieces that can be imported and exported across files. This makes code more maintainable, reusable, and organized.

About Lesson

JavaScript allows you to declare variables using three keywords: var, let, and const.

  • It’s function-scoped, meaning the variable is accessible throughout the function in which it’s declared.
  • Variables declared with var can be re-declared and updated.

Example:

JavaScript
var age = 25;
var age = 30;  // Re-declaration is allowed
age = 35;  // Update is allowed
  • Introduced in ES6, it’s block-scoped, meaning the variable is only accessible within the block ({}) in which it is declared.
  • Variables declared with let can be updated but cannot be re-declared within the same block.

Example:

JavaScript
let age = 25;
age = 30;  // Update is allowed
  • Also block-scoped like let, but once a value is assigned to a const variable, it cannot be reassigned. It must be initialized at the time of declaration.

Example:

JavaScript
const age = 25;
// age = 30; // This will throw an error
