  28.  
  29.    - **Browser Developer Tools**
  30.    
  31.      Most web browsers offer developer tools that include JavaScript consoles, allowing you to test and debug your code directly in the browser.
  32.  
  33. 3. **Writing Your First JavaScript Code**
  34.  
  35.    - **The `<script>` Tag**
  36.    
  37.      To include JavaScript in an HTML document, use the `<script>` tag. Place it within the `<head>` or `<body>` of your HTML file.
  38.  
  39.      ```html
  40.      <script>
  41.          // Your JavaScript code goes here
  42.      </script>
  43.      ```
  44.  
  45.    - **Output with `console.log()`**
  46.    
  47.      `console.log()` is a method used for debugging and displaying information in the browser console. It's an essential tool for beginners.
  48.  
  49.       ```javascript
  50.       console.log("Hello, World!");
  51.       ```
  52.  
  53. 4. **Variables and Data Types**
  54.  
  55.     - **Declaring Variables (`let`, `const`, `var`)**
  56.    
  57.       JavaScript variables are containers for storing data. You can declare them using `let`, `const`, or `var`.
  58.  
  59.       ```javascript
  60.       let userName = "John";
  61.       const userAge = 30;
  62.       var userEmail = "john@example.com";
  63.       ```
  64.  
  65.     - **Data Types (Strings, Numbers, Booleans)**
  66.    
  67.       JavaScript supports various data types:
  68.      
  69.       - **Strings:** Used for text, like `"Hello, World!"`.
  70.       - **Numbers:** Used for numeric values, like `42` or `3.14`.
  71.       - **Booleans:** Used for true or false values, like `true` or `false`.
  72.  
  73.       ```javascript
  74.       let greeting = "Hello, World!";
  75.       let itemCount = 10;
  76.       let isLogged = false;
  77.       ```
  78.  
  79. 5. **Operators and Expressions**
  80.  
  81.     - **Arithmetic Operators (+, -, *, /, %)**
  82.    
  83.       Arithmetic operators allow you to perform mathematical calculations.
  84.  
  85.       ```javascript
  86.       let sum = 5 + 3; // 8
  87.       let product = 4 * 6; // 24
  88.       ```
  89.  
  90.     - **Comparison Operators (==, ===, !=, !==, >, <)**
  91.    
  92.       Comparison operators are used to compare values.
  93.  
  94.       ```javascript
  95.       let isEqual = 5 === "5"; // false
  96.       let isGreater = 10 > 5; // true
  97.       ```
  98.  
  99.     - **Logical Operators (&&, ||, !)**
  100.    
  101.       Logical operators are used to combine or negate conditions.
  102.  
  103.       ```javascript
  104.       let isLoggedIn = true;
  105.       let isAdmin = false;
  106.       let canEdit = isLoggedIn && isAdmin; // false
  107.       ```
  108.  
  109. 6. **Conditional Statements**
  110.  
  111.     - **`if` Statements**
  112.    
  113.       `if` statements allow you to execute code conditionally.
  114.  
  115.       ```javascript
  116.       if (userAge >= 18) {
  117.           console.log("You are an adult.");
  118.       } else {
  119.           console.log("You are a minor.");
  120.       }
  121.       ```
  122.  
  123.     - **`else` and `else if`**
  124.    
  125.       Use `else` and `else if` to handle multiple conditions.
  126.  
  127.       ```javascript
  128.       if (score >= 90) {
  129.           console.log("A Grade");
  130.       } else if (score >= 80) {
  131.           console.log("B Grade");
  132.       } else {
  133.           console.log("C Grade or below");
  134.       }
  135.       ```
  136.  
  137.     - **Ternary Operator**
  138.    
  139.       The ternary operator provides a concise way to write conditional expressions.
  140.  
  141.       ```javascript
  142.       let isMember = (age >= 18) ? "Yes" : "No";
  143.       ```
  144.  
  145. 7. **Loops**
  146.  
  147.     - **`for` Loop**
  148.    
  149.       A `for` loop allows you to execute code repeatedly.
  150.  
  151.       ```javascript
  152.       for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  153.           console.log("Iteration " + i);
  154.       }
  155.       ```
  156.  
  157.     - **`while` Loop**
  158.    
  159.       The `while` loop repeats code while a condition is true.
  160.  
  161.       ```javascript
  162.       let counter = 0;
  163.       while (counter < 3) {
  164.           console.log("Count: " + counter);
  165.           counter++;
  166.       }
  167.       ```
  168.  
  169.     - **`do...while` Loop**
  170.    
  171.       The `do...while` loop ensures that code is executed at least once.
  172.  
  173.       ```javascript
  174.       let x = 0;
  175.       do {
  176.           console.log("Value of x: " + x);
  177.           x++;
  178.       } while (x < 3);
  179.       ```
  180.  
  181. 8. **Functions**
  182.  
  183.     - **Declaring Functions**
  184.    
  185.       Functions are reusable blocks of code.
  186.  
  187.       ```javascript
  188.       function greet(name) {
  189.           console.log("Hello, " + name + "!");
  190.       }
  191.       ```
  192.  
  193.     - **Function Parameters and Return Values**
  194.    
  195.       Functions can take parameters and return values.
  196.  
  197.       ```javascript
  198.       function add(a, b) {
  199.           return a + b;
  200.       }
  201.       ```
  202.  
  203.     - **Arrow Functions**
  204.    
  205.       Arrow functions provide a concise syntax for defining functions.
  206.  
  207.       ```javascript
  208.       const multiply = (a, b) => a * b;
  209.       ```
  210.  
  211. 9. **Arrays**
  212.  
  213.     - **Creating and Accessing Arrays**
  214.    
  215.       Arrays are used to store collections of data.

  219.       console.log(colors[0]); // "red"
  220.       ```
  221.  
  222.     - **Array Methods (push, pop, shift, unshift)**
  223.    
  224.       Array methods allow you to manipulate arrays.
  225.  
  226.       ```javascript
  227.       colors.push("yellow"); // Add an element to the end
  228.       colors.pop(); // Remove the last element
  229.       colors.shift(); // Remove the first element
  230.       colors.unshift("purple"); // Add an element to the beginning
  231.       ```
  232.  
  233. 10. **Objects**
  234.  
  235.     - **Object Literals**
  236.    
  237.       Objects are used to store key-value pairs.
  238.  
  239.       ```javascript
  240.       let person = {
  241.           name: "John",
  242.           age: 30,
  243.           email: "john@example.com"
  244.       };
  245.       ```
  246.  
  247.     - **Accessing Object Properties**
