JavaScript Basics: Console and Variables

This document discusses console.log() in JavaScript, variables, data types, and the HTML DOM. Console.log() prints output to the console and is a built-in function. Variables act as containers that store and label data, like fruit names. Common data types include numbers, booleans, and strings. The HTML DOM is the interface that contains all page information and allows getting, changing, adding, or deleting elements.

This is console.log(), a function that comes

built-in to javascript, meaning we don’t have

to create it ourselves. You can recognise that

it’s a function because of the brackets at the

end.

Console.log is essentially a print statement.

Whatever is inside those brackets, whether a

variable or a string, i.e “Hello World” will be

printed in the console.

A variable in Javascript is essentially a container that holds reusable data. The

most popular way to think of them is like boxes. We store different data types

within these boxes, and then label them so that we can use them again and again.

For example, think of a cardboard box. We can store whatever we want inside it,

like the solution to a problem, a number or anything else we can think of. If we

intend to store apples, pears and bananas in the box, we might want to write ‘fruit’

as the label, or variable name.

Variables created with Var key word but in some java scripts it can be let or const

var fruit = “apple”;


- Let is the closest to var - it has a scope that

can be restricted to within its own block of

code. Lets are also mutable, meaning the

value can be reassigned.

- Const is a constant value - it cannot be

redefined or reassigned. It also has a local

scope, meaning it is restricted to a block of

code.

. Some of the most common data types we will be using are

numbers (1,2,3), booleans (true or false) and strings (“isn’t this fun?). We can then assign these
values to

variables…

Session 3:

The HTML DOM is the Document Object Model, the interface created

when a webpage first loads that contains all of the information relevant to the

construction of that page.

. The DOM is a standard format for how we can get, change,

add or delete elements.

Reflection: nect time: in lesson be present, ask questions, ask for help. After lesson do h/w watch
tutorials ask for help from instructors try something with the element of what I have just learnt. Each
week combine together skills. Set pout a 3 hour window within the week to practice what I have e
learnt. Bwfore going into new stuff I wnt to make promises and honour them.
