JavaScript as a scripting language:

 JavaScript as a scripting language:

  • JavaScript (also known as JS) is a scripting language, but what does scripting language mean? 
  • A scripting language is a programming language that allows some control of another software application(s). In the case of JavaScript, this application is the browser. 
  • JavaScript is actually an interpreted language and not a compiled language. 
  • The compilation is the process of converting high-level programming languages like Java, C++, etc. into machine code that a computer can execute.
  • In the case of JavaScript, an interpreter in the browser interprets each line of JavaScript code and runs it.

JavaScript can "display" data in different ways:

  • Writing into an HTML element, using innerHTML.
  • Writing into the HTML output using document.write().
  • Writing into an alert box, using window.alert().
  • Writing into the browser console, using console.log().

else-if condition in if-else statements: Concatenation in JavaScript :

  else-if condition in if-else statements: While specifying conditions for if-else statements, there may arise a need to include more than just two scenarios. For example, suppose we have a variable ‘n’ and we have to check if it is positive or negative. JS code for this problem would look like this: Quite simple, right? However, suppose we twist this problem a bit. If we have to check if the value of ‘n’ is positive, negative, OR zero. Can we do it using only if-else?  No, right? Here comes the scenario where we have to check more than two conditions and give output for each. This is where else-if comes into the game.  Structure of if else-if else looks something like this: If (condition 1)  { statements } else if (condition 2) { statements } else  { statements }   Working for the above code is explained as follows: Condition 1 is checked first. If it is true, statements inside the first block are executed and the remaining conditions are not checked. If t...
