    What is JavaScript?

    JavaScript was designed to add interactivity


    to HTML pages
    JavaScript is a scripting language

    A scripting language is a lightweight

    JavaScript How to..


    A JavaScript program can be placed
    directly in an HTML file or it can be

    JavaScript Statements
    JavaScript is a sequence of statements
    to be executed by the browser.
    JavaScript is case-sensitive.
    A JavaScript statement is a command to
    a browser. The purpose of the command
    is to tell the browser what to do.
    Example:
    document.write("Hello Dolly");

    JavaScript Statements

    Commenting your code is an important


    programming practice

    // comment text for a single line


    /* comment text for multiple lines

    JavaScript Comments

    In-Class Example:

    Add a single-line comment


    Add a multi-line comment

    JavaScript Variables

    As with algebra, JavaScript variables are


    used to hold values or expressions.
    A variable can have a short name, like x,
    or a more descriptive name, like carname.
    Rules for JavaScript variable names:

    Variable names are case sensitive (y and Y are


    two different variables)
    Variable names must begin with a letter, the $
    character, or the underscore character

    Declaring JavaScript
    Variables
    Declaring a variable tells the JavaScript to
    reserve memory space for the variable.
    To declare a JavaScript variable, use the
    statement
    var variable;
    where variable is the name assigned to the
    variable.
    To declare a JavaScript variable and set its
    initial value, use
    var variable = value;
    where value is the initial value of the variable.

    Declaring JavaScript
    Variables

    JavaScript data types:

    Numeric values
    Text strings
    Boolean values
    Null values

    You must declare a variable before using


    it.

    Declaring JavaScript
    Variables
    Numeric value is any number, such as 13,
    22.5,
    -3.14159 etc.
    Text string is any group of text characters,
    such as Hello or Happy Holidays!

    Must be enclosed within either double or single


    quotations (but not both)

    Boolean values accept only true and false


    values
    Null value has no value at all
