JavaScript Introduction

JavaScript

JavaScript is the programming language of the web. It makes websites interactive — buttons that click, forms that validate, content that updates without reloading.

What Can JavaScript Do?

  • Change HTML content and styles
  • React to user events (clicks, typing)
  • Validate form data
  • Create animations and games
  • Build full applications (React, Node.js)
Example — JAVASCRIPT
// Show a message
alert("Hello, World!");

// Change page content
document.getElementById("demo")
    .innerHTML = "JavaScript is fun!";

// Log to console (for debugging)
console.log("Page loaded!");

// Simple calculation
let price = 100;
let tax = price * 0.18;
console.log("Tax: ₹" + tax);
Result
▶ Alert: "Hello, World!"
▶ Element updated: "JavaScript is fun!"
▶ Console: "Page loaded!"
▶ Console: "Tax: ₹18"
