Notes for JavaScript:

Very important: JS works directly with DOM

JavaScript: Node.js

Used for: Animations, event handling, dynamic and static pages

web browswer read javaScript: top/bottom, left to right

works as input/output system

JS types:

variables: a pointer, an arrow that points to a memory storage space

var myName = "Patrick"

Rules for variable names:


- must start with a letter or underscore
- no space
- are case sensitive

Examples:
var myName
var x5
var hi_there

the firs word is lowercase


the firs letter is always capitalized

referencing variables:
math operators:
addition:
var x = 22
var y = 4
var z = x+y
z = 26

subtraction:
z = x - y
z = 16

multiplication and division follow the same logic

Order of operations:
(+ x - /) + x - /

repl.it = it allows to see how your code work without opening in a text editor

Functions:
where all the magic happens
- to stow routines
has two uses:
- executing a particular task
- computing and returning a value
- They run when they're invoked
format:

var myFunction = function (){


code
}

practical use of a function. Example:

var makeSeven = function () {


return 6 +1
}

to invoke:
var calculation = makeSeven ()

Function arguments: arguments allow the function to play with outside data
var myFunction = function (arguments){
code to be executed
}

calling on a function with arguments:


var myFunction = function (arg1, arg2, arg3){
>> arg 1, 2 and 3 can be referenced here!
var x = arg + arg
}

pratical use:
var computeProduct = function (num1, num2){
return num1 * num2
}

var product = computeProduct(2,4)

JS proprietary library:
math.random():
returns a random decimal between 0.00 and 1.00

uses: games

Math.round ()
it returns a round version of the number
Math.round(4.7)
returns 5

Math.floor(4.7)
returns 4

Math.max(number, ..., ...)


returns the largest of the numbers passed in

Math.max(23, 45, 16)


returns 45

Math.power(base, exponent)
Math.power(2, 4)
returns 16
MDN: Ms. Eich, who created java script, is also the creator of Mozilla, therefore
Mozilla Developer Network

JS: string manipulation

method length:
input:
var myName = "John"
myName.length

output:
4

concatenation:
combining strings, or other variables

var firstName = "John"


var lastName = "Doe"
var fullName - firstName + "" + lastName

console.log(fullName);

.slice(start)
creates a copy that has a prototype linked to it
input:
"MakerSquare".slice(5)
output:
"Square"
is the equivalent of crop in CorelDraw
