Introduction

Congratulations for deciding to participate in a 30 days of JavaScript programming challenge . In this challenge you will learn everything you need to be a JavaScript programmer and in general the whole concepts of programming. In the end of the challenge you will get a 30DaysOfJavaScript programming challenge certificate. Join the telegram group.

A 30DaysOfJavaScript challenge is a guide for both beginners and advanced JavaScript developers. Welcome to JavaScript. I enjoy using and teaching JavaScript and I hope you will do so. JavaScript is the language of the browser.

In this step by step tutorial, you will learn JavaScript, the most popular programming language in the history of mankind. You use JavaScript to add interactivity to websites, to develop mobile apps, desktop applications, games and nowadays JavaScript can be used for machine learning and AI. JavaScript (JS) has increased in popularity in recent years and has been the leading programming language for four consecutive years and is the most used programming language on Github.

Requirements

No prior knowledge of programming is required to follow this challenge. You need only:

Motivation
Computer
Internet
Browser
Code Editor

Setup

I believe you have the motivation and a strong desire to be a developer, computer and Internet. If you have those, then you have everything.

Install Node.js

You may not need it right now but you may need it for later. Install node.js.

After downloading double click and install

We can check if node is installed in our local machine by opening our device terminal or command prompt.

asabeneh $ node -v
v12.14.0

I am using node version 12.14.0, which is the recommended version of node.

Browser

There are many browsers out there. However, I strongly recommend Google Chrome.

Installing Google Chrome

Install google chrome if you do not have one yet. We can write small JavaScript code on the browser console, but we do not use the browser console to develop applications.

Opening Google Chrome Console

You can open Google Chrome either by clicking three dots at the top right corner of the Chrome browser or using a shortcut. I prefer using shortcuts.

To open the Chrome console using a short cut.

Mac
Command+Option+I

Windows:
Ctl+Shift+I

After you open the Google Chrome console, try to explore the marked buttons. We will spend most of the time on the Console part. The Console is the place where your JavaScript code goes. The Google Console V8 engine changes your JavaScript code to machine code. Let us write a JavaScript code on the Google Chrome console:

Writing Code on browser Console

We can write any JavaScript code on the Google console or any browser console. However, for this challenge, we only focus on Google Chrome console. Open the console using:

Mac
Command+Option+I

Windows:
Ctl+Shift+I

Console.log

To write our first JavaScript code, we used a builtin function console.log(). We passed an argument as input data, and the function displays the output. We passed 'Hello, World' as input data or argument in the console.log() function.

console.log('Hello, World!')

Console.log with multiple arguments

The console.log(param1, param2, param3), can take multiple arguments.

console.log('Hello', 'World', '!')
console.log('HAPPY', 'NEW', 'YEAR', 2020)
console.log('Welcome', 'to', 30, 'Days', 'Of', 'JavaScript')

As you can see from the above snippet code, console.log() can take multiple arguments.

Congratulations! You wrote your first JavaScript code using console.log().

Comment

We add comments to our code. Comments are very important to make code more readable and to leave remarks in our code. JavaScript does not execute the comment part of our code. Any text starts with // in JavaScript is a comment or anything enclose like this /* */ is a comment.

Example: Single Line Comment

// This is the first comment
// This is the second comment
// I am a single line comment
Example: Multiline Comment

/* This is a multiline comment
Multiline comments can take multiple lines
JavaScript is the language of the web
*/

Syntax

JavaScript is a programming language. As a result, it has its syntax like other programming languages. If we do not write a syntax that JavaScript understands, it will raise different types of errors. We will explore different kinds of JavaScript errors later. For now, let us see syntax errors.

I made a deliberate mistake. As a result, the console raises a syntax error. Actually, the syntax is very informative. It informs what type of mistake we made. By reading the error feedback guideline, we can correct the syntax and fix the problem. The process of identifying and removing errors from a program is called debugging. Let us fix the errors:

console.log("Hello, World!")
console.log('Hello, World!')

So far, we saw how to display text using a console.log(). If we are printing text or string using console.log(), the text has to be under the single, double, or backtick. Example:

console.log("Hello, World!")
console.log('Hello, World!')
console.log(`Hello, World!`)

Arithmetics

Now, let us practice more writing JavaScript codes using console.log() on google chrome console for number data types. In addition to the text, we can also do mathematical calculations using JavaScript. Let us do the following simple calculations.

console.log(2 + 3)   // Addition
console.log(3 - 2)   // Subtraction
console.log(2 * 3)   // Multiplication  
console.log(3 / 2)   // Division
console.log(3 % 2)   // Modulus - finding remainder
console.log(3 ** 2)  // Exponential

Code Editor

We can write our codes on the browser console, but it won't be for bigger projects. In a real working environment, developers use different code editors to write their codes. In this 30 days python JavaScript challenge, we will use visual studio code.

Installing Visual Studio Code

VVisual studio code is a very popular open-source text editor. I would recommend to download visual studio code, but if you are in favor of other editors, feel free to follow with what you have.

If you installed visual studio code, let us start using it.

How to use visual studio code

Open the visual studio code by double-clicking the visual studio icon. When you open it, you will get this kind of interface. Try to interact with the labeled icons.

Adding JavaScript to a web page

JavaScript can be added to a web page in three different ways:

Inline script
Internal script
External script
Multiple External scripts

The following sections show different ways of adding JavaScript code to your web page.

Inline Script

Create a folder on your desktop and call it 30DaysOfJS or in any location and create an index.html file in the project folder. Then paste the following code and open it in a browser, either in Chrome.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>30DaysOfScript:Inline Script</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      <button onclick="alert('Welcome to 30DaysOfJavaScript!');">Click Me</button>
    </body>
  </html>

Now, you wrote your first inline script. We can create a pop up alert message using the built-in alert() function.

Internal script

The internal script can be written in the head or the body, but it is preferred to put it on the body of the HTML document. First, let us write on the head part of the page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
       <title>30DaysOfScript:Internal Script</title>
      <script>
        console.log("Welcome to 30DaysOfJavaScript");
</script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
  </html>

This is how we write the internal script most of the time. Writing the JavaScript code in the body section is the most preferred place. Open the browser console to see the output from the console.log()

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>30DaysOfScript:Internal Script</title>
    </head>
    <body>
       <button onclick="alert('Welcome to 30DaysOfJavaScript!');">Click Me</button>
      <script>
        console.log("Welcome to 30DaysOfJavaScript");
</script>
    </body>
  </html>

Open the browser console to see the output from the console.log()

External script

Similar to the internal script, the external script link can be on the header or body, but it is preferred to put it in the body. First, we should create an external JavaScript file with .js extension. Any JavaScript file ends with .js. Create a file introduction.js inside your project directory and write the following code and link this .js file at the bottom of the body.

console.log('Welcome to 30DaysOfJavaScript')

External scripts in the head

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>30DaysOfJavaScript:External script</title>
      <script src="introduction.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html

External scripts in the body

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>30DaysOfJavaScript:External script</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      //it could be in the header or in the body
      // Here is the recommended place to put the external script
      <script src="introduction.js"></script>
    </body>
    </html

Open the browser console to see the output from the console.log()

Multiple External scripts

We can link multiple external JavaScript files to a web page. Create a helloworld.js file inside the 30DaysOfJS folder and write the following code.

console.log('Hello, World!')

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>Multiple External Scripts</title>
    </head>
    <body>

      <script src ="./helloworld.js"></script>
      <script src="./introduction.js"></script>
    </body>
  </html

Your main.js file should be below all other scripts. Watch out your exercise needs to understand this line.

Introduction to Data types

In JavaScript and also other programming languages, there are different kinds of data types. The following are JavaScript primitive data types:String, Number, Boolean, undefined, Null, and Symbol.

Number

Integer: Integer(negative, zero and positive) numbers Example: ... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ...
Float: Decimal number Example ... -3.5, -2.25, -1.0, 0.0, 1.1, 2.2, 3.5 ...

String

A collection of one or more characters under a single quote, double-quote, or backtick. Example:

'Asabeneh'
'Finland'
'JavaScript is a beautiful programming language'
"I love teaching"
'I hope you are enjoying the first day'
`We can also create a string using a backtick`

Booleans

A boolean value is either true or false. Any comparisons return a boolean value, which is either true or false.

A boolean data type is either a True or False value.

Example:

    true  # if the light on ,the value is true
    false # if the light off, the value is False

Undefined

In JavaScript, if we don't assign a value to a variable, the value is undefined. In addition to that, if a function is not returning anything, it returns undefined.

let firstName;
console.log(firstName); //not defined, because it is not assigned to a value yet

Null

Null in JavaScript means an empty value.

let emptyValue = nulll

Checking Data types

To check the data type of a certain data type, we use the typeof operator. See the following example.

console.log(typeof 'Asabeneh') // string
console.log(typeof 5)          // number
console.log(typeof true )     // boolean
console.log(typeof null)      // object type
console.log(typeof undefined)  // undefined

Comments

Commenting in JavaScript is similar to other programming languages. Comments are important in making your make code more readable. There are two ways of commenting:

Single line commenting
Multiline commenting

// let firstName = 'Asabeneh'; single line comment
// let lastName = 'Yetayeh'; single line comment

Multiline commenting:

/*
    let location = 'Helsinki';
    let age = 100;
    let isMarried = true;
    This is a Multiple line comment
    */

Variables

Variables are containers of data. Variables used to store data in a memory location. When a variable is declared, a memory location is reserved. When a variable is assigned to a value (data), the memory space will be filled with that data. To declare a variable, we use var, let, or const keywords. We will talk more about var, let, and const in detail in other sections (scope). For now, the above explanation is enough.

For a variable that changes at a different time, we use let. If the data does not change at all, we use const. For example, PI, country name, gravity do no change, and we can use const.

A JavaScript variable name should not begin with a number.
A JavaScript variable name does not allow special characters except dollar sign and underscore.
A JavaScript variable name follows a camelCase convention.
A JavaScript variable name should not have space between words.

The following are valid examples of JavaScript variables. Valid variables in JavaScript:

    firstName
    lastName
    country
    city
    capitalCity
    age
    isMarried

    first_name
    last_name
    is_marreid
    capital_city

    num1
    num_1
    _num_1
    $num1
    year2020
    year_2020

camelCase or the first way of declaring is conventional in JavaScript. In this material, we will use camelCase variables. Invalid variable:

  first-name
  1_num
  num_#_1

Let us declare variables with different data types. To declare a variable, we need to use let or const keyword before the variable name. Following the variable name, we write an equal sign (assignment operator), and a value.

  # Syntax
  let nameOfVariable = value

Examples: Variables

// Declaring different variables of different data types
let firstName = 'Asabeneh' // first name of a person
let lastName = 'Yetayeh' // last name of a person
let country = 'Finland' // country
let city = 'Helsinki' // capital city
let age = 100 // age in years
let isMarried = true
console.log(firstName, lastName, country, city, age, isMarried); //Asabeneh, Yetayeh, Finland, Helsinki, 100, True

// Declaring variables with number values
const gravity = 9.81; // earth gravity  in m/s2
const boilingPoint = 100; // water boiling point, temperature in oC
const PI = 3.14; // geometrical constant
console.log(gravity, boilingPoint, PI); // 9.81, 100, 3.14
// Variables can also be declaring in one line separated by comma
let name = 'Asabeneh', //name of a person
  job = 'teacher',
  live = 'Finland';
console.log(name, job, live);

When you run the files on 01-Day folder you should get this:

📔 Day 2

Data types

In the previous section, we mentioned a little bit about data types. Data or values have data types. Data types describe the characteristics of data. Data types can be divided into two

Primitive data types
Non-primitive data types(Object References)

Primitive Data Types

Primitive data types in JavaScript includes:

Numbers - Integers, floats
Strings - Any data under single or double quote
Booleans - true or false value
Null - empty value or no value
Undefined - a declared variable without a value

Non-primitive data types in JavaScript includes:

Objects
Functions
Arrays

Now, let us see what exactly mean primitive and non-primitive data types. Primitive data types are immutable(non-modifiable) data types. Once a primitive data type is created we can not modify it. Example:

let word = 'JavaScript'

If we try to modify the string stored in variable word, JavaScript will raise an error. Any data type under a single quote, double-quote, or backtick is a string data type.

word[0] = 'Y'

This expression does not change the string stored in the variable word. So, we can say that strings are not modifiable or immutable. Primitive data types are compared by its values. Let us compare different data values. See the example below:

let numOne = 3
let numTwo = 3
console.log(numOne == numTwo)      // true

let js = 'JavaScript'
let py = 'Python'
console.log(js == py)             //false 

let lightOn = true
let lightOff = false
console.log(lightOn == lightOff) // false

Non-Primitive Data Types

Non-primitive data types are modifiable or mutable. We can modify the value of non-primitive data types after it gets created. Let us see by creating an array. An array is a list of data values in a square bracket. Arrays can contain the same or different data types. Array values are referenced by their index. In JavaScript array index starts at zero. I.e., the first element of an array is found at index zero, the second element at index one, and the third element at index two, etc.

let nums = [1, 2, 3]
nums[0] = 10
console.log(nums)  // [10, 2, 3]

As you can see, an array in which a non-primitive data type is mutable. Non-primitive data types can not be compared by value. Even if two non-primitive data types have the same properties and values, they are not strictly equal.

let nums = [1, 2, 3]
let numbers = [1, 2, 3]
console.log(nums == numbers)  // false

let userOne = {
name:'Asabeneh',
role:'teaching',
country:'Finland'
}
let userTwo = {
name:'Asabeneh',
role:'teaching',
country:'Finland'
}
console.log(userOne == userTwo)

Rule of thumb, we do not compare non-primitive data types. Do not compare array, function, or object. Non-primitive values are referred to as reference types because they are being compared by reference instead of value. Two objects are only strictly equal if they refer to the same underlying object.

let nums = [1, 2, 3]
let numbers = nums
console.log(nums == numbers)  // true

let userOne = {
name:'Asabeneh',
role:'teaching',
country:'Finland'
}
let userTwo = userOne
console.log(userOne == userTwo)  // true

If you have a hard time understanding the difference between primitive data types and non-primitive data types, you are not the only one. Calm down and just go to the next section and try to come back after some time. Now let us start the data types by number type.

Numbers

Numbers are integers and decimal values which can do all the arithmetic operations. Lets' see some examples of Numbers.

Declaring number data types

let age = 35
const gravity = 9.81 //we use const for non-changing values, gravitational constant in  m/s2
let mass = 72 // mass in Kilogram
const PI = 3.14 // pi a geometrical constant

//More Examples
const boilingPoint = 100 // temperature in oC, boiling point of water which is a constant
const bodyTemp = 37 // oC average human body temperature, which is a constant
console.log(age, gravity, mass, PI, boilingPoint, bodyTemp)

Math Object

In JavaScript the Math Object provides a lots of methods to work with numbers.

const PI = Math.PI
console.log(PI)                  // 3.141592653589793
console.log(Math.round(PI))      // 3; to round values to the nearest number
console.log(Math.round(9.81))    // 10
console.log(Math.floor(PI))      // 3; rounding down
console.log(Math.ceil(PI))       // 4; rounding up
console.log(Math.min(-5, 3, 20, 4,5, 10))    // -5, returns the minimum value
console.log(Math.max(-5, 3, 20, 4,5, 10))    // 20, returns the maximum value

const randNum = Math.random() // creates random number between 0 to 0.999999
console.log(randNum)
// Let create random number between 0 to 10
const num = Math.floor(Math.random () * 11) // creates random number between 0 and 10
console.log(num)

//Absolute value
console.log(Math.abs(-10))    //10
//Square root
console.log(Math.sqrt(100))     // 10
console.log(Math.sqrt(2))      //1.4142135623730951
// Power
console.log(Math.pow(3, 2)) // 9
console.log(Math.E) // 2.718

// Logarithm
//Returns the natural logarithm of base E of x, Math.log(x)
console.log(Math.log(2))    // 0.6931471805599453
console.log(Math.log(10))   // 2.302585092994046

// Trigonometry
Math.sin(0)
Math.sin(60)

Math.cos(0)
Math.cos(60)

Strings

Strings are texts, which are under single or double quote. To declare a string, we need a variable name, assignment operator, a value under a single quote, double-quote, or backtick. Lets' see some examples of string:

let space = ' ' // an empty space string
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh'
let country = 'Finland'
let city = 'Helsinki'
let language = 'JavaScript'
let job = 'teacher'

String Concatenation

Connect two or more strings together is called concatenation.

// Declaring different variables of different data types
let space = ' '
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh'
let country = 'Finland'
let city = 'Helsinki'
let language = 'JavaScript'
let job = 'teacher'

let fullName = firstName + space + lastName; // concatenation, merging two string together.
console.log(fullName);

// out
Asabeneh Yetayeh

We can concatenate string in different ways.

Concatenating using addition operator

Concatenating using the addition operator is an old way. This way of concatenating is tedious and error-prone. It is good to know how to concatenate this way, but I strongly suggest to use the second way.

// Declaring different variables of different data types
let space = ' '
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh'
let country = 'Finland'
let city = 'Helsinki'
let language = 'JavaScript'
let job = 'teacher'
let age = 250
let fullName = firstName + space + lastName
let personInfoOne = fullName + '. I am ' + age + '. I live in ' + country; // ES5
console.log(personInfoOne)

Asabeneh Yetayeh. I am 250. I live in Finland

Long Literal Strings

A string could be a single character or paragraph or a page. If the string length is too big it does not fit in one line. We can use the backslash character () at the end of each line to indicate that the string will continue on the next line. Example:

const paragraph = "My name is Asabeneh Yetayeh. I live in Finland, Helsinki.\
I am a teacher and I love teaching. I teach HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Redux, \
Node.js, Python, Data Analysis and D3.js for anyone who is interested to learn. \
In the end of 2019, I was thinking to expand my teaching and to reach \
to global audience and I started a Python challenge from November 20 - December 19.\
It was one of the most rewarding and inspiring experience.\
Now, we are in 2020. I am enjoying preparing the 30DaysOfJavaScript challenge and \
I hope you are enjoying too."
console.log(paragraph)

Escape Sequences in string

In JavaScript and other programming language \ followed by some characters is an escape sequence. Let's see the most common escape characters:

\n: new line
\t: Tab means(8 spaces)
\\: Back slash
\': Single quote (')
\":Double quote (")

console.log('I hope every one is enjoying the 30 Days Of JavaScript challenge.\nDo you ?') // line break
console.log('Days\tTopics\tExercises')
console.log('Day 1\t3\t5')
console.log('Day 2\t3\t5')
console.log('Day 3\t3\t5')
console.log('Day 4\t3\t5')
console.log('This is a back slash  symbol (\\)') // To write a back slash
console.log('In every programming language it starts with \"Hello, World!\"')
console.log("In every programming language it starts with \'Hello, World!\'")
console.log('The saying \'Seeing is Believing\' is\'t correct in 2020')

Template Literals(Template Strings)

To create a template string, we use two backticks. We can inject data as expression inside a template string. To inject data, we enclose the expression with a curly bracket({}) followed by a $ sign. See the syntax below.

//Syntax
`String literal text`
`String literal text ${expression}`

Example: 1

console.log(`The sum of 2 and 3 is 5`)
let a = 2
let b = 3
console.log(`The sum of ${a} and ${b} is ${a + b}`)

Example:2

let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh'
let country = 'Finland'
let city = 'Helsinki'
let language = 'JavaScript'
let job = 'teacher'
let age = 250
let fullName = firstName + ' ' + lastName

let personInfoTwo = `I am ${fullName}. I am ${age}. I live in ${country}.` //ES6 - String interpolation method
let personInfoThree = `I am ${fullName}. I live in ${city}, ${country}. I am a ${job}. I teach ${language}.`
console.log(personInfoTwo)
console.log(personInfoThree)

I am Asabeneh Yetayeh. I am 250. I live in Finland.
I am Asabeneh Yetayeh. I live in Helsinki, Finland. I am a teacher. I teach JavaScript.

Using a string template or string interpolation method, we can add expression, which could be a value or some operations(comparison, arithmetic operations, ternary operation).

let a = 2
let b = 3
console.log(`${a} is greater than ${b}: ${a > b}`)

2 is greater than 3: false

String Methods

Everything in JavaScript is an object. A string is a primitive data type that means we can not modify once it is created. The string object has many string methods. There are different string methods that can help us to work with strings.

length: The string length method returns the number of characters in a string included empty space. Example:

let js = 'JavaScript'
console.log(js.length)        // 10
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
console.log(firstName.length) // 8

Accessing characters in a string: We can access each character in a string using its index. In programming, counting starts from 0. The first index of the string is zero, and the last index is one minus the length of the string.

Let us access different characters in 'JavaScript' string.

let string = 'JavaScript'
let firstLetter = string[0]
console.log(firstLetter) // J
let secondLetter = string[1] // a
let thirdLetter = string[2]
let lastLetter = string[9] 
console.log(lastLetter) // t
let lastIndex = string.length - 1
console.log(lastIndex)  // 9
console.log(string[lastIndex]) // t

toUpperCase(): this method changes the string to uppercase letters.

let string = 'JavaScript'
console.log(string.toUpperCase())      // JAVASCRIPT
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
console.log(firstName.toUpperCase())  // ASABENEH
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.toUpperCase())    // FINLAND

toLowerCase(): this method changes the string to lowercase letters.

let string = 'JavasCript'
console.log(string.toLowerCase())     // javascript
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
console.log(firstName.toLowerCase())  // asabeneh
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.toLowerCase())   // finland

substr(): It takes two arguments,the starting index and number of characters to slice.

let string = 'JavaScript'
console.log(string.substr(4,6))    // Script
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.substr(3, 4))   // land

substring(): It takes two arguments,the starting index and the stopping index but it doesn't include the stopping index.

let string = 'JavaScript'
console.log(string.substring(0,4))    // Java
console.log(string.substring(4,10))    // Script
console.log(string.substring(4))    // Script
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.substring(0, 3))   // Fin
console.log(country.substring(3, 7))   // land
console.log(country.substring(3))   // land

split(): The split method splits a string at a specified place.

string.indexOf(substring)

let string = '30 Days Of JavaScript'
console.log(string.indexOf('D'))          // 3
console.log(string.indexOf('Days'))       // 3

let string = 'love'
let patternOne = /love/ // with out any flag
let patternTwo = /love/gi // g-means to search in the whole text, i - case insensitive

string.match(substring)

let string = 'I love JavaScript. If you do not love JavaScript what else can you love.'
console.log(string.match('love')) //
/*
output

["love", index: 2, input: "I love JavaScript. If you do not love JavaScript what else can you love.", groups: undefined]
*/
let pattern = /love/gi
console.log(string.match(pattern)) // ["love", "love", "love"]

Let us extract numbers from text using regular expression. This is not regular expression section, no panic.

let txt = 'In 2019, I run 30 Days of Pyhton. Now, in 2020 I super exited to start this challenge'
let regEx = /\d+/ // d with escape character means d not a normal d instead acts a digit
// + means one or more digit numbers, 
// if there is g after that it means global, search everywhere.
console.log(txt.match(regEx)) // ["2", "0", "1", "9", "3", "0", "2", "0", "2", "0"]
console.log(txt.match(/\d+/g)) // ["2019", "30", "2020"]

📔 Day 3

Booleans

A boolean data type represents one of the two values:true or false. Boolean value is either true or false. The use of these data types will be clear when you start the comparison operator. Any comparisons return a boolean value which is either true or false.

Example: Boolean Values

let isLightOn = true;
let isRaining = false;
let isHungry = false;
let isMarried = true;
let truValue = 4 > 3    // true
let falseValue = 3 < 4  // false

We agreed that boolean values are either true or false.

Truthy values

All numbers(positive and negative) are truthy except zero
All strings are truthy
The boolean true

Falsy values

0
0n
null
undefined
NaN
the boolean false
'', "", ``, empty string

It is good to remember those truthy values and falsy values. In later section, we will use them with conditions to make decision.

Undefined

If we declare a variable and if we do not assign a value, the value will be undefined. In addition to this, if a function is not returning the value will be undefined.

let firstName;
console.log(firstName); //not defined, because it is not assigned to a value yet

Null

let empty = null;
console.log(empty); // -> null , means no value

Operators

Assignment operators

An equal sign in JavaScript is an assignment operator. It uses to assign a variable.

let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let country = 'Finland'

Assignment Operators

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are mathematical operators.

Addition(+): a + b
Subtraction(-): a - b
Multiplication(*): a * b
Division(/): a / b
Modulus(%):a % b
Exponential(**):a ** b

let numOne = 4;
let numTwo = 3;
let sum = numOne + numTwo;
let diff = numOne - numTwo;
let mult = numOne * numTwo;
let div = numOne / numTwo;
let remainder = numOne % numTwo;
let powerOf = numOne ** numTwo
console.log(sum, diff, mult, div, remainder, powerOf); // ->7,1,12,1.33,1, 64

let PI = 3.14;
let radius = 100; // length in meter

const gravity = 9.81; // in m/s2
let mass = 72; // in Kilogram
const boilingPoint = 100; // temperature in oC, boiling point of water
const bodyTemp = 37; // body temperature in oC

//Let us calculate area of a circle
const areaOfCircle = PI * radius * radius;
console.log(areaOfCircle); // -> 314 m
// Let us calculate weight of an object
const weight = mass * gravity;
console.log(weight); // -> 706.32 N(Newton)

//Concatenating string with numbers using string interpolation
/*
 The boiling point of water is 100 oC.
 Human body temperature is 37 oC.
 The gravity of earth is 9.81 m/s2.
 */
console.log(
  `The boiling point of water is ${boilingPoint} oC.\nHuman body temperature is ${bodyTemp} oC.\nThe gravity of earth is ${gravity} m / s2.`
);

Comparison Operators

In programming we compare values, we use comparison operators to compare two values. We check if a value is greater or less or equal to other value.

Example: Comparison Operators

console.log(3 > 2)     // true, because 3 is greater than 2
console.log(3 >= 2)    // true, because 3 is greater than 2
console.log(3 < 2)     // false,  because 3 is greater than 2
console.log(2 < 3)     // true, because 2 is less than 3
console.log(2 <= 3)    // true, because 2 is less than 3
console.log(3 == 2)    // false, because 3 is not equal to 2
console.log(3 != 2)    // true, because 3 is not equal to 2
console.log(3 == '3')    // true, compare only value
console.log(3 === '3')    // false, compare both value and data type
console.log(3 !== '3')    // true, compare both value and data type
console.log(3 !== '3')    // true, compare both value and data type
console.log(3 != 3)    // false, compare only value
console.log(3 !== 3)    // false, compare both value and data type

console.log('mango'.length == 'avocado'.length)  // false
console.log('mango'.length != 'avocado'.length)  // true
console.log('mango'.length < 'avocado'.length)   // true
console.log('milk'.length != 'meat'.length)      // false
console.log('milk'.length == 'meat'.length)      // true
console.log('tomato'.length == 'potato'.length)  // true
console.log('python'.length > 'dragon'.length)   // false

Logical Operators

The following symbols are the common logical operators: &&(ampersand) , ||(pipe) and !(negation). && gets true only if the two operands are true. || gets true either of the operand is true. ! negates true to false, false to true.

//&& ampersand example
const check = 4 > 3 && 10 > 5; // true and true -> true
const check = 4 > 3 && 10 < 5; // true and false -> false
const check = 4 < 3 && 10 < 5; // false and false -> false
//|| pipe or, example
const check = 4 > 3 || 10 > 5; // true and true -> true
const check = 4 > 3 || 10 < 5; // true and false -> true
const check = 4 < 3 || 10 < 5; // false and false -> false
//! Negation examples
let check = 4 > 3; // -> true
let check = !(4 > 3); // -> false
let isLightOn = true;
let isLightOff = !isLightOn; // -> false
let isMarried = !false; // -> true

Increment Operator

In JavaScrip we use the increment operator to increase a value stored in a variable. The increment could be pre or post increment. Let us see each of them:

Pre-increment

let count = 0
console.log(++count) // 1
console.log(count)    // 1

Post-increment

let count = 0
console.log(count++) // 0
console.log(count)    // 1

We use most of the time post-increment. At leas you should remember how to use post-increment operator.

Decrement Operator

In JavaScrip we use the decrement operator to decrease a value stored in a variable. The decrement could be pre or post decrement. Let us see each of them:

Pre-decrement

let count = 0
console.log(--count) // -1
console.log(count)    // -1

Post-decrement

let count = 0
console.log(count--) // 0
console.log(count)    // -1

Ternary Operators

Ternary operator allows to write a condition. Another way to write conditionals is using ternary operators. Look at the following examples:

let isRaining = true
isRaining
  ? console.log('You need a rain coat.')
  : console.log('No need for a rain coat.');
isRaining = false

isRaining
  ? console.log('You need a rain coat.')
  : console.log('No need for a rain coat.');

You need a rain coat.
No need for a rain coat.

let number = 5
number > 0
  ? console.log(`${number} is a positive number`)
  : console.log(`${number} is a number number`);
number = -5

number > 0
  ? console.log(`${number} is a positive number`)
  : console.log(`${number} is a number number`);

5 is a positive number
-5 is a number number

Operator Precendence

I would like to recommend you to read about operator precendence from this link

Window Methods

Window alert() method

As you have seen at very beginning alert() method displays an alert box with a specified message and an OK button. It is a builtin method and it takes on argument.

alert(mesage)

alert('Welcome to 30DaysOfJavaScript')

Do not use too much alert because it is destructing and annoying, use it just for to test.

Window prompt() method

The window prompt methods display a prompt box with an input on your browser to take input values and the input data can be stored in a variable. The prompt() method takes two arguments. The second argument is optional.

prompt('required text', 'optional text')

let number = prompt('Enter number', 'number goes here')
console.log(number)

Window confirm() method

The confirm() method displays a dialog box with a specified message, along with an OK and a Cancel button. A confirm box is often used to ask permission from a user to do something. Window confirm() takes an string as an argument. Clicking the OK yields true value, clicking the Cancel yields true value.

const agree = confirm('Do you like to delete ? ')
console.log(agree)

Date Object

Time is an important thing. We like to know the time a certain activity or event. In JavaScript current time and date is created using JavaScript Date Object. The object we create using Date object provides many methods to work with date and time.The methods we use to get date and time information from a date object values are started with a word get because it provide the information. getFullYear(), getMonths(), getDate(), getDay(), getHours(), getMinutes, getSeconds(), getMilliseconds(), getTime(), getDay()

Creating a time object

Once we create time object. The time object will provide information about time. Let us create a time object

const now  = new Date ()
console.log(now) // Sat Jan 04 2020 00:56:41 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)

We have created a time object and we can access any date time information from the object using the get methods we have mentioned on the table.

Getting full year

Let's extract or get the full from a time object.

const now  = new Date ()
console.log(now.getFullYear()) // 2020

Getting month

Let's extract or get the month from a time object.

const now  = new Date ()
console.log(now.getMonth()) // 0, because the month is January,  month(0-11)

Getting date

Let's extract or get the date of the month from a time object.

const now  = new Date ()
console.log(now.getMonth()) // 0, because the month is January,  month(0-11)

Getting hours

Let's extract or get the hours from a time object.

const now  = new Date ()
console.log(now.getHours()) // 0, because the time is 00:56:41

Getting minutes

Let's extract or get the minutes from a time object.

const now  = new Date ()
console.log(now.getMinutes()) // 56, because the time is 00:56:41

Getting seconds

Let's extract or get the minutes from a time object.

const now  = new Date () // 
console.log(now.getMinutes()) // 56, because the time is 00:56:41

Getting time

This method give time in milliseconds starting from January 1, 1970. It is also know as Unix time. We can get the unix time in two ways:

Using getTime()

const now  = new Date () //
console.log(now.getTime()) // 1578092201341, this is the number of seconds passed from January 1, 1970 to January 4, 2020 00:56:41

Using Date.now()

const allSeconds  = Date.now () //
console.log(allSeconds) // 1578092201341, this is the number of seconds passed from January 1, 1970 to January 4, 2020 00:56:41
const timeInSeconds = new Date ().getTime() 
console.log(allSeconds == timeInSeconds) // true

Let us format these values to a human readable time format. Example:

const now = new Date ();
const year = now.getFullYear(); // return year
const month = now.getMonth() + 1; // return month(0 - 11)
const date = now.getDate(); // return date (1 - 31)
const hours = now.getHours(); // return number (0 - 23)
const minutes = now.getMinutes();// return number (0 -59)
console.log(`${date}/${month}/${year} ${hours}:${minutes}`) // 4/1/2020 0:56

4 > 3 || 10 < 12
4 > 3 || 10 > 12
!(4 > 3)
!(4 < 3)
!(false)
!(4 > 3 && 10 < 12)
!(4 > 3 && 10 > 12)
!(4 === '4')

6 Ternary Operator

If the length of your name is greater than 7 say, your name is long else say your name is short.
Compare your first name length and your family name length and you should get this output.

let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh

//Output
Your first name, Asabeneh is longer than your family name, Yetayeh

Declare two variables myAge and yourAge and assign them initial values and myAge and yourAge. Output:
```
let myAge = 250
let yourAge = 25
```
```
//output
I am 225 years older than you.
```
Using prompt get the year the user was born and if the user is 18 or above allow the user to drive if not tell the user to wait a certain amount of years.

// if the age is 25
You are 25. You are old enough to drive
// if the age is under 18
 You are 15. You will be allowed to drive after 3 years.
