Console in JavaScript
[Link] is used to print/log a message/output to the console.
Comments in JavaScript
Part of code which are not going to execute, and just for reference or good readability of code.
Two Types of Comment:
Variables:
A variable is like a container that holds data. It is used to store data that can be used and
manipulated throughout your program. .
Think of a variable as a named container that holds a value.

In JavaScript, a variable can contain any type of data.

Three Stages of a Variable:
1. Declaration
2. Initialization
3. Use
1. Declaration Examples:
2. Initialization
Here “=“ is an
assignment operator
3. Use
Declaration + Initialization:
Let, const & var
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.
(variables declared with const keyword must have declaration & initialization both)
Rules for variable declaration:
1. Variable names are case sensitive;
2. “a” & “A” is different.
3. Only letters, digits, underscore( _ ) and $ is allowed. (not even space)
4. Only a letter, underscore( _ ) or $ should be 1st character.
5. Reserved words cannot be variable names.
Primary (Primitive) Datatypes:
❑ Number, String, Boolean, Undefined, Null, BigInt, Symbol
❑ Use typeof operator to identify the type of variable
Different Types of cases exists in Programming:
❑ camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase, and kebab-case
Use Case 1:
Suppose price of two products comes from database, you need to store these prices and show the total as output.
Use Case 2:
A user enters their first and last name into a form, and you need to display the full name.
JavaScript is a Dynamically Typed Language & Forgiving Language
You don’t need to specify the type of a variable,
even variable dynamically change its type respective to the data assigned in it.
