JavaScript Workings
• JavaScript is a powerful scripting language used to create
dynamic website content.

• JavaScript is a synchronous, single-threaded language.

“Everything in javascript works inside a execution context

JavaScript is essential for modern web development and is often


paired with HTML and CSS.

Execution context: what it
is and how it works
The execution context in JavaScript refers to the environment in
which code is executed, including variables, functions, and
scope. It consists of the Variable Object, Scope Chain, and "this"
keyword. Each function has its own execution context, and they
are added and removed from the call stack as the code is
executed.
Call stack: understanding its role in
JavaScript
• The call stack is a data structure that records function calls in a program.
• When a function is invoked, a new frame is added to the top of the stack.
• After the function completes, its frame is removed, and the control moves to the top of the stack.
Hoisting: how it affects variable
and function declarations
1 Creation Phase
During the creation phase, variable and function declarations are
hoisted to the top of their containing scope.

2 Behinds the Scenes


This means that regardless of where variables and functions are
declared, they are moved to the top of their script or function.

3 Impact on Code
This behavior can lead to unexpected results if not understood
properly, affecting the order of execution of the code.

Block scope: introduction to let and
const keywords
Block scope is an important concept in
JavaScript introduced by the let and
const keywords, which allow variables to
be limited to the block, statement, or
expression in which they are defined.
This means that variables declared with
let or const are only accessible within the
block they are defined in, unlike var which
has function-level scope.

Conclusion and next steps
Now that you have a foundational understanding of JavaScript
basics, it's time to dive deeper into more advanced concepts like
asynchronous programming, closures, and design patterns.
Additionally, familiarizing yourself with modern frameworks such
as React, Vue, or Angular will be crucial for building dynamic web
applications.
