Tutorial 12 - JavaScript for Beginners

Why this tutorial exists

This is not a JavaScript course.

The purpose is to make JavaScript familiar enough that students do not become uncomfortable when they encounter it later.

You already know Python. Many programming ideas remain the same across languages.

1. Variables

Python:

name = "Ashish"

JavaScript:

const name = "Ashish";

Both create a named value.

You may also see:

let count = 0;

For this course, understand the concept before worrying about every distinction between let, const, and .
