    Introduction to JavaScript 2023

    Introduction to Java Scripting Language (JavaScript)

    JavaScript is programming code inserted into an HTML page. It is used to make web pages more
    dynamic as well as interactive.

    JavaScript is different from HTML because JavaScript is used to create more dynamic web pages
    while HTML is a markup language that is used to create static content on the web page.

    JavaScript code is inserted in a HTML file by using the <script> tag. No special program is
    required in order to write code in JavaScript as it is an interpreted language. You can use any text
    editor such as Notepad in order to write JavaScript code

    <script> : opening script tag: defines the JavaScript code

    java script code…

    </script>: closing script tag

    Differences between Java programming language and Java Scripting language

    1) Java is an object oriented programming language whereas JavaScript is a scripting


    language.
    2) JavaScript is used to make the web pages more interactive. However, Java can be used
    not only to make interactive web pages but can also be used to create server side
    applications and standalone programming.
    3) Java uses the concept of classes and objects that makes reuse of the code easier but there
    is no such thing in JavaScript.
    4) Java exhibits the properties like inheritance, data encapsulation and polymorphism
    whereas JavaScript does not.
    5) Java can stand on its own while JavaScript must be placed inside an HTML document to
    function
