5. String and Math Object in JavaScript

 String in JavaScript 

- A string in JavaScript is a sequence of Unicode characters. It is simply an array of characters. Each character takes 16 bits.

- Each character in the string has its position or index. 


Ex :

let name1 = "John"; // Double quotes

let name2 = 'Bob'; // Single quotes.


String Object in JavaScript

- String is an object. Any variable whose value is a string is actually a string object. That is, JavaScript stores a string value as a string object in a variable.

- The string object in JavaScript is a wrapper around the string primitive value. It is the most commonly used object in JavaScript.


String Creation 

Ways to create String in JavaScript

There are two ways to create string in JavaScript. They are as follows:

1. By string literal 

Ex : let stringname="string value";


2. By string object (using new keyword and String() constructor)

Ex : let str = new String("Hello JavaScript");


- We can also using character array

 


 Note: 

- Although, creating a string in JavaScript using new keyword is not recommended because it consumes more memory and slow down the execution speed. Strings objects may produce unexpected result. 

-  The String object in JavaScript has only three properties: length, prototype, and constructor. We can use length property with both string literals and string objects.But, to use the properties prototype and constructor, we need string objects. That is, we cannot use the prototype and constructor properties with string literals.


Math Object  in JavaScript
- Math in JavaScript is a top-level, pre-defined object that has properties and methods for mathematical constants and functions.

Syntax to Access Elements of Math Object
- To access the properties and functions of Math object, we do not need to create an instance.
- We can access properties and functions of JavaScript Math, as usual, by placing a dot after the object name (Math) and writing the property or function name.

Syntax : 
Math.property_name;
Math.function_name();

For example:
   var pi = Math.PI;
   var p = Math.pow();


Static Properties of JavaScript Math object
All the properties refer to constants that do not change. Therefore, these properties are read-only properties.
(a) Math.E: It is Euler’s constant and the base of natural logarithms.
(b) Math.LN2: It is the natural logarithm of 2, approximate value o.693. 
(c) Math.LN10: It is a natural logarithm of 10, approximate value 2.302.
(d) Math.LOG2E: Another important constant in math is base-2 logarithm of Euler’s constant. Its approximate value is 1.442. 
(e) Math..LOG10E: It is a base-10 logarithm of Euler’s constant. Its approximate value is 0.434.
(f) Math.PI: It returns the value of pi, that is the ratio of circumference of a circle to its diameter. Its approximate value is 3.14. 
(g) Math.SQRT2: It is a square root of 2 that is a well-known constant in mathematics. Its approximate value is 1.414. 
(h) Math.SQRT1_2: It is the square root of 0.5, whose approximate value is 0.707.

Static Methods of Math object

We can divide the methods of Math object in JavaScript into four categories. Each one is related to a distinct branch of mathematics. They are:

1. Trigonometry methods
    - a. Math.sin(x): Returns the sine of a number.
    - b. Math.cos(x): Returns the cosine of a number.
    - c. Math.tan(x): Returns the tangent of a number.


2. Integer methods
    - a. Math.floor(x): Returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number.
    - b. Math.ceil(x) : Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a given number.
    - c. Math.round(x): Returns the value of a number rounded to the nearest integer.

3. Logarithmic, Exponential, Power, Root methods
    - a. Math.log(x): Returns the natural logarithm (base e) of a number.
    - b. Math.exp(x): Returns the value of E raised to the power of a given number.
    - c. Math.pow(x, y): Returns the value of x to the power of y.
    - d. Math.sqrt(x): Returns the square root of a number.


4. Miscellaneous methods
    - a. Math.abs(x): Returns the absolute value of a number.
    - b. Math.random(): Returns a random floating-point number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive).

  Introduction of JS JavaScript: JavaScript (originally known as LiveScript) is cross-platform, object-based scripting language that was developed by Netscape programmer Brendan Eich for both client side and server side. It is a lightweight programming language that is interpreted by web browser when the web page is loaded. JavaScript is the most popular language and almost easy to learn as HTML. Features of JavaScript Language (JS) 1. JavaScript (JS) is a high-level, interpreted, cross-platform, and open-source programming language. 2. JavaScript (js) is a lightweight object-based scripting programming language that is mainly used in web programming. 3. It supports both client-side and server-side scripting. 4. It is responsible for making web pages interactive and responsive. Like HTML defines the content and structure of web page, CSS styles the layout, and JavaScript make that web page interactive. 5. JS is not a compiled language, but it is an interpreted language. The JavaScript

2. Datatypes & Variables in Javascript

Image
Datatypes in Javascript 1. Comments There are two types of comments in JavaScript. They are as follows: 1. Single line comment (use // for single line  ) 2. Multiline comment (use /* */  for single line  ) 2. Data Types in JavaScript  - A data type in JavaScript specifies the specific type of value that a variable can store. In other words, a data type is simply a “kind” of value (i.e. data) stored in a variable. - Internally, a variable represents a memory location where data stores. Data is information that we store in computer programs. What is Dynamic Data Types in JavaScript ? JavaScript is a dynamic and loosely typed, or duck typed language.The value we assign to the variable determines its data type. JavaScript automatically handles different types of values and automatically converts values from one type to another. var FirstName = “Shubh” // Holding string. var AccountNumber = 123499 // Holding number. Types of Data types in JavaScript A list of all data types are as follows:

6. Object and Array in Javascript

  Object in Javascript - An object in JavaScript is an entity or any real-world thing that has a state and behavior. - Here, the state represents properties (characteristics) of an object and behavior represents actions or functionality of an object. - For example, a person is an object. He has properties like black hair, black eyes, fair skin, weight, etc., and actions like eat, sleep, walk, play, study, etc. Object Creation in JavaScript - JavaScript is template based, not class based. Here, we don’t create class to get the object. But, we direct create objects. 1. By object literal 2. By creating an instance of Object directly (using new keyword) 3. Using an object constructor (using new keyword) 1. By object literal - The simplest and the most popular way to create an object in JavaScript is to use object literal. - we create objects with curly braces and  separate properties and values  by using colon (:). Ex :  var objectName = {     propertyName1:value1,     propertyName2:value2
