JavaScript Variables
JavaScript Variables
JavaScript variables are containers for storing data values. And you can define variables with var keyword Let's take an example and x, y, and z, are variables:
From the above example, you can expect:
- x stores the value 3
- y stores the value 6
- z stores the value 9
Declaring (Creating) JavaScript Variables
Creating a variable in JavaScript is called "declaring" a variable.
You declare a JavaScript variable with the var keyword:
var carName;
After the declaration, the variable has no value (technically it has the value of undefined).
To assign a value to the variable, use the equal sign:
You can also assign a value to the variable when you declare it:
In the example below, we create a variable called carName and assign the value "Volvo" to it.
Then we "output" the value inside an HTML paragraph with id="demo":
Example
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var carName = "Volvo";
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = carName;
</script>
