JAVA Script for Beginners

Tutorial 1: Introduction to JavaScript

Objective: Understand the basics of JavaScript and how to include it in an HTML document.

Code Example:

JavaScript Introduction

Hello, JavaScript!

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>JavaScript Introduction</title>
</head>

<body>
    <h1>Hello, JavaScript!</h1>

    <script>
        // JavaScript code goes here
        alert("Welcome to JavaScript!");
    </script>
</body>

</html>

Explanation:

  • JavaScript code is included within <script> tags in an HTML document.
  • The alert() function displays a pop-up alert with the specified message.

Tutorial 2: Variables and Data Types

Objective: Learn how to declare variables and work with different data types in JavaScript.

Code Example:

// Declare variables
let message = “Hello, JavaScript!”;
let number = 42;
let isTrue = true;

// Display variables
console.log(message);
console.log(number);
console.log(isTrue);

Explanation:

  • let is used to declare variables.
  • Variables can hold strings, numbers, booleans, and more.
  • console.log() prints output to the browser console.

Tutorial 3: Functions and Control Flow

Objective: Understand how to create functions and control the flow of a program.

Code Example:

// Function declaration
function greet(name) {
return “Hello, ” + name + “!”;
}

// Function call
let greeting = greet(“John”);
console.log(greeting);

// Conditional statement
let age = 25;
if (age >= 18) {
console.log(“You are an adult.”);
} else {
console.log(“You are a minor.”);
}

Explanation:

  • Functions are defined using function keyword.
  • Functions can take parameters and return values.
  • Conditional statements (if, else) allow you to control the program flow based on conditions.

Tutorial 4: Arrays and Loops

Objective: Learn about arrays and how to use loops in JavaScript.

Code Example:

javascriptCopy code

// Array declaration let colors = ["red", "green", "blue"]; // Loop through array elements for (let i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) { console.log(colors[i]); } // Alternative: forEach loop colors.forEach(function(color) { console.log(color); });

Explanation:

  • Arrays can store multiple values.
  • for loop iterates over array elements using an index.
  • forEach loop simplifies the process of iterating over array elements.

Tutorial 5: DOM Manipulation

Objective: Understand how to manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) using JavaScript.

Code Example:

htmlCopy code

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>DOM Manipulation</title> </head> <body> <h1 id="heading">Hello, DOM!</h1> <script> // Change text content document.getElementById("heading").textContent = "Updated heading"; // Create a new element let newParagraph = document.createElement("p"); newParagraph.textContent = "This is a new paragraph."; // Append the new element to the body document.body.appendChild(newParagraph); </script> </body> </html>

Explanation:

  • The DOM represents the structure of an HTML document as a tree of objects.
  • document.getElementById() selects an element by its ID.
  • createElement() creates a new HTML element.
  • appendChild() adds the new element to the DOM.
