Hi. I've tried to some up javascript cheatsheet in one article. Hope you like it.


 > ###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


```js
<script type="module"> //JS code goes here </script> 
```


**External JS File**

Adding external JavaScript to HTML


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

**Functions**

JavaScript Function syntax

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

**DOM Element**

Changing content of a DOM Element

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

***Output***

This will print the value of a in JavaScript console

```js
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.

```js
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.

```js
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

```js
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

```js
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

```js
for (statement 1; statement 2; statement 3) {
// code block to be executed
}
```

***While Loop***

Runs the code till the specified condition is true

```js
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

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

```

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

Fired when an element is right-clicked

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

Fired when an element is double-clicked

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

Fired when an element is entered by the mouse arrow

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

***mouseleave***

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

```js
try {
