JavaScript Basics Overview

1. Fundamentals of JavaScript:
Variables and Data Types: let, const, var, string, number, boolean, null, undefined, object, array.
Operators: Arithmetic (+, -, *, /), Comparison (==, ===, !=, !==, >, <), Logical (&&, ||, !).
Conditionals: if, else if, else, switch statement.
Loops:
for, while, do...while.
Advanced Loop: for...of (for arrays), for...in (for objects).

1. Fundamentals of JavaScript

Variables and Data Types

Variables: Used to store data that can be used later in the program. JavaScript has three ways to
declare variables:
`let`: Block-scoped variable, allows reassignment.
`const`: Block-scoped constant, cannot be reassigned.
`var`: Function-scoped variable, allows reassignment.

Data Types: JavaScript has different data types to store various kinds of information.
Primitive Types:
`string`: Represents textual data. Example: `"Hello, World!"`
`number`: Represents numbers, both integers and floats. Example: `42`, `3.14`
`boolean`: Represents logical values. `true` or `false`.
`null`: Represents an intentional absence of any value.
`undefined`: Represents a variable that has been declared but has not been assigned a
value.
Non-Primitive Types:
`object`: Stores collections of key-value pairs. Example: `{ name: "John", age: 30 }`
`array`: Stores ordered lists of items. Example: `[1, 2, 3]`

Operators

Arithmetic Operators: Used for basic mathematical operations.

`+` (Addition): `5 + 2` results in `7`.
`-` (Subtraction): `5 - 2` results in `3`.
`*` (Multiplication): `5 * 2` results in `10`.
`/` (Division): `5 / 2` results in `2.5`.

Comparison Operators: Compare values and return a boolean (`true` or `false`).

`==` (Equality): Checks if values are equal. Example: `5 == '5'` (true).

 `===` (Strict Equality): Checks if values and types are equal. Example: `5 === '5'` (false).
`!=` (Inequality): Checks if values are not equal. Example: `5 != '6'` (true).
`!==` (Strict Inequality): Checks if values and types are not equal. Example: `5 !== '5'`
(true).
`>` (Greater Than): `5 > 3` results in `true`.
`<` (Less Than): `5 < 3` results in `false`.

Logical Operators: Used to combine conditions.

`&&` (AND): Returns `true` if both conditions are `true`. Example: `true && false` results in
`false`.
`||` (OR): Returns `true` if at least one condition is `true`. Example: `true || false` results
in `true`.
`!` (NOT): Reverses the boolean value. Example: `!true` results in `false`.

Conditionals

if: Executes a block of code if the condition is `true`.

javascript

if (x > 10) {
console.log("x is greater than 10");
}

else if: Provides an additional condition if the previous one is `false`.

javascript

if (x > 10) {
console.log("x is greater than 10");
} else if (x === 10) {
console.log("x is exactly 10");
}

else: Executes if all previous conditions are `false`.

javascript

if (x > 10) {
console.log("x is greater than 10");
} else {
console.log("x is less than or equal to 10");
}

switch statement: Evaluates an expression and executes code based on the matching `case`.

javascript

let day = 3;
switch (day) {
case 1:
console.log("Monday");

 break;
case 2:
console.log("Tuesday");
break;
default:
console.log("Other day");
}

Loops

for loop: Repeats a block of code a specific number of times.

javascript

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

console.log(i);
}

while loop: Repeats as long as the condition is `true`.

javascript

let i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
console.log(i);
i++;
}

do...while loop: Executes the block once before checking the condition.

javascript

let i = 0;
do {
console.log(i);
i++;
} while (i < 5);

Advanced Loop

for...of (for arrays): Iterates over the elements of an array.

javascript

const numbers = [1, 2, 3];

for (let number of numbers) {
console.log(number);
}

for...in (for objects): Iterates over the keys of an object.

 javascript

const person = { name: "Alice", age: 25 };

for (let key in person) {
console.log(key, person[key]);
}

programming!

Try to solve each question, and if you get stuck, focus on breaking down the problem into smaller
parts. Happy coding!

now answer all of them

Let's work through all the questions with solutions and explanations:

1. Variables and Data Types

Question 1: Create a variable using `let` to store your name and another using `const` to store
your birth year. Change the value of the name variable but try changing the value of the birth
year. What happens?

javascript

let name = "John";

const birthYear = 1990;

// Change the value of the name variable

name = "Jane"; // Works fine

// Try changing the value of the birth year

birthYear = 1995; // Error: Assignment to constant variable

Explanation: `let` allows reassignment, so `name` can be changed to `"Jane"`. `const`

creates a constant, so trying to change `birthYear` results in an error.

Question 2: Write a program that stores three different data types (a string, a number, and a
boolean) in variables and prints their types using `typeof`.

javascript

let myString = "Hello";

let myNumber = 42;
let myBoolean = true;

console.log(typeof myString); // "string"

console.log(typeof myNumber); // "number"
console.log(typeof myBoolean); // "boolean"

2. Operators

Question 3: Write a program that takes two numbers as input and prints their sum, difference,
product, and quotient.

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 6/12
 javascript

let a = 8;
let b = 4;

console.log("Sum:", a + b); // 12
console.log("Difference:", a - b); // 4
console.log("Product:", a * b); // 32
console.log("Quotient:", a / b); // 2

Question 4: Compare two variables using both `==` and `===`. Explain the difference between
the two comparisons through code examples.

javascript

let x = 5;
let y = "5";

console.log(x == y); // true (checks value only)

console.log(x === y); // false (checks value and type)

Explanation: `==` compares only the values, so `5` and `"5"` are considered equal. `===`
compares both values and types, so `5` (number) is not equal to `"5"` (string).

3. Conditionals

Question 5: Write a program that checks if a number is positive, negative, or zero using
`if...else`.

javascript

let num = -10;

if (num > 0) {
console.log("Positive");
} else if (num < 0) {
console.log("Negative");
} else {
console.log("Zero");
}

Question 6: Create a `switch` statement that takes a day of the week as input (e.g., 1 for
Monday) and prints out the corresponding day name.

javascript

let day = 2;

switch (day) {
case 1:
console.log("Monday");
break;
case 2:
console.log("Tuesday");
break;

case 6:
console.log("Saturday");
break;
case 7:
console.log("Sunday");
break;
default:
console.log("Invalid day");
}

Question 7: Write a program that takes a user's age as input and outputs whether they are a
minor, an adult, or a senior citizen using `if`, `else if`, and `else`.

javascript

let age = 20;

if (age < 18) {

console.log("Minor");
} else if (age >= 18 && age < 60) {
console.log("Adult");
} else {
console.log("Senior Citizen");
}

Question 9: Write a `while` loop that prints the even numbers between 1 and 20.

javascript

let i = 2;
while (i <= 20) {
console.log(i);
i += 2;
}

correct one.

javascript

const colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];

for (let color of colors) {

Question 12: Write a `for...in` loop that iterates over the properties of an object and prints
both the property names and their values.

const person = { name: "Alice", age: 25, city: "New York" };

for (let key in person) {
console.log(key + ": " + person[key]);
}

Question 13: Given an array of numbers, use a `for...of` loop to find the sum of all the
elements.

javascript
