What is JavaScript?

[nathankian]

Hello Friends,

Please tell me what is JavaScript.

[RH-Calvin]

JavaScript is an object-oriented computer programming language commonly used to create interactive effects within web browsers.

[daviddakarai]

JavaScript is the most popular programming language in the world, used to design interactive sites. It shares many of the features and structures of the full Java language, it was developed independently. Javascript can interact with HTML source code.

JavaScript is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most commonly used as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed. It is also used in server-side network programming with runtime environments such as Node.js, game development and the creation of desktop and mobile applications.

Java script is the most popular programming language and it is used as a part of web browser. Its implementation allows client-side scripts top interact with the user and control the browser. It is also communicate asynchronously, and modify the content of the document that is displayed.

[avvntech]

Java script is the best programming language and it is used as a part of web browser. This language is more helpful for decorating your website, make as a flashed site etc.

JavaScript is a scripting language designed primarily for adding interactivity to Web pages and creating Web applications. The language was first implemented by Netscape Communications Corp. in Netscape Navigator 2 beta (1995). JavaScript is different from the Java language (developed in the 1990s at Sun Microsystems).

Hello Friends,

I'm not sure if this helps but it's from the CS4 scripting examples.

[MitraVarghese]

Javascript is an object oriented scripting language which is commonly used to create the effective and interactive within web browsers.

[zinist]

Hi,
JavaScript is most commonly used as a client side scripting language. This means that JavaScript code is written into an HTML page. When a user requests an HTML page with JavaScript in it, the script is sent to the browser and it's up to the browser to do something with it.

[joshaidan]

JavaScript is a scripting language, that is, a lightweight programming language that is interpreted by the browser engine when the web page is loaded.

[thuybk]

JavaScript is a popular programming language that's built into all the major web browsers and used to make web pages interactive.

[JohnBWynkoop]

JavaScript is an object-oriented language with prototypal inheritance.

[Bluesky94]

JavaScript (/ˈdʒævəˌskrɪpt/) is a high-level, dynamic, untyped, and interpreted programming language.It has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification.Alongside HTML and CSS, it is one of the three core technologies of World Wide Web content production; the majority of websites employ it and it is supported by all modern Web browsers without plug-ins. JavaScript is prototype-based with first-class functions, making it a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented,imperative, and functional programming styles. It has an API for working with text, arrays, dates and regular expressions, but does not include any I/O, such as networking, storage, or graphics facilities, relying for these upon the host environment in which it is embedded.
Although there are strong outward similarities between JavaScript and Java, including language name, syntax, and respective standard libraries, the two are distinct languages and differ greatly in their design. JavaScript was influenced by programming languages such as Self and Scheme.
JavaScript is also used in environments that are not Web-based, such as PDF documents, site-specific browsers, and desktop widgets. Newer and faster JavaScript virtual machines (VMs) and platforms built upon them have also increased the popularity of JavaScript for server-side Web applications. On the client side, JavaScript has been traditionally implemented as an interpreted language, but more recent browsers perform just-in-time compilation. It is also used in game development, the creation of desktop and mobile applications, and server-side network programming with run-time environments such as Node.js.

JavaScript is an interpreted programming or script language from Netscape

[luffy268]

JavaScript is an interpreted programming or script language from Netscape. It is somewhat similar in capability to Microsoft'sVisual Basic, Sun's Tcl, the UNIX-derived Perl, and IBM's REXX. In general, script languages are easier and faster to code in than the more structured and compiled languages such as C and C++. Script languages generally take longer to process than compiled languages, but are very useful for shorter programs.

[intqc[dot]in]

JavaScript is client-side scripting language used to enhance the capability/functionality of webpages. It can be written in HTML tags or in external file linking it to HTML pages. JavaScript commonly used to do validation of user input, Manipulating Images, Generating dynamic data, Handling browser events, etc. Nowadays it is also used in server-side scripting and it is becoming popular day by day.

[aegisinfoways]

JavaScript is the most popular development language in the world, used to design entertaining sites. It shares many of the functions and components of the full Java language, it was designed individually. Javascript can connect to HTML resource code.

Java script is a programming language used in web designing to bring validation on a html form.

[maherafrasiab]

javascript is a programing language used with HTML. It is very useful and being used in large number of websites for various purposes

[saurabh mathur]

Javascript is the cross platform and object oriented scripting language. It is very small and light weighted language which extends the core language by supplying objects to control the browser. This can also change the HTML content.It is interpreted programming language with object oriented capabilities.

[24x7servermanag]

Java script allows you to dynamically updating content, control multimedia, animate images. Those are used to store the values in the variable. They do have the code which run in response to some event. Javascript used to get execute after HTML and CSS.

Here are the types of JavaScript - Object, Number, String, Boolean, Null, and Undefined.

Objects i include arrays, functions, and ordinary objects.

Strings include the empty string, "".

Booleans have only two values: true and false.

The only value whose type is Null is null, and the only value whose type is Undefined is undefined.

Thanks For Your Information.

JavaScript is a programming language used to make web pages interactive. It is what gives a page life—the interactive elements and animation that engage a user.

[padmadevi]

JavaScript (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions and is best know as the scripting language for web pages, but it's used in many non-browser environments as well.

JavaScript often abbreviated as JS, is a high-level, dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based, multi-paradigm, and interpreted programming language. Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of World Wide Web content production.

JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of the World Wide Web. JavaScript enables interactive web pages and thus is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it, and all major web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it.

As a multi-paradigm language, JavaScript supports event-driven, functional, and imperative (including object-oriented and prototype-based) programming styles. It has an API for working with text, arrays, dates, regular expressions, and basic manipulation of the DOM, but the language itself does not include any I/O, such as networking, storage, or graphics facilities, relying for these upon the host environment in which it is embedded.

hello,
Javascript is Programming language of the web.
Javascript is object based but not object oriented programming language
It can manipulate the DOM(change Html contents)
All modern html pages are using javascript

[yuva12]

JavaScript is a text-based programming language used both on the client-side and server-side that allows you to make web pages interactive. ... Incorporating JavaScript improves the user experience of the web page by converting it from a static page into an interactive one. To recap, JavaScript adds behavior to web pages.
