Data types

String

let x = 'I am a string'
let x = "I am also a string"

Number

let x = 1
let x = 2.123

Array

let x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
let x = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
let x = [
  [1, 2, 3, 4],
  [5, 6, 7, 8]
]

Object

let x = {
  name: "value",
  name1: "value1",
  pancake: [
    "wonderful",
    "tasty"
  ],
  myKey: {
    name: "name"
  }
}

Control blocks

If Statements

if(x == "hello") {
  alert("the string x is equal to hello")
} else {
  alert("the string doesn't equal hello")
}

For Loops

let x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
for(let y = 0; y < 4; y++) {
  alert(x[y]) // 2
}

Functions

Functions are reusable pieces of code that can be called with input and return values

This function takes one parameter and doesn't return any value

function myFunction(name) {
  alert("hello " + name )
}

This function takes no parameters and returns a string value

function myFunction() {
  return "my string return value";
}

Assign a function to a variable, then call it

let x = function() {
  alert("I've been called!!!");
}
x();
