## JavaScript Basics
Set of JavaScript basic syntax to add, execute and write basic programming paradigms in Javascript 

## On Page Script
Adding internal JavaScript to HTML

```
<script type="text/javascript"> //JS code goes here </script>
```

## External JS File
Adding external JavaScript to HTML

```
<script src="filename.js"></script>
```

## Functions
JavaScript Function syntax

```
function nameOfFunction() {
    // function body 
}
```

## DOM Element
Changing content of a DOM Element

```
document.getElementById("elementID").innerHTML = "Hello World!";
```

## Output
This will print the value of a in JavaScript console

```
console.log(a);
```

## Conditional Statements
Conditional statements are used to perform operations based on some conditions.

## If Statement
The block of code to be executed, when the condition specified is true.

```
if (condition) {
    // block of code to be executed if the condition is true
}
```

## If-else Statement
If the condition for the if block is false, then the else block will be executed.

```
if (condition) {
    // block of code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
    // block of code to be executed if the condition is false
}
```

## Else-if Statement
A basic if-else ladder

```
if (condition1) {
    // block of code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if (condition2) {
    // block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is true
} else {
    // block of code to be executed if the condition1 is false and condition2 is false
}
```

## Switch Statement
Switch case statement in JavaScript

```
switch (expression) {
    case x:
        // code block
        break;
    case y:
        // code block
        break;
    default:
        // code block
}
```

## Iterative Statements (Loops)
Iterative statement facilitates programmer to execute any block of code lines repeatedly and can be controlled as per conditions added by the programmer.

## For Loop
For loop syntax in javascript

```
for (initialization; condition; incrementation;) {
    // code block to be executed
}
```
Example:

```
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    text += "Iteration number: " + i + "<br>";
}
```

## While Loop
Runs the code till the specified condition is true

```
while (condition) {
    // code block to be executed
}
```

## Do While Loop
A do while loop is executed at least once despite the condition being true or false

```
do {
    // run this code in block
    i++;
} while (condition);
```

## Mouse Events
Any change in the state of an object is referred to as an Event. With the help of JS, you can handle events, i.e., how any specific HTML tag will work when the user does something.

## click
Fired when an element is clicked

```
element.addEventListener('click', () => {
    // Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
```

## oncontextmenu
Fired when an element is right-clicked

```
element.addEventListener('contextmenu', () => {
    // Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
```

## dblclick
Fired when an element is double-clicked

```
element.addEventListener('dblclick', () => {
    // Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
```

## mouseenter
Fired when an element is entered by the mouse arrow

```
element.addEventListener('mouseenter', () => {
    // Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
```

## mouseleave
Fired when an element is exited by the mouse arrow

```
element.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => {
    // Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
```

## mousemove
Fired when the mouse is moved inside the element

```
element.addEventListener('mousemove', () => {
    // Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
```

## Keyboard Events
keydown
Fired when the user is pressing a key on the keyboard

```
element.addEventListener('keydown', () => {
    // Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
```

});
```

## keyup

Fired when the user releases a key on the keyboard

```
element.addEventListener('keyup', () => {
    // Code to be executed when the event is fired
});
```

## Errors
Errors are thrown by the compiler or interpreter whenever they find any fault in the code, and it can be of any type like syntax error, run-time error, logical error, etc. JS provides some functions to handle the errors.

## try and catch
Try the code block and execute catch when err is thrown

```
try {
    Block of code to try
    }
catch (err) {
    Block of code to handle errors
}
```

## Window Methods
Methods that are available from the window object

setTimeout(() => {
    // Code to be executed
}, 1000);
```

## close

```
clearTimeout(var)
```

## stop
Stops the further resource loading
