Welcome to
JavaScript

JavaScript (JS) is a programming language that makes your website interactive and dynamic.

/* Example: Show alert */
<script>
  alert("Hello, JavaScript!");
</script>
    

Variables store data values. Use let, const, or var.

/* Example */
let name = "Zohil";
const age = 20;
var country = "Afghanistan";

console.log(name, age, country);
    

JS has different data types like Number, String, Boolean, Object, and Array.

/* Example */
let num = 10;          // Number
let name = "Zohil";    // String
let isStudent = true;  // Boolean
let person = {name:"Z", age:20}; // Object
let fruits = ["Apple","Banana"]; // Array
    

Operators perform actions on values: arithmetic, comparison, logical, and assignment.

/* Example */
let a = 10;
let b = 5;

// Arithmetic
console.log(a + b); // 15
console.log(a - b); // 5

// Comparison
console.log(a > b); // true

// Logical
console.log(a > 5 && b < 10); // true

// Assignment
a += 5; // a = 15
    

Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform tasks.

/* Example */
function greet(name){
  console.log("Hello " + name);
}

greet("Zohil"); // Output: Hello Zohil
    

Use if, else if, and else to make decisions in your code.

/* Example */
let age = 18;

if(age >= 18){
  console.log("You are an adult");
} else {
  console.log("You are a minor");
}
    

Loops repeat code multiple times. Common types are for, while, and for…of.

/* Example */
// For loop
for(let i=1; i<=5; i++){
  console.log(i);
}

// While loop
let j = 1;
while(j <= 5){
  console.log(j);
  j++;
}
    

Arrays store multiple values in a single variable.

/* Example */
let fruits = ["Apple","Banana","Orange"];

// Access
console.log(fruits[0]); // Apple

// Add
fruits.push("Mango");

// Remove
fruits.pop();

// Loop through array
for(let fruit of fruits){
  console.log(fruit);
}
    

Objects store related data as key-value pairs.

/* Example */
let person = {
  name: "Zohil",
  age: 20,
  country: "Afghanistan"
};

// Access
console.log(person.name); // Zohil

// Update
person.age = 21;
console.log(person.age); // 21
    

Events allow your website to respond to user actions like clicks and keypresses.

/* Example */
<button id="btn">Click Me</button>

<script>
  let button = document.getElementById("btn");
  button.addEventListener("click", function(){
    alert("Button clicked!");
  });
</script>
    

The DOM (Document Object Model) allows JavaScript to access and change HTML elements dynamically.

/* Example */
<h1 id="title">Hello</h1>
<button id="changeBtn">Change Text</button>

<script>
let title = document.getElementById("title");
let btn = document.getElementById("changeBtn");

btn.addEventListener("click", function(){
  title.textContent = "Hello, JavaScript!";
});
</script>
    

Strings are sequences of characters. JS provides many methods to manipulate strings.

/* Example */
let name = "Zohil Rahimzai";

console.log(name.length);        // Length of string
console.log(name.toUpperCase()); // Convert to uppercase
console.log(name.toLowerCase()); // Convert to lowercase
console.log(name.includes("Rah")); // true
console.log(name.slice(0,5));     // "Zohil"
    

JS has numbers and provides methods for math operations.

/* Example */
let a = 10.567;

console.log(Math.round(a));  // 11
console.log(Math.floor(a));  // 10
console.log(Math.ceil(a));   // 11
console.log(a.toFixed(2));   // "10.57"
console.log(Math.random());  // Random number 0-1
    

JS can convert data types automatically or manually.

/* Example */
let num = "123";
console.log(Number(num)); // 123
console.log(String(123)); // "123"
console.log(Boolean(0));  // false
console.log(Boolean(1));  // true
    

Template literals allow you to include variables inside strings easily using backticks (`).

/* Example */
let name = "Zohil";
let age = 20;

let message = `Hello ${name}, you are ${age} years old.`;
console.log(message); // Hello Zohil, you are 20 years old.
    

JS arrays have many methods for manipulation like map, filter, and forEach.

/* Example */
let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// forEach
numbers.forEach(n => console.log(n));

// map (creates new array)
let squares = numbers.map(n => n * n);
console.log(squares); // [1,4,9,16,25]

// filter
let even = numbers.filter(n => n % 2 === 0);
console.log(even); // [2,4]
    

Objects can have nested properties, methods, and dynamic keys.

/* Example */
let person = {
  name: "Zohil",
  age: 20,
  greet: function(){
    console.log(`Hello, I am ${this.name}`);
  }
};

person.greet(); // Hello, I am Zohil

// Dynamic key
let key = "country";
person[key] = "Afghanistan";
console.log(person.country); // Afghanistan
    

Destructuring allows extracting values from arrays or objects easily.

/* Example */
// Array destructuring
let colors = ["Red","Green","Blue"];
let [first, second] = colors;
console.log(first, second); // Red Green

// Object destructuring
let person = {name:"Zohil", age:20};
let {name, age} = person;
console.log(name, age); // Zohil 20
    

The spread operator ... expands arrays/objects; rest operator collects values into an array.

/* Example */
// Spread
let arr1 = [1,2];
let arr2 = [...arr1,3,4];
console.log(arr2); // [1,2,3,4]

// Rest
function sum(...nums){
  return nums.reduce((a,b) => a+b, 0);
}
console.log(sum(1,2,3,4)); // 10
    

Arrow functions are shorter syntax, and callbacks let you pass functions as arguments.

/* Example */
// Arrow function
const greet = name => console.log(`Hello ${name}`);
greet("Zohil");

// Callback function
function calculate(a,b, callback){
  return callback(a,b);
}

function add(x,y){ return x+y; }
console.log(calculate(5,3, add)); // 8
    

ES6 modules allow you to split your code into separate files using export and import.

/* Example: module.js */
export const greet = (name) => {
  console.log(`Hello ${name}`);
};

/* Example: main.js */
import { greet } from './module.js';
greet("Zohil"); // Hello Zohil
    

Store data in the browser using localStorage (persistent) or sessionStorage (temporary).

/* Example */
// Save data
localStorage.setItem("name", "Zohil");
sessionStorage.setItem("age", "20");

// Get data
console.log(localStorage.getItem("name")); // Zohil
console.log(sessionStorage.getItem("age")); // 20

// Remove data
localStorage.removeItem("name");
sessionStorage.clear();
    

JSON is a format to store and transfer data. JS can convert objects to JSON and back.

/* Example */
let person = {name:"Zohil", age:20};

// Convert to JSON
let jsonData = JSON.stringify(person);
console.log(jsonData); // '{"name":"Zohil","age":20}'

// Convert JSON to object
let obj = JSON.parse(jsonData);
console.log(obj.name); // Zohil
    

Use try/catch to handle errors and prevent your program from crashing.

/* Example */
try {
  let result = riskyFunction(); // may throw error
  console.log(result);
} catch(error) {
  console.log("Error occurred: " + error);
} finally {
  console.log("Execution finished");
}
    

JS provides built-in errors like ReferenceError, TypeError, and RangeError. You can also create custom errors.

/* Example */
try {
  let x = y; // y is undefined
} catch(error) {
  console.log(error.name); // ReferenceError
  console.log(error.message); // y is not defined
}

// Custom error
function checkAge(age){
  if(age < 18){
    throw new Error("Too young!");
  }
  return "Allowed";
}

console.log(checkAge(15)); // Error: Too young!
    

Promises handle asynchronous operations. They can be pending, fulfilled, or rejected.

/* Example */
let promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  let success = true;
  if(success){
    resolve("Task completed!");
  } else {
    reject("Task failed!");
  }
});

promise
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.log(error));
    

Async/Await is a cleaner way to handle asynchronous code instead of chaining then calls.

/* Example */
function delay(ms){
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

async function greet(){
  console.log("Start");
  await delay(2000);
  console.log("Hello after 2 seconds");
}

greet();
    

The Fetch API is used to get data from servers asynchronously.

/* Example */
fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users")
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.log("Error:", error));
    

setTimeout runs code after a delay. setInterval runs code repeatedly at intervals.

/* Example */
// setTimeout
setTimeout(() => {
  console.log("Executed after 2 seconds");
}, 2000);

// setInterval
let count = 0;
let interval = setInterval(() => {
  console.log("Interval count: " + count);
  count++;
  if(count > 3) clearInterval(interval);
}, 1000);
    

The Event Loop manages asynchronous tasks in JavaScript, making sure non-blocking code executes properly.

/* Example */
console.log("Start");

setTimeout(() => {
  console.log("Timeout finished");
}, 0);

console.log("End");

// Output order: Start → End → Timeout finished
    

Classes are blueprints for creating objects with properties and methods.

/* Example */
class Person {
  constructor(name, age){
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
  }
  greet(){
    console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name}`);
  }
}

let zohil = new Person("Zohil", 20);
zohil.greet(); // Hello, my name is Zohil
    

The constructor method initializes new objects created from a class.

/* Example */
class Student {
  constructor(name, grade){
    this.name = name;
    this.grade = grade;
  }
}

let student1 = new Student("Ali", "A");
console.log(student1.name, student1.grade); // Ali A
    

Inheritance allows a class to use properties and methods of another class using extends.

/* Example */
class Person {
  constructor(name){
    this.name = name;
  }
  greet(){
    console.log(`Hello, I am ${this.name}`);
  }
}

class Student extends Person {
  constructor(name, grade){
    super(name);
    this.grade = grade;
  }
  showGrade(){
    console.log(`Grade: ${this.grade}`);
  }
}

let ali = new Student("Ali", "A");
ali.greet();      // Hello, I am Ali
ali.showGrade();  // Grade: A
    

Advanced module usage includes default exports and importing multiple functions or objects.

/* Example: module.js */
export default function greet(name){
  console.log(`Hello ${name}`);
}

export const sayBye = name => console.log(`Bye ${name}`);

/* Example: main.js */
import greet, { sayBye } from './module.js';

greet("Zohil"); // Hello Zohil
sayBye("Zohil"); // Bye Zohil
    

Advanced event handling includes delegation, capturing, and removing listeners.

/* Example */
<ul id="list">
  <li>Item 1</li>
  <li>Item 2</li>
</ul>

<script>
let ul = document.getElementById("list");

// Event delegation
ul.addEventListener("click", function(e){
  if(e.target.tagName === "LI"){
    alert(`You clicked ${e.target.textContent}`);
  }
});
</script>
    

Regular expressions are patterns to match or search text.

/* Example */
let text = "My email is zohil@example.com";
let regex = /\w+@\w+\.\w+/;

console.log(text.match(regex)); // ["zohil@example.com"]
console.log(regex.test(text));  // true
    

Advanced storage: storing objects and JSON in browser storage.

/* Example */
let user = {name:"Zohil", age:20};

// Save object
localStorage.setItem("user", JSON.stringify(user));

// Get object
let storedUser = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("user"));
console.log(storedUser.name); // Zohil
    

Advanced usage of setTimeout and setInterval including stopping timers.

/* Example */
let count = 0;
let interval = setInterval(() => {
  console.log("Count: " + count);
  count++;
  if(count > 5) clearInterval(interval); // stop interval
}, 1000);

setTimeout(() => {
  console.log("Timeout finished after 3 seconds");
}, 3000);
    

Use console.log, debugger, and browser DevTools to debug your code.

/* Example */
let numbers = [1,2,3,4,5];

for(let i=0; i

Combine everything you learned: DOM, events, arrays, objects, storage, and async code.

/* Example: To-Do List App */
<input id="taskInput">
<button id="addBtn">Add</button>
<ul id="taskList"></ul>

<script>
let taskInput = document.getElementById("taskInput");
let addBtn = document.getElementById("addBtn");
let taskList = document.getElementById("taskList");

addBtn.addEventListener("click", () => {
  let task = taskInput.value;
  if(task){
    let li = document.createElement("li");
    li.textContent = task;
    taskList.appendChild(li);
    taskInput.value = "";
  }
});
</script>
