Data types in JavaScript Is JavaScript case sensitive Yes, JavaScript is case sensitive programming language. Variable names, keywords, methods, object properties and event handlers all are case sensitive. Example 1 : alert() function name should be all small letters [script] alert("JavaScripts Basics Tutorial"); [/script] Example 2 : Alert() is not same as alert(). Throws Alert is not defined error. To see the error press F12 key. [script] Alert("JavaScripts Basics Tutorial"); [/script] Comments in JavaScript : There are 2 types of comments in JavaScript. 1) Single Line Comment Example : [script] // This is a sinle line comment [/script] 2) Multi Line Comment Example: [script] /* This is a multi line comment */ [/script] Data types in JavaScript The following are the different data types in JavaScript Numbers - 5, 5.234 Boolean - true / false String - "MyString", 'MyString' To create a variable in JavaScript use var keyword. Variable names are case sensitive. In c# to create an integer variable we use int keyword int X = 10; to create a string variable we use string keyword string str = "Hello" With JavaScript we always use var keyword to create any type of variable. Based on the value assigned the type of the variable is inferred. var a = 10; var b = "MyString"; In C#, you cannot assign a string value to an integer variable int X = 10; X = "Hello"; // Compiler error JavaScript is a dynamically typed language. This means JavaScript data types are converted automatically as needed during script execution. Notice that, in myVariable we are first storing a number and then a string later. [script] var myVariable = 100; alert(myVariable); myVariable = "Assigning a string value"; alert(myVariable); [/script] When a + operator is used with 2 numbers, JavaScripts adds those numbers. [script] var a = 10; var b = 20; var c = a + b; alert(c); [/script] Output : 30 When a + operator is used with 2 strings, JavaScript concatenates those 2 strings [script] var a = "Hello " var b = "JavaScript"; var c = a + b; alert(c); [/script] Output : Hello JavaScript When a + operator is used with a string and a number, JavaScript converts the numeric value to a string and performs concatenation. [script] var a = "Number is : " var b = 10; var c = a + b; alert(c); [/script] Output : Number is 10 [script] var a = "50" var b = 10; var c = a + b; alert(c); [/script] Output : 5010 But if you use a minus operator, numeric value is not converted to string [script] var a = "50" var b = 10; var c = a - b; alert(c); [/script] Output : 40
