Introduction of javascript
- 1. INTRODUCTION OF JAVASCRIPT What is JavaScript? JavaScript (sometimes abbreviated JS) is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class functions. It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles. JavaScript is an implementation of the ECMAScript language standard and is typically used to enable programmatic access to computational objects within a host environment. JavaScript is a programming language used to make web pages interactive. It runs on your visitor's computer and doesn't require constant downloads from your website. JavaScript is often used to create polls and quizzes. It is the standard language used in web pages, but it is also widely used by desktop apps, mobile phone apps, and internet servers. Why we use JavaScript? JavaScript is not specifically HTML related, but interacts with HTML and DHTML when used in a browser. It's a more traditional programming language, in that you can write a series of instructions to compute what kinds of actions should be taken based on various conditions, repeat things a variable number of times, and just generally take more complex and sophisticated actions. Small applications and games have been written entirely in JavaScript. The line between DHTML and JavaScript can sometimes get blurry, but a rule of thumb I use is simple: DHTML is about the web page, period. The items on a web page, the events that a web page might want to act on (like moving your mouse over text), and the resulting changes to the web page that you might want to have happen resulting from those events (like changing the color of text). JavaScript, however, is really web, and HTML, independent. It adds programming things like loops, and variables and functions. You could write a small program to calculate Pi in JavaScript, and then perhaps use DHTML to do something interesting on the web page with it.
- 2. What is the purpose of JavaScript? Functions allow us to remove these statements from all of the places that they are needed and define them just once. We then “call” the function from each of the places where we need those statements to run. This makes maintaining the code easier as we only have one place where the particular series of statements occurs rather than repetitions of the same code. Any changes to that one block will automatically apply to each place where the function is called.Using functions also allows us to modularize our approach to writing the code. This means that we can break up the processing into sections and not concern ourselves with how all of the processing needs to work all at the same time. When we are coding the function we need only concern ourselves with how the function needs to be coded in order to perform its intended task.
