What is JavaScript?


Definition:

JavaScript is a programming language. Just like people use different languages to talk, JavaScript is used to tell computers and websites what to do. For example, if you create a form on a website and add a button, you can make a message appear whenever someone clicks it.

JavaScript can also make things move, slide, or change on a website.

It helps make websites fun and interactive.

It also controls parts of the webpage so it works and looks alive.

Example:

<button onclick="showMessage()">Click Me</button>

<p id="output"></p>

<script>
  function showMessage() {
    document.getElementById("output").innerText =
      "www.edutation.com";
  }
</script>
    

Output:
