## Value, Types, and Operators | |
Having some experience with ruby data types, JS data types seem to behave in a similar way. | |
NaN was a new thing here. | |
I feel pretty confident about the things i learned about JS from this chapter but ternary operatores are still on fuzzy side. | |
## Program Structure | |
It is interesting that we have to mention it is a variable every time we declare a variable unlike in ruby | |
Statements are executed from top to bottom as it's a scripting language. | |
Feel pretty good about do,while and fo loop. | |
Switch was lil bit harder to follow through, may be because of the syntax. Need to practice more on that. | |
## Functions | |
Being able to assign a function to a variable, calling that variable as function was something new. | |
Feel pretty good about calling declaring functions in 3 diff ways. Lessons about scope and call stack was | |
really helpful to sharpen my knowledge about programming in general. | |
And we can call a function with extra arguements even if they are not defined with those extra arguements. | |
Concept of closure is something i need to dig more into. Would choose loop over recursion at least when im dealing with JS. | |
## Data Structure | |
Both String and Array are behaving in similar way as in Ruby. Just the syntaxs are different when calling methods. | |
Object, i would campare that with Ruby Hash, are similar but different. The keys have to be symbol and keys acts like | |
methods for a the object related to it. | |
When assigning a new name value pair to an object, the syntax of JS did not make sense to me. | |
for example: | |
let objectA = {a: 1, b: 2}; | |
Object.assign(objectA, {b: 3, c: 4}); | |
we are starting from type of objectA not objectA itself. Also, two objects having values with same properties are not | |
evaluated as equal was really confusing. Do they have id or something that differentiate from one another? | |
the statement: When you compare objects with JavaScript’s == operator, it compares by identity, I am confused about. | |
## The Secret Life of an Objects. | |
Got to know more about encapsulation and polymorphism. Concept of prototypes are still fuzzy. | |
When defining a class, contructor looked like initialize in Ruby.There is no particular way of defining private properties in JS | |
(-) at the start of property names, indicates that those properties are private. | |
