Getting Started with JavaScript: Variables and Data Types

Introduction to JavaScript Variables and Data Types

JavaScript is a dynamically-typed language, which means you don't need to declare the data type of a variable before using it. In this tutorial, we will cover the basics of JavaScript variables and data types.

Variables in JavaScript

In JavaScript, you can declare a variable using the let, const, or var keywords. Here is an example of how to declare a variable:

let name = 'John Doe';
console.log(name);

Data Types in JavaScript

JavaScript has several built-in data types, including Number, String, Boolean, Array, Object, Null, and Undefined. Here is an example of how to use each data type:

let num = 10; // Number
let str = 'Hello World'; // String
let bool = true; // Boolean
let arr = [1, 2, 3]; // Array
let obj = { name: 'John Doe', age: 30 }; // Object
let nullValue = null; // Null
let undefinedValue = undefined; // Undefined
console.log(typeof num);
console.log(typeof str);
console.log(typeof bool);
console.log(typeof arr);
console.log(typeof obj);
console.log(typeof nullValue);
console.log(typeof undefinedValue);
