Types
The built-in types are string, number, boolean, null, undefined, object.
Use typeof some_var to get the type.
The following are considered false: false, 0, "", null, undefined, NaN.
Arrays
Arrays are special objects.
var my_array = []; // make a new array
Strings
" Hello ".trim() // "Hello"
Objects
var new_object = {}; // make a new empty object
new_object.name = "Bill"; // create a property
new_object["name"] = "Bill"; // same thing
for (var key in my_object){ // iterate over an object
// do something with key
// value is my_object[key]
}
Constructors
function Fruit (theColor, theSweetness, theFruitName, theNativeToLand) {
this.color = theColor;
this.sweetness = theSweetness;
this.fruitName = theFruitName;
this.nativeToLand = theNativeToLand;
this.showName = function () {
console.log("This is a " + this.fruitName);
}
this.nativeTo = function () {
this.nativeToLand.forEach(function (eachCountry) {
console.log("Grown in:" + eachCountry);
});
}
}
Prototypes
Every object has a prototype property.
Counter.prototype = {
};
