// or /* */
DATA TYPES/VARIABLES
string = any sort of texts
number = number
underfined = underfined
null = nothing
boolean = true or false
symbol = unique value
object = store value peers
- 3 WAYS TO DECLARE A VARIABLE
-var = whole program
-let = within the scope where u declare
-const = should never change/ cant be change

STORING VALUES WITH THE ASSIGNMENT OPERATOR

ex.
-myName = "mico";
INITIALIZING VARIABLES
-var myName = "mico";
Variables names and function names are casesensitive, capitalization matters
ex.
var ProperCamelcase; //they are different
var properCamelcase;

BASIC MATH
ex.
sum
var sum = 10 + 10;
console.log(sum)
difference
var sum = 10 - 10;
console.log(difference)
product
var product = 10 * 10;
console.log(product)
quotient
var sum = 10 / 10;
console.log(quotient)
INCREMENT/DECREMENT
Ex.
INCREMENT
var myVar = 87;
myVar = myVar + 1; or
var myVar = 87;
myVar ++;

DECREMENT
var myVar = 87;
myVar = myVar - 1; or
var myVar = 87;
myVar --;

DECIMAL NUMBER
var ourDecimal = 5.7;

FINDING REMAINDER
var remainder;
remainder = 11 % 3;

COMPOUND ASSIGNMENT WITH AUGMENTED ADDITION

Ex.
var a = 3;
var b = 17;
var c = 12;

a += 12; // shortcut to a = a + 12;

same with other operands.
DECLARE STRING VARIABLE
Ex.
var firstname = “Allan“;
var lastname = “Turing”;
ESCAPING LITERAL QUOTES IN STRINGS
Ex.
var myStr = “I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes””
escape character is \”
var myStr = "I am a \"double quoted\"string inside \"double quotes\""
- SINGLE QUOTES ‘
var myStr = ‘I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes”’;
- BACKTICKS `
var myStr = `‘I am a “double quoted” string inside “double quotes”’`;
 ESCAPE SEQUENCE

‘ single quote
“ double quote
\ backslash
n newline
r carriage return
t tab
b backspace
f form feed

ex. var myStr = "Firstline\n\t\\Secondline\nThirdline";

CONCATENATING STRINGS WITH PLUS OPERATOR

Ex.
var ourStr = “I come first.” + “I come second”;

- WITH PLUS EQUALS OPERATOR

var ourStr = “I come first.”;

ourStr += “I come second”;

CONSTRUCTING STRING WITH VARIABLES

Ex.
var ourName = “freecodecamp”;
var ourStr = “Heloo, our name is” + ourName + “, how are you?”;

APPENDING VARIABLES TO STRINGS

Ex.
var anAdjective = “awesome!”;
var ourStr = “freeCodeCamp is”;
ourStr += andAdjective;
FIND LEGTH OF STRING
Ex.
var firstNameLegth = 0;
var firstname = “Ada”;

firstNameLegth = firstName.length;

BRACKET NOTATION TO FIND FIRST CHARACTER IN STRING

Ex.
var firstLetterOfFirstName = “”;
var firstName = “Ada”;

firstLetterOfFirstName = firstName[0];
