note to self: look up rules for defining variables.

Program Structure

  • Assignment of values uses var age = 22 syntax.

  • The default value of an a var that has no value assigned to it is undefined.

  • Variable names are case-sensitive so TheDanger != thedanger.

  • The following is a list of reserved keywords that cannot be used as variables: break case catch class const continue debugger default delete do else enum export extends false finally for function if implements import in instanceof interface let new null package private protected public return static super switch this throw true try typeof var void while with yield

  • continue : used to exit the current iteration of a loop but continue onto the next one.

  • break : exits the current loop completely.

  • switch statement is used for if else loops that have multiple outcomes.

      switch(age) {
      case(18):
          console.log("adult");
          break;
      case(64):
          console.log("senior");
          break;
      default:
          console.log("senior")
  }

Note: switch is used to compare the given value to cases of other values. Trying to use logical

operators will NOT work UNLESS you compare the value true to operators such as age < 64

  • camelCase is usually used to define variables. ex: theOneAndOnlyShazam.

  • comments use the following syntax:

      // for single lines and
  /* Is used for
  multiple lines of
  commenting
  */
