What Makes HTML Special? 7a

Montajim Khan - February 28, 2023 2 Comments

HTML - GeeksforGeeks

The coding language that adds structure to a website is HTML(Hypertext Markup Language). What it means is that you can publish documents on the internet with headings, text, tables, text, lists, and photos. Without HTML, there would be no website, or rather, there would be no purpose for the website without HTML because it tells the webpage what elements should be displayed where. It can also retrieve online information by using links. Also, it can design forms for transactions such as ordering products like amazon, making reservations at a restaurant, and more. Lastly, it includes the documents’ spreadsheets, video clips, and sound clips for easy access. I was wondering when making a website, what comes first, HTML, CSS, or Javascript? Also, if you had to pick a coding language, which would it be and why?

JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that allows you to implement complex features on web pages – every time a web page does more than just sit there and display static information for you to look at – displaying timely content updates, interactive maps, etc. – you can bet that JavaScript is probably involved. A function is a sequence of statements that performs a specific operation. Functions are used to break down a program into smaller, reusable pieces. In javascript, a function is defined using the keyword function and is immediately followed by the function name and a pair of parenthesis. Inside the parenthesis, you can define any number of arguments that are passed to the function when it is called. If we want to use the function anywhere within that program, we simply need to mention the function name followed by a semicolon and the syntax is: function_name();. The JavaScript code within the function gets executed when that function is (called). The basic idea of a function is to reduce the number of repeated code. In JS, the return keyword returns a value from a task The task will return the value immediately when the keyword is encountered. This means that the task will not execute any more statements beyond the return keyword, and any local variables created in the task will be discarded.

The Important of Digital Identity 2b

My digital identity involves self-promotion, such as YouTube, and social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I use my digital identity to get as many views as possible to gain revenue, such as YouTube. The more views and click you have, the more you will earn. Also, I use it to build relationships with other people. Interacting with people in the digital is important since everything is digitalized these days. To manage my identity would be security. Security is really important if you put all your information into a site. If your data gets breached, then no one will use your platform.
Having a good digital identity is important because everything you post online stays on the internet forever. Even if you click delete, it would somehow be permanent. So always be careful of what you do on the internet. I believe the MIS community platform is for people interested in MIS and connecting with other like-minded individuals in the same space to share ideas and thoughts involving MIS. Creating an e-Portfolio helps show others your strengths and weaknesses and determine your qualifications for the specific job you applied for. I think having your resume out there, such as on LinkedIn, is important. If your information is on there, the chances are high of getting hired. It’s important to have an e-portfolio in case anyone requires your expertise.

Variables are used to store values (name = “Ivan”) or expressions (sum = x + y). Declare Variables in JavaScript Before using a variable, you first need to declare it. You have to use the keyword Let(var) to declare a variable like this: let name; You can assign a value to the variable either while declaring the variable or after declaring the variable. let name = “Ivan”;

The name must start with a letter (a to z or A to Z), underscore( _ ), or dollar( $ ) sign. After the first letter, we can use digits (0 to 9), for example, value1. JavaScript variables are case-sensitive, for example, x and X are different variables. Variable names should not begin with numbers. Initialization: giving an initial value to the variable. Declaration of a variable is informing the compiler with the variable name, the type of value the variable holds, and the initial value. In other words, there is only memory for a variable dispatched in the declaration. While in initialization there is a value set for that variable. Arithmetic operators are of 4 types Addition ?+?. Subtraction ?−?. Multiplication ?×?. Division ?÷?. The concatenation operator (+) concatenates two or more string values together and return another string which is the union of the two operand strings. The shorthand assignment operator += can also be used to concatenate strings

6b Loops

Sami Barhoum - February 28, 2023 3 Comments

A loop is a programming structure that repeats a sequence of instructions until a specific condition is met. Loops allow you to repeat a process over and over without having to write the same instructions each time you want your program to perform a task, especially if the instruction is long and a pain to write over and over again.

Two major types of loops are for loops and while loops. A For loop will run a preset number of times. A While loop will run a variable number of times.

For loops are used for when you know how many times you want to run an algorithm before stopping. An example of a for loop is loading laundry into the washer. Say you have 4 steps. Step 1: Unload dirty laundry. Step 2: Sort out laundry load. Step 3: Put laundry in the washing machine. Step 4: Turn on machine.

A while loop is similar, but a while loop runs a variable number of times. It would be similar steps, but IF the laundry is not cleaned you run it again.

6a If/Else

Sami Barhoum - February 28, 2023 Leave a Comment

We use the if/else statements to help us declare and specify something. We use if to execute if the condition is true. If the expression is true the body of the if statement is executed, if it’s false the statement present after the if statement is executed. In either case, any line of code present outside if the statement is evaluated by default. An example is, a=10, if a>40;

print (this is the if body)

print (this is outside the if block)

Since 10 is not greater than 40, the statement present inside the if block will not execute. Instead, the statement present outside the if block is executed.

We could specify the statements that will be executed if a condition is true. If you want to evaluate statements that determine whether a condition is actual and if a separate set of statements is false, you can use the if-else conditional statement.

5b Functions Javascript

Sami Barhoum - February 28, 2023 1 Comment

A function in JavaScript is similar to a procedure a set of statements that performs a task or calculates a value, but for a procedure to be a function, it should take some input and return an output where there is some obvious relationship between the input and the output. To use a function, you must define it somewhere in the scope so it is specified. A function can be anonymous.

A JavaScript function is defined with the keyword function, followed by a name, and with parenthesis. Functions can contain numbers, letters, digits, dollar signs. An example would look like this Function name (parameter 1, parameter 2, parameter 3) { after the curly bracket is where the code would be executed. JavaScript is a great tool to use, it takes focus and hard work to learn. Once you learn how to input functions, it all becomes easier to use, functions are key when using JavaScript.

5a Initializing Variables

Sami Barhoum - February 28, 2023 2 Comments

Variables are declared inside a code block, which is usually part of a method, property, or delegate. Declarations specify the type followed by the name, and optionally the initialization. Initialization sets the variable to a new instance. It must be to a type that is compatible with the declaration type. For example if I were to put string a = “How Are You”; the variable a is declared as a string and is initialized into “How Are You”.

Another way I can put it is var a = “How Are You”; var specifies implicit typing. You must specify a variable before adding it into code, otherwise it will not code correctly, you might get an error, and the work would be done wrong. When learning how to code it’s important to make sure each variable is specified. If one is missing than the entire code may be ruined. It is important to understand the different ways. ddddddddddddddcdccdc

4b Protecting yourself online

Sami Barhoum - February 28, 2023 1 Comment

When using the internet, it’s very important to protect yourself, your passwords, and your information. Some ways you can protect yourself from getting hacked, breached, or worse are as follows.

Keep your phone and computers up to date. Make sure you have the latest security software, so you can receive updates when something has been breached and make sure it is the best.
Make strong passwords. It’s easy for us to make passwords we are going to remember easily, but make sure the passwords are strong, include a lot of symbols, letters and distinct features in your passwords.
Make sure you watch out for phishing emails. All of us get emails saying “click here for a chance to win 1,000 dollars” while it would be nice to win that money, it’s not real. Once you open it, that is how they have you to either breach, or set you up to something disastrous.
