Let's declare variables with different data types. To declare a variable we need let or const keyword, the name of the variable, an equal sign (assignment operator) and a value.
```js
# Syntax
let nameOfVariable = value

# 📔 Day 2
# Data types
In the previous section, we mentioned a little bit about data types. Data have data types. Data types describe the characteristics of data. Data types can be divided into
1. Primitive data types
2. Non-primitive data types(Object References)
Primitive data types in JavaScript includes:
1. Numbers
2. Strings
3. Booleans
4. Null
5. Undefined
Non-primitive data types in JavaScript includes:
1. Objects
2. Functions
3. Arrays
Now, let us see what exactly mean primitive and non-primitive data types.
*Primitive* data types are immutable(non-modifiable) data types. Once a primitive data type is created we can not modify it.
**Example:**
```js
let word = 'JavaScript'
```
If we try to modify the string stored in variable *word* JavaScript will raise an error. Any data type under single quote, double quote or back tick is a string data type.
```js
word[0] = 'Y'
```
This expression does not change the string stored in the variable *word*. So, we can say strings are not modifiable or immutable.
Primitive data types are compared by its values. Let us compare different data values. See the example below:
```js
let numOne = 3
let numTwo = 3
console.log(numOne == numTwo) // true
let js = 'JavaScript'
let py = 'Python'
console.log(js == py) //false
let lightOn = true
let lightOff = false
console.log(lightOn == lightOff) // false
```
*Non-primitive* data types are modifiable or mutable. We can modify the value of non-primitive data types after it gets created.
Let us see by creating an array. Array is a list of data values in a square bracket. Array can contain the same or different data types. Arrays values are referenced by its index which starts at zero.
```js
let nums = [1, 2, 3]
nums[0] = 10
console.log(nums) // [10, 2, 3]
```
As you can see, an array which a non-primitive data type is a mutable. Non-primitive data types can not be compared by value. Even if two non-primitive data types have the same properties and values, they are not strictly equal.
```js
let nums = [1, 2, 3]
let numbers = [1, 2, 3]
console.log(nums == numbers) // false
let userOne = {
name:'Asabeneh',
role:'teaching',
country:'Finland'
}
let userTwo = {
name:'Asabeneh',
role:'teaching',
country:'Finland'
}
console.log(userOne == userTwo)
```
Rule of thumb, we do not compare non-primitive data types. Do not compare array, function or object.
Non-primitive values are referred to as reference types because they are being compared by reference instead of value. Two objects are only strictly equal if they refer to the same underlying object.
```js
let nums = [1, 2, 3]
let numbers = nums
console.log(nums == numbers) // true
let userOne = {
name:'Asabeneh',
role:'teaching',
country:'Finland'
}
let userTwo = userOne
console.log(userOne == userTwo) // true
```
If you have hard time to understand the difference between primitive data types and non-primitive data types, you are not the only one. Calm down and just go to the next section and try to come back after some time. Now let us start the data types by number type.
# Numbers
Numbers are integers and decimal values which can do all the arithmetic operations
Lets' see some examples of Numbers
## Declaring number data types
```js
let age = 35
const gravity = 9.81 //we use const for non-changing values, gravitational constant in m/s2
let mass = 72 // mass in Kilogram
const PI = 3.14 // pi a geometrical constant
//More Examples
const boilingPoint = 100 // temperature in oC, boiling point of water which is a constant
const bodyTemp = 37 // oC average human body temperature, which is a constant
In JavaScript the Math Object provides a lots of methods to work with numbers.
```js
const PI = Math.PI
console.log(PI) // 3.141592653589793
console.log(Math.round(PI)) // 3; to round values to the nearest number
console.log(Math.round(9.81)) // 10
console.log(Math.floor(PI)) // 3; rounding down
console.log(Math.ceil(PI)) // 4; rounding up
console.log(Math.min(-5, 3, 20, 4,5, 10)) // -5, returns the minimum value
console.log(Math.max(-5, 3, 20, 4,5, 10)) // 20, returns the maximum value
const randNum = Math.random() // creates random number between 0 to 0.999999
console.log(randNum)
// Let create random number between 0 to 10
const num = Math.floor(Math.random () * 11) // creates random number between 0 and 10
console.log(num)
//Absolute value
console.log(Math.abs(-10)) //10
//Square root
console.log(Math.sqrt(100)) // 10
console.log(Math.sqrt(2)) //1.4142135623730951
// Power
console.log(Math.pow(3, 2)) // 9
console.log(Math.E) // 2.718
// Logarithm
//Returns the natural logarithm of base E of x, Math.log(x)
console.log(Math.log(2)) // 0.6931471805599453
console.log(Math.log(10)) // 2.302585092994046
// Trigonometry
Math.sin(0)
Math.sin(60)
Math.cos(0)
Math.cos(60)
```
# Strings
Strings are text which are under **_single_** or **_double_** quote. To declare a string we need a variable name, assignment operator, a value under a single quote, double quote or back tick.
Lets' see some examples of string:
```js
let space = ' ' // an empty space string
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh'
let country = 'Finland'
let city = 'Helsinki'
let language = 'JavaScript'
let job = 'teacher'
```
## String Concatenation
Connect two or more strings together is called concatenation.
```js
// Declaring different variables of different data types
let space = ' '
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh'
let country = 'Finland'
let city = 'Helsinki'
let language = 'JavaScript'
let job = 'teacher'
```
```js
let fullName = firstName + space + lastName; // concatenation, merging two string together.
console.log(fullName);
```
```sh
// out
Asabeneh Yetayeh
```
We can concatenate string in different ways.
### Concatenating using addition operator
Concatenating using addition operator is an old way. This way of concatenating is tedious and error prone. It is good to know, how to concatenate this way but I strongly suggest to use the second way.
```js
// Declaring different variables of different data types
let space = ' '
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh'
let country = 'Finland'
let city = 'Helsinki'
let language = 'JavaScript'
let job = 'teacher'
let age = 250
let fullName = firstName + space + lastName
let personInfoOne = fullName + '. I am ' + age + '. I live in ' + country; // ES5
console.log(personInfoOne)
```
```sh
Asabeneh Yetayeh. I am 250. I live in Finland
```
### Template Literals(Template Strings)
To create a template string we use back two back ticks. We can inject data as expression inside a template string. To inject data we enclose the expression with curly bracket({}) followed by $ sign. See the syntax blow.
```js
//Syntax
`String literal text`
`String literal text ${expression}`
```
**Example: 1**
```js
console.log(`The sum of 2 and 3 is 5`)
let a = 2
let b = 3
console.log(`The sum of ${a} and ${b} is ${a + b}`)
```
**Example:2**
```js
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
let lastName = 'Yetayeh'
let country = 'Finland'
let city = 'Helsinki'
let language = 'JavaScript'
let job = 'teacher'
let age = 250
let fullName = firstName + ' ' + lastName
let personInfoTwo = `I am ${fullName}. I am ${age}. I live in ${country}.` //ES6 - String interpolation method
let personInfoThree = `I am ${fullName}. I live in ${city}, ${country}. I am a ${job}. I teach ${language}.`
console.log(personInfoTwo)
console.log(personInfoThree)
```
```sh
I am Asabeneh Yetayeh. I am 250. I live in Finland.
I am Asabeneh Yetayeh. I live in Helsinki, Finland. I am a teacher. I teach JavaScript.
```
Using string template or string interpolation method we can add expression which could be a value or some operations(comparison, arithmetic operations, ternary operation)
```js
let a = 2
let b = 3
console.log(`${a} is greater than ${b}: ${a > b}`)
```
```sh
2 is greater than 3: false
```
## String Methods
Everything in JavaScript is an object. String is a primitive data type that means we can not modify once it is created. String object has many string methods. There many string methods which can help us to work with strings.
1. *length*: The string *length* method returns the number of characters in a string included empty space.
**Example:**
```js
let js = 'JavaScript'
console.log(js.length) // 10
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
console.log(firstName.length) // 8
```
2. *Accessing characters in a string*: We can access each characters in a string using its index. In programming counting starts from 0. The first index of the string is zero and the last index is one minus the length of the string
Let us access the first character in 'JavaScript' string.
```js
let string = 'JavaScript'
let firstLetter = string[0]
console.log(firstLetter) // J
let secondLetter = string[1] // a
let thirdLetter = string[2]
let lastLetter = string[9]
console.log(lastLetter) // t
let lastIndex = string.length - 1
console.log(lastIndex) // 9
console.log(string[lastIndex]) // t
```
3. *toUpperCase()*: this method changes the string to uppercase letters.
```js
let string = 'JavaScript'
console.log(string.toUpperCase()) // JAVASCRIPT
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
console.log(firstName.toUpperCase()) // ASABENEH
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.toUpperCase()) // FINLAND
```
4. *toLowerCase()*: this method changes the string to lowercase letters.
```js
let string = 'JavasCript'
console.log(string.toLowerCase()) // javascript
let firstName = 'Asabeneh'
console.log(firstName.toLowerCase()) // asabeneh
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.toLowerCase()) // finland
```
5. *substr()*: It takes two arguments,the starting index and number of characters to slice.
```js
let string = 'JavaScript'
console.log(string.substr(4,6) // Script
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.substr(3, 4)) // land
```
6. *substring()*: It takes two arguments,the starting index and the stopping index but it doesn't include the stopping index.
```js
let string = 'JavaScript'
console.log(string.substring(0,4) // Java
console.log(string.substring(4,10) // Script
console.log(string.substring(4) // Script
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.substring(0, 3)) // Fin
console.log(country.substring(3, 7)) // land
console.log(country.substring(3)) // land
```
7. *split(): The split method splits a string at a specified place.
```js
let string = '30 Days Of JavaScipt'
console.log(string.split()) // ["30 Days Of JavaScript"]
8. *trim()*: Removes trailing space in the beginning or the end of a string.
```js
let string = ' 30 Days Of JavaScript '
console.log(string) //
console.log(string.trim(' ')) //
let firstName = ' Asabeneh '
console.log(firstName)
console.log(firstName.trim()) //
```
```sh
30 Days Of JavasCript
30 Days Of JavasCript
Asabeneh
Asabeneh
```
9. *includes()*: It takes a substring argument and it check if substring argument exists in the string. *includes()* returns a boolean. It checks if a substring exist in a string and it returns true if it exists and false if it doesn't exist.
```js
let string = '30 Days Of JavaScript'
console.log(string.includes('Days')) // true
console.log(string.includes('days')) // false
console.log(string.includes('Script')) // true
console.log(string.includes('script')) // false
console.log(string.includes('java')) // false
console.log(string.includes('Java')) // true
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.includes('fin')) // false
console.log(country.includes('Fin')) // true
console.log(country.includes('land')) // true
console.log(country.includes('Land')) // false
```
10. *replace()*: takes to parameter the old substring and new substring.
```js
string.replace(oldsubstring, newsubstring)
```
```js
let string = '30 Days Of JavaScript'
console.log(string.replace('JavaScript', 'Python')) // 30 Days Of Python
11. *charAt()*: Takes index and it returns the value at that index
```js
string.charAt(index)
```
```js
let string = '30 Days Of JavaScript'
console.log(string.charAt(0)) // 3
let lastIndex = string.length - 1
console.log(string.charAt(lastIndex)) // t
```
12. *charCodeAt()*: Takes index and it returns char code(ASCII number) of the value at that index
```js
string.charCodeAt(index)
```
```js
let string = '30 Days Of JavaScript'
console.log(string.charCodeAt(3)) // D ASCII number is 51
let lastIndex = string.length - 1
console.log(string.charCodeAt(lastIndex)) // t ASCII is 116
```
13. *indexOf()*: Takes takes a substring and if the substring exists in a string it returns the first position of the substring if does not exist it returns -1
```js
string.indexOf(substring)
```
```js
let string = '30 Days Of JavaScript'
console.log(string.indexOf('D')) // 3
console.log(string.indexOf('Days')) // 3
console.log(string.indexOf('days')) // -1
console.log(string.indexOf('a')) // 4
console.log(string.indexOf('JavaScript')) // 11
console.log(string.indexOf('Script')) //15
console.log(string.indexOf('script')) // -1
```
14. *lastIndexOf()*: Takes takes a substring and if the substring exists in a string it returns the last position of the substring if it does not exist it returns -1
```js
string.charCodeAt(index)
```
```js
let string = 'I love JavaScript. If you do not love JavaScript what else can you love.'
16. *startsWith*: it takes a substring as an argument and it checks if the string starts with that specified substring. It returns a boolean(true or false).
```js
string.startsWith(substring)
```
```js
let string = 'Love is the best to in this world'
console.log(string.startsWith('Love')) // true
console.log(string.startsWith('love')) // false
console.log(string.startsWith('world')) // false
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.startsWith('Fin')) // true
console.log(country.startsWith('fin')) // false
console.log(country.startsWith('land')) // false
```
17. *endsWith*: it takes a substring as an argument and it checks if the string starts with that specified substring. It returns a boolean(true or false).
```js
string.endsWith(substring)
```
```js
let string = 'Love is the best to in this world'
console.log(string.endsWith('world')) // true
console.log(string.endsWith('love')) // false
console.log(string.endsWith('in this world')) // true
let country = 'Finland'
console.log(country.endsWith('land')) // true
console.log(country.endsWith('fin')) // false
console.log(country.endsWith('Fin')) // false
```
18. *search*: it takes a substring as an argument and it returns the index of the first match.
```js
string.serch(substring)
```
```js
let string = 'I love JavaScript. If you do not love JavaScript what else can you love.'
console.log(string.search('love')) // 2
```
1. *match*: it takes a substring or regular expression pattern as an argument and it returns an array if there is match if not it returns null. Let us see how a regular expresson pattern looks like. It starts with / sign and ends with / sign.
```js
let string = 'love'
let patternOne = /love/ // with out any flag
let patternTwo = /love/gi // g-means to search in the whole text, i - case insensitive
```
```js
string.match(substring)
```
```js
let string = 'I love JavaScript. If you do not love JavaScript what else can you love.'
console.log(string.match('love')) //
/*
