JavaScript – Basic syntax,

variables, data types


Syntax - Statements

 JavaScript code is composed of statements. These are like instructions that tell the
computer what to do.
Syntax - Comments

 Comments are used to add explanations within the code. They are ignored by the
computer when the code is executed. You can write single-line comments using // or
multi-line comments using /* */.
Syntax – Case Sensitivity

 JavaScript is case-sensitive. This means that ‘variableName’, ‘VariableName’, and


‘variablename’ would all be considered different variables.
Variables

 Variables are used to store data that can be manipulated and referenced in a program.
In JavaScript, there are three ways to declare variables: var, let, and const.
Var

 ‘var’ is the old way of declaring variables in JavaScript. It has some quirks and is
generally not recommended for modern JavaScript development.
let

 ‘let’ is the preferred way to declare variables in modern JavaScript. It allows you to
declare variables that can be reassigned later.
Const

 ‘const’ is used to declare variables that cannot be reassigned. Once a value is


assigned to a const variable, it cannot be changed.
Data types - Numbers
Data types – String
Data types - Boolean

Booleans: Represents true or false values.


Data types - Undefined

Undefined: Represents a variable that has been declared


but has not been assigned a value.
Data types- Null

Null: Represents the intentional absence of any object value.
