Introduction to JavaScript

What is JavaScript?
 JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic
programming language used for web
development.
 It enables interactive features on websites
such as animations, form validation, and real-
time updates.
 It runs in the browser, allowing developers to
add behavior to web pages.
Why JavaScript is Important for
Web Development?
1. Interactivity: Adds interactivity to web pages.
2. Client-Side Performance: Runs in the browser,
reducing server load.
3. Popular Frameworks: Libraries like React,
Angular, and Vue.js speed up development.
4. Full-Stack Development: JavaScript is used on
both the front-end and back-end (Node.js).
5. Cross-Platform: Build apps for web, mobile,
and desktop.
How JavaScript Works
 JavaScript is a client-side language, meaning it
runs in the user's browser.
 It allows developers to add dynamic behavior
to web pages.
 For example, JavaScript handles user events
like clicks or keystrokes.
Basic JavaScript Structure -
Variables
 Variables store data for manipulation.
 Declaration: `let`, `const`, `var`.
Example:
let name = 'John'; // string
const age = 30; // number
Functions in JavaScript
 Functions allow for reusable blocks of code.
Declaration: `function` keyword.
Example:
function greet() {
console.log('Hello, World!');
}
greet(); // Calling the function
Control Flow in JavaScript
 Conditional Statements: `if`, `else if`, `else`,
`switch`.
 Loops: `for`, `while`, `do-while`.
Example:
if (x > 3) {
console.log('x is greater than 3');
}
Events in JavaScript
 JavaScript responds to user interactions like
clicks, keystrokes, etc.
Example:

document.getElementById('button').addEventLis
tener('click', function() {
alert('Button clicked!');
});
Conclusion
 JavaScript is an essential tool for modern web
development.
 It allows developers to create dynamic,
interactive, and user-friendly websites.
 Its versatility across front-end and back-end
development makes it indispensable.
