JavaScript Made Easy: Understanding Basics, Control Flow, and Loops

Introduction: JavaScript is a high-level interpreted, object-oriented programming language created to make web pages alive. It was created by Brenda Eich of Netscape in 1995. JavaScript is an Interpreted language, whereas C++, Rust and Java are Compiled languages. Compiled vs Interpreted: Compiled Interpreted Firstly, we need to compile, and then we can run. Usually, in interpreted it runs line by line. Here, it doesn’t compile if there is an error in the code It will run partially if the error occurs later Write your First JavaScript Program: So, we will write our first JavaScript program before we learn the fundamentals. For this open your browser and open google.com now right click on the tab and you will see an option called Inspect which I have shown below click on that: Now you will see a pop-up open on the right side and in that, you will see a tab called console click on that your browser console will now be opened. In that write the JavaScript Program as I shown in below and press enter and your code will be logged..! Congrats you just wrote your JavaScript code..!

JavaScript is an Interpreted language, whereas C++, Rust and Java are Compiled languages.

Compiled vs Interpreted:

Compiled	Interpreted
Firstly, we need to compile, and then we can run.	Usually, in interpreted it runs line by line.
Here, it doesn’t compile if there is an error in the code	It will run partially if the error occurs later

Write your First JavaScript Program:

So, we will write our first JavaScript program before we learn the fundamentals. For this open your browser and open google.com now right click on the tab and you will see an option called Inspect which I have shown below click on that:

Now you will see a pop-up open on the right side and in that, you will see a tab called console click on that your browser console will now be opened. In that write the JavaScript Program as I shown in below and press enter and your code will be logged..!

Congrats you just wrote your JavaScript code..!
