Describe the purpose of a variable in JavaScript.
Compare basic JavaScript data types.
Write JavaScript code to declare and assign a value to a variable.
In this beginning-level project you will work with JavaScript variables and assignment operators by writing and testing JavaScript code using the Notepad++ text editor and the Chrome browser. Since variables are used as containers to hold values in JavaScript, knowing how to use them is an essential skill for a JavaScript programmer. You will learn how to create a variable, name it correctly, and use it to store a data value using an assignment operator. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
