JavaScript Basics: Data Types & Syntax

The document provides an overview of JavaScript basics, including data types (primitive and non-primitive), variable declarations (let, const, var), operators, conditional statements, and loops. It explains the characteristics and usage of each data type, variable declaration method, and control structure with examples. This serves as a foundational guide for understanding JavaScript programming concepts.

JavaScript Basics

1. Data Types
JavaScript has two categories of data types:
 Primitive Types
 String → "Hello"

 Number → 42

 Boolean → true or false

 Null → null

 Undefined → undefined

 Symbol → Symbol("id")

 BigInt → 12345678901234567890n

 Non-Primitive (Reference) Types


 Object → { key: "value" }

 Array → [1, 2, 3]

 Function → function() {}

2. let, const, var


 var
 Function-scoped
 Allows redeclaration
 Hoisted (initialized as undefined)

 let
 Block-scoped
 Cannot be redeclared in the same scope
 Hoisted but in temporal dead zone
 const
 Block-scoped
 Cannot be reassigned
 Must be initialized at declaration
Example:
var x = 10;
let y = 20;
const z = 30;

3. Operators
 Arithmetic → + - * / % ++ --

 Assignment → = += -= *= /=

 Comparison → == != === !== > < >= <=

 Logical → && || !

 Ternary → condition ? value1 : value2

Example:
let result = (a > b) ? "A is greater" : "B is greater";

4. Conditional Statements
 if statement
if (x > 10) {
[Link]("Greater than 10");
}

 if-else
if (x > 10) {
[Link]("Greater");
} else {
[Link]("Smaller or equal");
}

 if-else if ladder
if (x > 20) {
[Link]("Big");
} else if (x > 10) {
[Link]("Medium");
} else {
[Link]("Small");
}

 switch statement
switch(day) {
case 1: [Link]("Monday"); break;
case 2: [Link]("Tuesday"); break;
default: [Link]("Invalid");
}
5. Loops
 while loop
let i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
[Link](i);
i++;
}

 do-while loop
let i = 0;
do {
[Link](i);
i++;
} while (i < 5);

 for loop
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
[Link](i);
}

 for...in (iterate over object keys)


for (let key in obj) {
[Link](key, obj[key]);
}

 for...of (iterate over iterable values like arrays)


for (let value of arr) {
[Link](value);
}
