Data Types JavaScript

This document discusses JavaScript data types and arithmetic operators. It covers strings, booleans, and numbers. For strings, it explains how escape characters are used to include special characters in strings. It defines booleans as having true or false values. For numbers, it outlines several arithmetic operators for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus. It also explains increment and decrement operators and order of operations using parentheses. The final section recommends preparing for a JavaScript quiz.

Data Types

Data Types
Strings
As strings must be written within
quotes, quotes inside
thestringmust be handled.
Thebackslash (\) escape
character turns special
characters intostringcharacters.

Data Types
The escape character (\) can
also be used to insert other
special characters into a string.
These special characters can
be added to a text string using
the backslash sign.

If you begin astringwith a


single quote, then you
should also end it with a
single quote. The same rule
applies to double quotes.
Otherwise, JavaScript will

Data Types
Booleans
In JavaScript Boolean, you can have
one of two values,
eithertrueorfalse.
These are useful when you need a data
type that can only have one of two
values, such as Yes/No, On/Off,
True/False.

Everything with a "real"

Math Operators

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators
perform arithmetic
functions on numbers
(literals or variables).

Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic Operators

In the example below, the


addition operator is used to
determine the sum of two
numbers.

Arithmetic Operators

You can add as many numbers


or variables together as you
want or need to.

Multiplication

The multiplication operator (*)


multiplies one number by the
other.

Division

The / operator is used to


perform division operations:

The Modulus

Modulus (%) operator returns


the division remainder (what is
left over).

Increment & Decrement


Increment ++
The increment operator increments
the numeric value of its operand by
one. If placed before the operand,
it returns the incremented value. If
placed after the operand, it returns
the original value and then
increments the operand.

Increment & Decrement


Decrement - The decrement operator
decrements the numeric value of its
operand by one. If placed before the
operand, it returns the decremented
value. If placed after the operand, it
returns the original value and then
decrements the operand.

Increment & Decrement

Increment & Decrement


As in school mathematics,
you can change the order
of the arithmetic operations
by using parentheses.
Example:varx = (100 +
50) * 3;
