Core JavaScript
(Properties and Methods)

JavaScript Arrays
• JavaScript arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable.
• An array is a special variable, which can hold more than one value at a time.
• Example
▫ If you have a list of items (a list of car names, for example), storing the cars in single variables
could look like this:
var car1 = "Saab";
var car2 = "Volvo";
var car3 = "BMW";
• However, what if you want to loop through the cars and find a specific one? And
what if you had not 3 cars, but 300?
• The solution is an array!
• An array can hold many values under a single name, and you can access the values by referring to
an index number.
var cars = [“Maruti", "Volvo", "BMW"];

JavaScript Arrays: Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var cars = ["Saab", "Volvo", "BMW"];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = cars;
</script>
</body>
</html>

Access the Elements of an Array
• You refer to an array element by referring to the
index number.
• This statement accesses the value of the first
element in cars:
var name = cars[0];
• This statement modifies the first element in
cars:
Cars[0] = "Opel";

Access the Elements of an Array
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var cars = ["Saab", "Volvo", "BMW"];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = cars[0];
</script>
</body>
</html>

Arrays are Objects
• Arrays are a special type of objects.
• Arrays use numbers to access its "elements".
• In this example, person[0] returns John:
var person = ["John", "Doe", 46];
• Objects use names to access its "members".
• In this example, person.firstName returns
John
var person = {firstName:"John", lastName:"Doe", age:46};

Array Properties and Methods
• The length property of an array returns the
length of an array (the number of array
elements).
• Examples
var x = cars.length; // The length property returns
the number of elements
var y = cars.sort(); // The sort() method sorts
arrays

Length of An Array
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>JavaScript Arrays</h1>
<p>The length property returns the length of an array.</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = fruits.length;
</script>
</body>
</html>

Looping Array Elements
• The best way to loop through an array, is using a
"for" loop:
• Example
var fruits, text, fLen, i;
fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
fLen = fruits.length;
text = "<ul>";
for (i = 0; i < fLen; i++) {
text += "<li>" + fruits[i] + "</li>";
}

Looping Array Elements
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>JavaScript Arrays</h1>
<p>The best way to loop through an array is using a standard for loop:</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var fruits, text, fLen, i;
fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
fLen = fruits.length;
text = "<ul>";
for (i = 0; i < fLen; i++) {
text += fruits[i] + "<br>";
}
text += "</ul>";
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = text;
</script>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Booleans
• A JavaScript Boolean represents one of two
values: true or false.
• Boolean Values
▫ Very often, in programming, you will need a data
type that can only have one of two values, like
 YES / NO
 ON / OFF
 TRUE / FALSE
• For this, JavaScript has a Boolean data type. It
can only take the values true or false.

JavaScript Booleans
• The Boolean() Function
▫ You can use the Boolean() function to find out if
an expression (or a variable) is true:
• Example
Boolean(10 > 9)

JavaScript Booleans: CODE Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Display the value of Boolean(10 > 9):</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = Boolean(10 > 9);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Date Formats
• A JavaScript date can be written as a string:
Sun Feb 05 2017 20:32:29 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
• or as a number:
1486306949768
• Dates written as numbers, specifies the number of milliseconds
since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00.
• Displaying Dates
▫ Example
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = Date();
</script>

JavaScript Date Methods
• Date methods let
you get and set date
values (years,
months, days, hours,
minutes, seconds,
milliseconds)
• Date Get Methods
• Get methods are
used for getting a
part of a date. Here
are the most
common
(alphabetically):
Method Description
getDate()
Get the day as a number (1-
31)
getDay()
Get the weekday as a
number (0-6)
getFullYear()
Get the four digit year
(yyyy)
getHours() Get the hour (0-23)
getMilliseconds()
Get the milliseconds (0-
999)
getMinutes() Get the minutes (0-59)
getMonth() Get the month (0-11)
getSeconds() Get the seconds (0-59)
getTime()
Get the time (milliseconds
since January 1, 1970)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>The getFullYear() method returns the full year of a date:</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var d = new Date();
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d.getFullYear();
</script>
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>The internal clock in JavaScript starts at midnight January 1, 1970.</p>
<p>The getTime() function returns the number of milliseconds since then:</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var d = new Date();
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d.getTime();
</script>
</body>
</html>

• Date methods let
you get and set date
values (years,
months, days, hours,
minutes, seconds,
milliseconds)
• Date Set Methods
• Set methods are
used for setting a
part of a date. Here
are the most
common
(alphabetically):
Date Set Methods
Method Description
setDate()
Set the day as a number
(1-31)
setFullYear()
Set the year (optionally
month and day)
setHours() Set the hour (0-23)
setMilliseconds()
Set the milliseconds (0-
999)
setMinutes() Set the minutes (0-59)
setMonth() Set the month (0-11)
setSeconds() Set the seconds (0-59)
setTime()
Set the time
(milliseconds since
January 1, 1970)

The setDate() Method
setDate() sets the day of the month (1-31):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>The setDate() method sets the date of a month.</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var d = new Date();
d.setDate(15);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d;
</script>
</body>
</html>

The setDate() Method
The setDate() method can also be used to add days to a date:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>The setDate() method can be used to add days to a date.</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate() + 50);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = d;
</script>
</body>
</html>

Converting Variables to Numbers
• There are 3 JavaScript methods that can be used to
convert variables to numbers:
▫ The Number() method
▫ The parseInt() method
▫ The parseFloat() method
• These methods are not number methods,
but global JavaScript methods.
Method Description
Number() Returns a number, converted from its argument.
parseFloat() Parses its argument and returns a floating point number
parseInt() Parses its argument and returns an integer

The parseInt() Method
parseInt() parses a string and returns a whole number. Spaces are allowed. Only the first number is
returned:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>The global JavaScript function parseInt() converts strings to numbers:</p>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
parseInt("10") + "<br>" +
parseInt("10.33") + "<br>" +
parseInt("10 6") + "<br>" +
parseInt("10 years") + "<br>" +
parseInt("years 10");
</script>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Regular Expressions
• A regular expression is a sequence of characters that
forms a search pattern.
• When you search for data in a text, you can use this
search pattern to describe what you are searching
for.
• A regular expression can be a single character, or a
more complicated pattern.
• Regular expressions can be used to perform all types
of text search and text replace operations.
• Syntax
/pattern/modifiers;

Using String Methods
With a Regular Expression
• In JavaScript, regular expressions are often used
with the two string methods: search() and
replace().
• The search() method uses an expression to
search for a match, and returns the position of
the match.
• The replace() method returns a modified
string where the pattern is replaced.

Use String replace() With a Regular
Expression
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Replace "Microsoft" with "W3Schools" in the paragraph below:</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<p id="demo">Please visit Microsoft!</p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var str = document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML;
var txt = str.replace("Microsoft","W3Schools");
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = txt;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
