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>
