Quick Survey

What Is JavaScript?
● JavaScript is abbreviated as "JS".
● It is a dynamic, untyped, interpreted, cross-platform, object-oriented
language.
● It is standardized in the ECMAScript language specification.
● It is most commonly used as part of web browsers.
● It also being used in server-side programming.
● JavaScript (Client) = ECMAscript + DOM + BOM

Declarations
39
Variable Declarations
var Declares a variable, optionally initializing
it to a value.
let Declares a block-scoped, local variable,
optionally initializing it to a value.
const Declares a block-scoped, read-only named
constant.

JavaScript Identifiers
40
– can contain letters, digits, underscores, and dollar signs
– must begin with a letter
– can also begin with $ and _
– are case sensitive
– cannot use reserved words

1. var color = 'red';
2. var cat, dog, sheep;
3. var _id = 100, $last = true, lastName = 'Wang';
4. var fruit = 80,
5. vegetable = 40,
6. bread = 50;
7.
8. let bag = 'plastic';
9.
10. const TYPE_CARD = 'CARD';
41

Primitive Data Types
1. var title = 'FED'; // string
2. var salary = 22000; // number
3. var children = false; // boolean
4. var car = undefined; // undefined
5. var house = null; // null

Comparison of Primitive Type / String Object
1.// Primitive Type
2.var str1 = 'hello';
4.console.log(str2 === str2); // ?
5.
6.// String Object
7.var str3 = new String('hello');
45
1.// Primitive Type
4.console.log(str2 === str2); // true
5.
6.// String Object
1.// Primitive Type
4.console.log(str2 === str2); // true
5.
6.// String Object
9.console.log(str3 === str4); // false

Setting And Getting Primitive Type / String Object
46
1. console.log('hello'); // hello
2. console.log(new String('hello'));
3. // {0: "h", 1: "e", 2: "l", 3: "l", 4: "o", length: 5}
4.
5. var pet = 'dog';
6. console.log(pet[0]); // 'd'
7.
8. pet[0] = 'f';
9. console.log(pet[0]); // ?
1. console.log('hello'); // 'hello'
2. console.log(new String('hello'));
3. // {0: "h", 1: "e", 2: "l", 3: "l", 4: "o", length: 5}
4.
5. var pet = 'dog';
7.
8. pet[0] = 'f';

Unset Variables
48
1. var drink = 'coke';
2. console.log(drink); // 'coke'
3.
4. drink = undefined;
5. console.log(drink); // undefined
6.
7. drink = null;
8. console.log(drink); // null

JavaScript accepts both double
and single quotes.
50

String Literals
51
1. console.log('car'); // 'car'
2. console.log("building"); // 'building'
3. console.log('251'); // '©'
4. console.log('xA9'); // '©'
5. console.log('u00A9'); // '©'
6. console.log('u{2F804}'); // '你'

Multiline Strings
52
1. console.log('Hello
2. World!'); // 'Hello World!'
3.
4. console.log('line one n another line');
5. // line one
6. another line
7.
8. console.log('line one
9. another line'); // ?
1. console.log('Hello
2. World!'); // 'Hello World!'
3.
4. console.log('line one n another line');
5. // 'line one
6. another line'
7.
8. console.log('line one
9. another line'); // SyntaxError

String Interpolation
53
1. var price = 999;
2. var book = `The book costs ${price} dollars.`;
3. console.log(book); // 'The book costs 999 dollars.'
4.
5. var cat = 'Apple';
6. var dog = 'Pen';
7. var pets = `I have a cat, ${cat}.
8. I have a dog, ${dog}.
9. Ummm, ${cat}-${dog}`;
10. console.log(pets); // 'I have a cat, Apple.
11. I have a dog, Pen.
12. Ummm, Apple-Pen'

Integers And Floating-point Literals
54
1. console.log(1000); // 1000
2. console.log(.75); // 0.75

You don't have to specify the
datatype of a variable when you
declare it, and data types are
converted automatically as
needed during script execution.

Make sure that a variable is
used as a number before adding
it to another one.
67

Coerce Conversion Between Primitives and Objects
68
1. var learn = 'Learning ';
2. var language = 'JavaScript';
3. var title = learn.concat(language);
4. console.log(title); // 'Learning JavaScript'
5. console.log(title === 'Learning JavaScript'); // true
6.
7. title = title.replace('JavaScript', 'JS');
8. console.log(title); // 'Learning JS'
9. console.log(title === 'Learning JS'); // true

Function Scoping
70
1. function dinner () {
2. var food = 'noodle';
3.
4. if (true) {
5. var food = 'hamburger';
6. var drink = 'tea';
7. console.log(food); // 'hamburger'
8. }
9.
11. console.log(drink); // ?
12. }
1. function dinner () {
2. var food = 'noodle';
3.
4. if (true) {
5. var food = 'hamburger';
6. var drink = 'tea';
8. }
9.
11. console.log(drink); // 'tea'
12. }

Block Scoping
71
1. function launch () {
2. let food = 'noodle';
3.
4. if (true) {
5. let food = 'hamburger';
6. let drink = 'tea';
8. }
9.
10. console.log(food); // 'noodle'
11. console.log(drink); // ?
12. }
1. function launch () {
2. let food = 'noodle';
3.
4. if (true) {
5. let food = 'hamburger';
6. let drink = 'tea';
8. }
9.
10. console.log(food); // 'noodle'
11. console.log(drink); // ReferenceError
12. }

A variable declared outside a
function, becomes global.
72

Global Variables
73
1. var title = 'JavaScript';
2. console.log(title); // 'JavaScript';
3. console.log(window.title); // 'JavaScript';
4.
5. function log () {}
6. console.log(log); // function log() {}
7. console.log(window.log); // function log() {}

Global variables can be
retrieved without getting them
from window object.
74

Setting and Getting Global Variables
75
1. window.title = 'JavaScript';
2. console.log(window.title); // 'JavaScript'
3. console.log(title); // 'JavaScript'

Local Variables
76
1. let title = 'JavaScript';
3. console.log(window.title); // ?
1. let title = 'JavaScript';
3. console.log(window.title); // undefined

Lifetime of Variables
Scoping
77
● The lifetime of a variable starts when it is declared.
● Local variables are deleted when the function is completed.
● Global variables are deleted when you close the browser window.

You can refer to a variable
declared later, without getting
an exception.This concept is
known as hoisting.
79

Variable Hoisting
80
1. var drink = 'coffee';
2.
3. console.log(drink); // 'coffee'
4. console.log(food); // ?
5.
6. var food = 'pizza';
7.
9. console.log(food); // 'pizza'
1. var drink = 'coffee';
2.
4. console.log(food); // undefined
5.
6. var food = 'pizza';
7.
9. console.log(food); // 'pizza'

Re-Declaring Variables
81
1. var food = 'shusi';
2. console.log(food); // 'shusi'
3.
4. var food;
5. console.log(food); // ?
1. var food = 'shusi';
3.
4. var food;

Misuse Hoisted Variable
82
1. function isWinner (player, others) {
2. var highest = 0;
3.
4. for (var i = 0, len = others.length; i < len; ++i) {
5. var player = others[i];
6.
7. if (player.score > highest) {
8. highest = player.score;
9. }
10. }
11.
12. return player.score > highest;
13. }

Syntax Error With let
83
1. let title;
2. let title; // ?
3.
4. function triple (number) {
5. let number; // ?
6. return number * 3;
7. }
8.
