JavaScript is a programming language used for creating dynamic website content, with code inserted between <script> tags in HTML. It allows manipulation of HTML elements through methods like document.getElementById() and supports various data display methods. JavaScript defines fixed values (literals) and variable values, with variables declared using var, let, or const, each having different scope rules.

JAVASCRIPT

JavaScript is a programming language used to create dynamic content for


websites.
In HTML, JavaScript code is inserted between <script> and </script> tags.
Scripts can be placed in the <body>, or in the <head> section of an HTML page,
or in both.
Scripts can also be placed in external files.

JavaScript Can Change HTML Content


One of many JavaScript HTML methods is getElementById().

document.getElementById(id) is a method in the Document Object Model


(DOM) used in JavaScript to access an HTML element by its unique id attribute.
The id attribute is a unique identifier assigned to an element within an HTML
document.
We can use document.getElementById(id) to manipulate the element in
various ways, such as changing its content, style, or attributes.

JavaScript can "display" data in different ways:

1) The innerHTML property defines the HTML content


2)For testing purposes, use document.write(). Writing into the HTML.
3)Use an alert box to display data. Writing into an alert box, using
window.alert().
4)For debugging purposes, you can call the console.log() method in the
browser to display data.
Example: Script in body tag and script in external file (test.js) is called in head
tag

Test.js file
JavaScript Values:
The JavaScript syntax defines two types of values:

 Fixed values
 Variable values

Fixed values are called Literals.

Variable values are called Variables.

JavaScript Literals

The two most important syntax rules for fixed values are:

1. Numbers are written with or without decimals:

2. Strings are text, written within double or single quotes:

JavaScript Variables

In a programming language, variables are used to store data values.

JavaScript uses the keywords var, let and const.

to declare variables.

An equal sign is used to assign values to variables.

JavaScript Identifiers

All JavaScript variables must be identified with unique names.

These unique names are called identifiers.

Identifiers can be short names (like x and y) or more descriptive names (age,
sum, totalVolume).
The general rules for constructing names for variables (unique identifiers) are:

 Names can contain letters, digits, underscores, and dollar signs.


 Names must begin with a letter.
 Names can also begin with $ and _.
 Names are case sensitive (y and Y are different variables).
 Reserved words (like JavaScript keywords) cannot be used as names.

var : Variable can be re-declared & updated. A global scope variable.

let : Variable cannot be re-declared but can be updated. A block scope


variable.

const : Variable cannot be re-declared or updated. A block scope variable.

Example: Variable declare using keyword var


Example: Variable declare using keyword let

Example: Variable declare using keyword const


Global Scope

 Definition: Variables declared outside of any function or block are said


to have global scope. These variables can be accessed from anywhere in
the code, both inside and outside of functions or blocks.

Block Scope

 Definition: Block scope refers to the scope of variables defined within a


block, such as those declared with let or const inside a pair of curly
braces {}. These variables are only accessible within the block they are
defined in.
