JavaScript Notes - Detailed Explanation

1. Introduction to JavaScript

JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted scripting language that enables you to create dynamically updating

content, control multimedia, animate images, and much more. It is an essential part of web development

along with HTML and CSS.

Key Points:

- JavaScript is mainly used for client-side development but can also be used on the server side ([Link]).

- JavaScript runs in the browser and allows interaction with the user and the web page content.

JavaScript vs Java:

- Java is a compiled language, JavaScript is interpreted.

- Java is statically typed, JavaScript is dynamically typed.

- Java uses class-based inheritance, JavaScript uses prototype-based inheritance.

How JavaScript Works:

- The JavaScript Engine (e.g., V8 by Chrome) parses the code and executes it line by line.

- It uses a single-threaded event loop to handle asynchronous operations.

Including JavaScript in HTML:

1. Inline: <button onclick="alert('Hello')">Click</button>

2. Internal: <script>[Link]('Hello')</script>

3. External: <script src="[Link]"></script>
