JavaScript Basics

Variables

You can declare variables with the assignment operator (=). This is useful for containing data from an input and applying them with the Document Object Model. Constants work the same way. Declare a constant with the keyword "const" and use the assignment operator to set a value. Constants cannot be changed afterward, which should be self-explanatory.

Functions

You can declare a function to execute when a certain event happens, i.e. an "if" statement is true. You can run a console.log("Hello World")  to run when  this event unfolds.

User Inputs

You can add code to execute on an event, i.e. a click. These are typically used for buttons or for special effects. You can add the "onclick" attribute to an element to signify a function to be executed when it has been clicked.
