JavaScript
// Using a variable to store and display name
let name = "John Doe";
console.log("My name is:", name);Output
My name is: John Doe
This program demonstrates how to use variables in JavaScript. Variables are containers that store data values.
Variable Declaration
JavaScript uses let, const, or var to declare variables:
let: Block-scoped, can be reassignedconst: Block-scoped, cannot be reassigned (constant)var: Function-scoped, older syntax (avoid in modern code)
String Variables
Strings are sequences of characters enclosed in quotes:
- Single quotes:
'Hello' - Double quotes:
"Hello" - Template literals:
Hello(ES6)
Console.log with Multiple Arguments
console.log() can take multiple arguments separated by commas. Each argument is converted to a string and displayed with a space between them.
Example:
javascriptlet firstName = "John"; let lastName = "Doe"; console.log("Name:", firstName, lastName); // Output: Name: John Doe
Variable Naming Rules:
- Must start with letter,
_, or$ - Can contain letters, digits,
_,$ - Case-sensitive
- Cannot use reserved keywords
- Use camelCase for multi-word names
