Introduction

JavaScript is a scripting language. It is object-based, lightweight, cross-platform translated language. It is widely used for client-side validation.

Add javascript

JavaScript in <head>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<script>
    //code

Outputing JavaScript

JavaScript can "display" data in different ways

Writing into an HTML element, using innerHTML.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My First Paragraph</p>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = 5 + 6;
</script>

</body>
</html>

Writing into the HTML output using document.write().

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

<script>
document.write(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

Writing into an alert box, using window.alert().

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

<script>
window.alert(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

Writing into the browser console, using console.log().

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<script>
console.log(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

valueOf() - Returns the primitive value of a string or a string object

charAt - It returns the character at a specified index in a string. The index is zero-based, which means that the first character in the string is at index 0, the second character is at index 1, and so on.

let myString = "Hello World!";
console.log(myString.charAt(0)); // Output: "H"
console.log(myString.charAt(5)); // Output: " "
console.log(myString.charAt(6)); // Output: "W"

charCodeAt - It returns the Unicode of the character at a specified index in a string. Unicode is a standardized encoding system that assigns a unique number (code point) to each character in most languages and scripts in the world.

let myString = "Hello";
let newString = myString.concat(" ", "World!");
console.log(newString); // Output: "Hello World!"

fromCharCode - It is actually a static method of the String object, not a method that is called on a string instance. It is a static method that takes a sequence of Unicode values, and returns a new string that contains the corresponding characters. It is used to create a new string from one or more Unicode code points.

let myString = String.fromCharCode(72, 101, 108, 108, 111);
console.log(myString); // Output: "Hello"

let str = "Hello, world!";
let n = str.indexOf("world");
console.log(n);  // output: 7

lastIndexOf - It is similar to the indexOf() method, but it returns the last index at which a given element can be found in a string, or -1 if the element is not present in the string. The method takes one argument, which is the string or character you want to search for.

let str = "Hello, world! world! ";
let n = str.lastIndexOf("world");
console.log(n);  // output: 14

match - It is used to search a string for a match against a regular expression, and returns an array of matches.

let result = str.match(/the/i);
console.log(result);

replace - It can be used to replace a specific string or a regular expression with another string. The method takes two arguments: the first argument is the string or regular expression to be replaced, and the second argument is the string that will replace the matched string or regular expression. It returns a new string with the replacements made.

let str = "JavaScript is a programming language";
let newStr = str.replace("JavaScript", "JS");
console.log(newStr); // "JS is a programming language"

search - It is used to search for a specified regular expression in a string and returns the position of the first match. If no match is found, it returns -1. The method is called on a string and takes a regular expression as an argument.

let str = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
let result = str.search(/fox/);
console.log(result); // Output: 16

slice - It is used to extract a part of a string and returns a new string. The method is called on a string and takes two arguments, the first is the starting index (required) and the second is the ending index (optional). If the ending index is not specified, the method will extract the substring to the end of the original string.

let str = "The quick brown fox";
let result = str.slice(4, 9);
console.log(result); // Output: "quick"

split - It is used to split a string into an array of substrings based on a specified separator. The method is called on a string and takes one required argument, the separator, which can be a string or a regular expression. The separator specifies where to divide substrings. If the separator is not found, the array will contain the original string.

let str = "The quick brown fox";
let result = str.split(" ");
console.log(result); // Output: [ "The", "quick", "brown", "fox" ]

substr - It is used to extract a part of a string and returns a new string. The method is called on a string and takes two arguments: the first is the starting index (required) and the second is the length of the substring (required).

let str = "The quick brown fox";
let result = str.substr(4, 5);
console.log(result); // Output: "quick"

substring - It is used to extract a part of a string and returns a new string. The method is called on a string and takes two arguments: the first is the starting index (required) and the second is the ending index (optional). If the ending index is not specified, the method will extract the substring to the end of the original string.

let str = "The quick brown fox";
let result = str.substring(4, 9);
console.log(result); // Output: "quick"

toLowerCase - It is used to convert all the characters in a string to lowercase and returns a new string. The method is called on a string and takes no arguments.

let str = "The Quick BROWN Fox";
let result = str.toLowerCase();
console.log(result); // Output: "the quick brown fox"

toUpperCase - It is used to convert all the characters in a string to uppercase and returns a new string. The method is called on a string and takes no arguments.

let str = "The Quick BROWN Fox";
let result = str.toUpperCase();
console.log(result); // Output: "THE QUICK BROWN FOX"

valueOf - It is used to return the primitive value of a String object, which is the string itself. The method is called on a string and takes no arguments.

let str = "The Quick BROWN Fox";
let result = str.valueOf();
console.log(result); // Output: "The Quick BROWN Fox"

Loops

for loop

This type of loop is used to execute a block of code a specified number of times. The for loop has three parts: the initialization, the condition, and the increment.

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

while loop

This type of loop is used to execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.

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

do while loop

This type of loop is similar to the while loop, but it guarantees that the code block will be executed at least once.

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

for in loop

This type of loop is used to iterate over the enumerable properties of an object.

let obj = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
for (let prop in obj) {
  console.log(prop + ": " + obj[prop]);
}

for of loop

This type of loop is used to iterate over the iterable objects such as arrays, strings, and maps.

let arr = [1, 2, 3];
for (let value of arr) {
  console.log(value);
}

Conditional Statements

if statement

The if statement is used to execute a block of code if a specified condition is true.

if (x > 0) {
  console.log("x is greater than 0");
}

if else statement

The if...else statement is used to execute a block of code if a specified condition is true and another block of code if the condition is false.

if (x > 0) {
  console.log("x is greater than 0");
} else {
  console.log("x is not greater than 0");
}

if else else if statement

The if...else if...else statement is used to specify multiple conditions and execute a different block of code for each one.

if (x > 0) {
  console.log("x is positive");
} else if (x < 0) {
  console.log("x is negative");
} else {
  console.log("x is zero");
}

switch statement

The switch statement is used to select one of many blocks of code to be executed.

let day = new Date().getDay();
switch (day) {
  case 0:
    console.log("Sunday");
    break;
  case 1:
    console.log("Monday");
    break;
  case 2:
    console.log("Tuesday");
    break;
  // and so on
  default:
    console.log("Invalid day");
}

Functions

Defined with the function keyword, followed by a name, followed by parentheses ().

function name(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3) {
  // code to be executed
}

Arrow Function

hello = () => {
    return 'hello';
}

Scope

Block Scope

//var
function myFunction () {
    if(true) {
        var a = 10; // it exists in function scope
    }
    console.log(a);
}
myFunction();
