javascript with variable code example

Example 1: how to declare a variable js

//let and var are both editable variables and can be changed later on in your program;
let dog = 'Woof';
//dog is equal to the string 'Woof';
dog = false;
//You can changed the value of dog now because it was defined with let and not const;

let cow = 'Moo';
//cow is equal to the string 'Moo';
cow = true;
//You can change the value of cow later on because it is not defined with const;

//const is used when declaring a variable that can't be changed later on -- const stands for constant;
const pig = 'oink';
//This assigns the string 'oink' to pig which can not be changed because it is defined with const;
pig = 'snort';
//Above throws an error
//Good Job you now know how to declare variables using JavaScript!!!

Example 2: how to make a variable equal a specific element in javascript

//How to make a variable equal a specific element in javascript.

/*====DESCRIPTION STARTS HERE=======
Assuming you've already created an array and a variable, you simply set the
variable equal to the array, specifying the specific location of the value
it holds. Note though that when specifying the location, subtract one
number from the actual number we percieve. The reason for this is that computers
begin counting at 0.
  =====DESCRIPTION ENDS HERE========*/

//=====EXAMPLE=========
var listOfFirstNames = ["Will", "Kotori", "Grace", "James"]
var FirstName = listOfFirstNames[2] /*firstName now has the value of "Grace"
									since grace is the 2nd (or 3rd) element
									of the array*/
