Internet - Concepts and Overview

Introduction to Scripting Language

A scripting language is a programming language used to write scripts that automate tasks. JavaScript is a

popular scripting language used mainly for web development to create interactive and dynamic web pages.

JavaScript is executed in the browser, allowing developers to control HTML content, validate forms, and

create animations.

Client Side vs Server Side Scripting

**Client-Side Scripting**:

- Executed in the user's browser.

- Example: JavaScript, HTML, CSS.

- Used for form validation, dynamic content updates, UI interaction.

**Server-Side Scripting**:

- Executed on the web server.

- Example: PHP, Python, Node.js.

- Used for database access, authentication, file handling.

Advantages of JavaScript

- Fast and efficient on the client-side.

- Reduces server load.

- Easy to learn and implement.

- Enhances user experience with interactivity.

- Widely supported across browsers.


Internet - Concepts and Overview

Features of JavaScript

- Interpreted language (no compilation needed).

- Lightweight and dynamic.

- Event-driven and interactive.

- Object-based with built-in objects.

- Supports functions, arrays, and objects.


Internet - Concepts and Overview

Keywords

JavaScript has reserved words called **keywords** which are part of the syntax.

Examples:

- `var`, `let`, `const`: Variable declarations

- `if`, `else`, `switch`: Conditional logic

- `for`, `while`, `do`: Loops

- `function`, `return`, `break`, `continue`


Internet - Concepts and Overview

Variables

Variables store data values.

Declaration methods:

```javascript

var x = 5;

let y = 10;

const z = 15;

```

- `var`: Function-scoped (older usage)

- `let`: Block-scoped (modern usage)

- `const`: Block-scoped, read-only


Internet - Concepts and Overview

Data Types

JavaScript supports several data types:

- **Primitive Types**: `Number`, `String`, `Boolean`, `Null`, `Undefined`, `Symbol`, `BigInt`

- **Objects**: Arrays, Functions, Dates, etc.

Example:

```javascript

let name = "John"; // String

let age = 25; // Number

let isStudent = true; // Boolean

let x; // Undefined

let y = null; // Null

```
Internet - Concepts and Overview

Constants

Constants are declared using `const` and cannot be reassigned.

Example:

```javascript

const PI = 3.14159;

```

- Must be assigned at declaration.

- Block-scoped like `let`.


Internet - Concepts and Overview

Comments

Comments are used to explain code.

**Single-line comment**:

```javascript

// This is a comment

```

**Multi-line comment**:

```javascript

/* This is

a multi-line comment */

```
Internet - Concepts and Overview

JavaScript Conditional Statements

Used to make decisions based on conditions.

**if statement**:

```javascript

if (x > 0) {

console.log("Positive");

```

**if-else**:

```javascript

if (x > 0) {

console.log("Positive");

} else {

console.log("Not positive");

```

**switch**:

```javascript

switch(day) {

case 1: console.log("Monday"); break;

case 2: console.log("Tuesday"); break;

default: console.log("Other day");

```
Internet - Concepts and Overview

Different Types of Loops

**for loop**:

```javascript

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

console.log(i);

```

**while loop**:

```javascript

let i = 0;

while (i < 5) {

console.log(i);

i++;

```

**do-while loop**:

```javascript

let i = 0;

do {

console.log(i);

i++;

} while (i < 5);

```
Internet - Concepts and Overview

Break & Continue Statement

**break**: Exits the loop immediately.

```javascript

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

if (i === 3) break;

console.log(i);

```

**continue**: Skips to the next iteration.

```javascript

for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

if (i === 3) continue;

console.log(i);

```
