Introduction To JavaScript

JavaScript Language has following characteristics:
  • Lightweight: Small memory footprint, easy to implement
  • Interpreted: No compilation, Instructions executed only
  • Object Oriented: Modeled around objects
  • First-class functions: Functions used as variables and parameters
  • Scripting language: Writing instructions for runtime environment
JavaScript is used for 
  • Client side web development
    • Frameworks: JQuery, AngularJs, React, EServer-side
  • Server-side web development
    • Frameworks: NodeJS, Express
Variable declaration and definition
  • Declaration: Give a name to a variable
  • Definition: Assign a value to the variable
Equal operations 
  • =: assigning value to a variable (a=30)
  • ==: check the values (doesn't consider types)
  • ===: check the values and types
Functions: 
  • no overloading
  • functions are objects
  • functional expression : assign function to variable
  • anonymous function: function with no name
Array methods
  • push(value): value is appended to the last position of an array
  • pop(): last element is removed
  • shift():first element is removed
  • unshift(value): values is appended as first element

Other Points 

  • Native JavaScript: Doesn't use any framework 
  • Doesn't associate type with variables
  • If you declare a variable and not define yet: it has undefined value
  • type of null in Javascript: object
  • For all non-zero values variable return as true.
  • JavaScript is not a class-based language: can add properties to object dynamically
  • Arrays behave like an object
  • Arguments: keyword that gets function arguments as list

Core Java Concepts

Java Applications  There are mainly four types of Java applications. Standalone Web  Enterprise  Mobile Java Features  There are several features in Java, but in here listed some important ones Platform independent Object oriented Multi threaded Distributed Robust (automatic garbage collection, exception handling, type checking) Java Security  Java has 3 built-in security components; Classloader: Separate class files packages from imported packages. BytecodeVerifier: check the illegal access to objects Security Manager: check what resources can access the object. C++ vs Java Methods Static - No need to create an object to invoke the static method. Constructor - use to initialize objects Constructor name must same as the class name Constructor has no return type There are two types of constructors Default - no parameter Parameterized If there is no constructor defined in the class, compiler aut...
