Note on JavaScript Program

Definition: JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language mainly used to create


interactive effects within web browsers. It is a core technology of web development, alongside
HTML and CSS.

Key Features of JavaScript:

1. Client-Side Scripting: Runs directly in the browser without needing server processing.

2. Dynamic and Lightweight: Easy to write and modify.

3. Object-Oriented: Uses objects and functions for flexible coding.

4. Interpreted Language: Runs line-by-line without needing compilation.

5. Platform Independent: Works on any device with a web browser.

Basic Structure of a JavaScript Program: JavaScript code is usually written inside <script> tags
in an HTML file or in external .js files.

Example 1 – Displaying a Message:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
alert("Hello, welcome to JavaScript!");
</script>
</body>
</html>

Example 2 – Adding Two Numbers:

let a = 5;
let b = 10;
let sum = a + b;
console.log("The sum is: " + sum);

Where JavaScript is Used:

Creating interactive web pages

Form validation

Building games

Developing web and mobile apps (with frameworks like React, Node.js)

Controlling multimedia and animations

Advantages of JavaScript:

Runs fast in the browser

Easy to learn and use

Supports rich interfaces (e.g., sliders, pop-ups)

Widely supported across browsers

Disadvantages:

Can be misused for malicious scripts

Code visible to users (no privacy)

Heavily dependent on the browser
