Web Design - Javascript Boolean

This document is a report submitted to the Department of Computer Science at the University of Baghdad College of Economics Sciences. The report discusses JavaScript booleans. It introduces JavaScript and how it is used for webpage interaction and game development. It explains how to run JavaScript using browsers and the basic tools needed, including a text editor and browser. It provides a simple "Hello World" JavaScript example using script tags and the Boolean data type in JavaScript, which can only be true or false. Comparisons and conditions with Boolean values are also covered.

1.1 Introduction

JavaScript is a very powerful client-side scripting language. JavaScript is used


mainly for enhancing the interaction of a user with the webpage. In other words,
you can make your webpage more lively and interactive, with the help of
JavaScript. JavaScript is also being used widely in game development and
Mobile application development. [1]

1.2 How to Run JavaScript

Being a scripting language, JavaScript cannot run on its own. In fact, the
browser is responsible for running JavaScript code. When a user requests an
HTML page with JavaScript in it, the script is sent to the browser and it is up to
the browser to execute it. The main advantage of JavaScript is that all modern
web browsers support JavaScript. So, you do not have to worry about whether
your site visitor uses Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox or any other
browser. JavaScript will be supported. Also, JavaScript runs on any operating
system including Windows, Linux or Mac. Thus, JavaScript overcomes the
main disadvantages of VBScript (Now deprecated) which is limited to just IE
and Windows.[2]
1.3 Tools we need

To start with, you need a text editor to write your code and a browser to display
the web pages you develop. You can use a text editor of your choice including
Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, Atom or any other text editor
you are comfortable with. You can use any web browser including Google
Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer etc.[2]

1.4 A Simple JavaScript Program


You should place all your JavaScript code within <script> tags (<script> and
</script>) if you are keeping your JavaScript code within the HTML document
itself. This helps your browser distinguish your JavaScript code from the rest of
the code. As there are other client-side scripting languages (Example:
VBScript), it is highly recommended that you specify the scripting language
you use. You have to use the type attribute within the <script> tag and set its
value to text/javascript like this:

Hello World Example:


1.5 JavaScript Data Type – Boolean
A JavaScript Boolean represents one of two values: true or false.

Boolean Values

Very often, in programming, you will need a data type that can only have one of
two values, like

 YES / NO
 ON / OFF
 TRUE / FALSE

For this, JS has a Boolean data type. It can only take the values true or false.

Boolean () Function

You can use Boolean () function to find if an expression (or a variable) is true:

Comparisons and Conditions

The chapter JS Comparisons gives a full overview of comparison operators and


conditional statements [3]. Here are some examples:
