Boolean(10 > 9)
Write a boolean statement that outputs true
Boolean(11 > 8)
let name;
name
grade = undefined;
let result;
result = Boolean(undefined);
console.log(result); // false
result = Boolean(null);
console.log(result); // false
7. Symbol: used to represent unique values that can be used as identifiers/keys in objects.
- They are also used to create private properties and methods in classes.
- unique and immutable, so they can be used as unique identifiers in objects and classes.
- useful for creating constants that can be shared across different parts of your code.
// Create a Symbol
const mySymbol = Symbol();
console.log(mySymbol);
// expected output: Symbol()
const myObject = {
[mySymbol]: 'Hello World'
};
console.log(myObject);
Edit/add to the code above so that it outputs "Hello World"
Object
- Identify the name/keys in the object below: Name, Breed, Age, Color
- Identify the values in the object below: Elly, Rottweiler, 4, Black
const dogs = {name: "Elly", breed:"Rottweiler", age:4, color:"black"}
dogs
Array
const songs = ["Love Story", "Blank Space", "I Knew You Were Trouble"];
songs
const cost1 = 2;
const cost2 = 11;
let totalCost = cost1 + cost2;
totalCost
Conditionals: control behavior, decides whether or not pieces of code can run.
- If: if a condition is true it is used to specify execution for a block of code.
- Else: if the same condition is false it specifies the execution for a block of code.
- Else If: new test if the first condition is false.
if (10 > 5) {
var outcome = "True";
}
outcome;
if ("red" === "blue") {
var outcome = "if block";
} else {
var outcome = "else block";
}
outcome;
let temperature = 54
if (temperature < 70) {
cast = "Chilly";
} else if (temperature < 60) {
cast = "Cold";
} else {
cast = "Warm";
}
cast
Create a conditional statement about how you would greet someone based on the time of day.
let today = new Date();
let hourNow = today.getHours();
let greeting;
if (hourNow >= 0 && hourNow < 12) {
greeting = "Good morning!";
} else if (hourNow >= 12 && hourNow < 18) {
greeting = "Good afternoon!";
} else if (hourNow >= 18 && hourNow < 24) {
greeting = "Good evening!";
} else {
greeting = "Hello!";
}
console.log(greeting);
Iteration:
- for loop: repeats until a specified condition evaluates to false
- do...while: repeats until a specified condition evaluates to false
- while statement: executes its statements as long as a specified condition evaluates to true
- label: provides a statement with an identifier that lets you refer to it later in the code. ex. you can use a label to identify a loop, and then use the break or continue statements to indicate whether a program should interrupt the loop or continue its execution
- break: used to terminate a loop, switch, or in conjunction with a labeled statement
- continue: can be used to restart a while, do-while, for, or label statement
- for...in: iterates a specified variable over all the enumerable properties of an object
- for...of statement creates a loop Iterating over iterable objects, invoking a custom iteration hook with statements to be executed for the value of each distinct property
- We store the JavaScript code in a script block
- We can use the src = "path/file/files" command to fetch images stored in our directory
- OnClick is a function where a certain code segment will run if the corresponding button is clicked.
- We use the "script" function to write JS code.
