Javascript Tutorial For Beginners LearnCode.academy #1

JavaScript is what gives your website functionality.

You create variables in JS by saying "var x = 1", right there we made a variable called "x" equal to 1.

There's a function in JavaScript called "alert()" where whatever you put there a message dialog shows up on your screen and outputs it.

There are several data types in Javscript, similar to all other programming languages.

Number: var x = 1
String: var x = "1"

There's another function called "prompt()", which asks for the user to input something in a dialog that shows up on the screen.

So for example, if I were to do "var name = prompt()", it would ask you to input something and whatever you put would be stored as name.

You can also do, "var name = prompt("What is your first name?")"

Also, JavaScript ends each line with a semicolon ";"
