Q.1: What is an editor?


Editors or text editors are software programs that enable the user to create
and edit text files. In the field of programming, the term editor usually refers
to source code editors that include many special features for writing and
editing code. Notepad, Wordpad are some of the common editors used on

Q.2: What do you understand by a web browser?
A web browser takes you anywhere on the internet. It retrieves
information from other parts of the web and displays it on your desktop

Transfer Protocol, which defines how text, images and video are
transmitted on the web.

HTML- it will be static.

Q. 6: Which attribute of the e <script> tag helps you include an external


JavaScript file?
To include an external JavaScript file, we can use the script tag with the
attribute src . You've already used the src attribute when using images.
The value for the src attribute should be the path to your JavaScript file.
This script tag should be included between the <head> tags in your
HTML document.

Q. 7: What are the three ways in which JavaScript can be included?


Answer – The three way to include JavaScript in HTML are –
a. External JavaScript – <script src=”file.js”></script>
b. Internal JavaScript – <script> Write Script code</script>
c. Inline JavaScript – <input type=”button” value=”Test” onClick=”function()” />
Q. 8: JavaScript is “interpreted” - what does this imply?
An interpreted language is one that does not require compiling into
machine language. It is executed by an interpreter who reads the source
code and converts it into a form that is directly executed. The interpreter
executes code line by line which makes JavaScript synchronous in
nature.
Q. 9: Explain the role of case sensitivity in JavaScript.
JavaScript is a case-sensitive language. This means that language keywords,
variables, function names, and any other identifiers must always be typed with a
consistent capitalization of letters. The while keyword, for example, must be typed
“while”, not “While” or “WHILE”.

Q. 10: how to use multiple line comments in JavaScript?


Multi-line comments in JavaScript code can be added by writing the
comment between a forward-slash followed by asterisk /* and asterisk
followed by a forward-slash */.
