Defining Variables

Defining variables is an integral part of Javascript. Without variables, functions could not be run, arrays could not be made, and so on. To define a variable, all you have to type is:

<Script Language="Javascript">
name;
</script>

There, you have just created a variable that is called name. But, it doesn't do anything. The magical equals sign makes variables viable:

<Script Language="JavaScript">
name = x + 1;
</script>

Now, the variable called name, is x + 1. Say x = 5, then name would equal 6, right? Of course it would.

<Script Language="JavaScript">
x = 5
name = x + 1;
</script>

Printing Values

Great, you know how to define things, but now, you have to print the things that you have defined. To do this, we use the

document.write();

command. Here is what the example above would look like:

<Script Language = "JavaScript">
x = 5
name = x + 1
document.write(name);
</script>

This would produce:
6
