A. Read the text.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a text-based programming language used both


on the client-side and server-side that allows you to make
web pages interactive. Where HTML and CSS are languages
that give structure and style to web pages, JavaScript gives
web pages interactive elements that engage a user.
Common examples of JavaScript that you might use every
day include the search box on Amazon, a news recap video
embedded on The New York Times, or refreshing your
Twitter feed.
Incorporating JavaScript improves the user experience of the web page by converting it from a
static page into an interactive one. To recap, JavaScript adds behavior to web pages.

JavaScript is mainly used for web-based applications and web browsers. But JavaScript is also used
beyond the Web in software, servers and embedded hardware controls. Here are some basic
things JavaScript is used for:

1. Adding interactive behavior to web pages

JavaScript allows users to interact with web pages. There are almost no limits to the things you can
do with JavaScript on a web page – these are just a few examples:

 Show or hide more information with the click of a button


 Change the color of a button when the mouse hovers over it
 Zooming in or zooming out on an image
 Playing audio and video in a web page
 Displaying animations
2. Creating web and mobile apps
3. Building web servers and developing server applications
4. Game development: Of course, you can also use JavaScript to create browser games. These
are a great way for beginning developers to practice their JavaScript skills.

Aside from the unlimited possibilities, there are many reasons for web developers to use
JavaScript over other programming languages: JavaScript is the only programming language native
to the web browser, is the most popular language, there’s a low threshold to get started and it’s a
fun language to learn.
