You would use \u201c=\u201d when you\u2019re writing a script. This would help the computer understand what your trying to calculate. Without it, the computer would be clueless. Initializing is a process that assigns a value to a variable, but if it a value isn\u2019t assigned to anything, it would be called a declaration. One lesson I learned during javascript was its case sensitivity. Also, letters and signs are important and should be careful. Arithmetic operators are operators signs such as add, subtract, multiply, division, modulus, and many more. One thing that stood out during class was, \u201cif the string looks like a number, javascript will convert the string to a number to do arithmetic.\u201d Concatenation connecting strings together, such as using \u201c()\u201d and \u201c+\u201d Lastly, the line of code used to prompt a user for a response is \u201cprompt()\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/javascript.info\/variables#:~:text=A%20variable&amp;text=We%20can%20use%20variables%20to,JavaScript%2C%20use%20the%20let%20keyword.&amp;text=To%20be%20concise%2C%20we%20can,(message)%3B%20%2F%2F%20Hello\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/javascript.info\/variables#:~:text=A%20variable&amp;text=We%20can%20use%20variables%20to,JavaScript%2C%20use%20the%20let%20keyword.&amp;text=To%20be%20concise%2C%20we%20can,(message)%3B%20%2F%2F%20Hello<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scaler.com\/topics\/string-concatenation-javascript\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.scaler.com\/topics\/string-concatenation-javascript\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For example, Javascript variables are data storage: an \u201cAn online shop- the information includes good being and a shopping card.\u201d or \u201ca chat application- the information might include users, messages.\u201d I assume to initialize a variable.
