You ll start here learning about variables expressions data types and operators things that might sound scary if you haven t programmed before. Don t worry. With a little practice you will become quite comfortable with these terms and concepts. Working with Information With rare exception every JavaScript statement you write does something with a hunk of information data. The chunk of data may be text information displayed on the screen by a JavaScript statement or the on off setting of a radio button in a form. Each single piece of information in programming is also called a value. Outside of programming the term value usually connotes a number of some kind in the programming world however the term is not as restrictive. A string of letters is a value. A number is a value. The setting of a checkbox the fact of whether it is checked or not is a value. In JavaScript a value can be one of several types. Table 6-1 lists JavaScript s formal data types with examples of the values you will see displayed from time to time. A language that contains these few data types simplifies programming tasks especially those involving what other languages consider to be incompatible types of numbers integers versus real or floating-point values . In some definitions of syntax and parts of objects later in this book I make specific reference to the type of value accepted in placeholders. When a string is required any text inside a set of quotes suffices.
