JavaScript Syntax

JavaScript Syntax:

JavaScript Syntax is a set of rules which defines that our JavaScript program has the correct structure or not.

In the program we usually perform the following things:

  • Declaration of variables
  • Assignment of values.
  • Computation of values by using operators
12345
//declaration of variables const firstNumber = 100; const secondNumber = 5; const thirdNumber = firstNumber + secondNumber; console.log(thirdNumber);
copy

Note:

To be an expert JavaScript developer, we should have a clear understanding of values, variables, operators, and their syntaxes.

JavaScript values :

A value is the representation of some entity that can be executed by a program.

In JavaScript there are two types of values:

  • Fixed values are known as literals.
  • Variables values are known as variables.

JavaScript literals:

JavaScript literals are values that cannot be changed, you do not need any type of keyword to write literals.

JavaScript literals syntax:

A JavaScript literal can be a numeric value, string, floating-point value, a boolean value, or even an object. In simple words, any value is literal.

1234567891011121314151617
//numerical literal const firstNumber= 1123; const secondNumber = 1334; console.log(firstNumber); console.log(secondNumber); // Boolean literal const isSunny= true; console.log(isSunny); //string literal const greeting = "hello-world"; console.log(greeting); //array literal const numberList =[1,2,3,4,5,6]; console.log(numberList);
copy

Note: The complete detail of each literal will be discussed later in the course.
