JavaScript String Methods: includes() and slice() Explained

🚀 Day 6/100 JavaScript #100daysofcodechallenge 🚀 📌 Today’s Progress: I built a simple Fortune Generator using JavaScript. The program selects a random number and uses conditional logic to return one out of nine different fortune messages. Each time the code runs, it gives a different result. This project helped me practice how randomness works, how conditional statements control program flow, and how code can produce different outputs from the same logic. I am learning that even simple programs can create dynamic experiences. One step forward every day.

Day 2 of My JavaScript Journey 🚀 Today, I learned about values and variables in JavaScript. Values are the most fundamental unit of information in programming. Everything in JavaScript is built around values; numbers, text, true/false, etc. Variables, on the other hand, are like containers (or boxes) used to store these values so they can be reused later in a program. For example: let age = 20; Here, "20" is the value, and "age" is the variable storing it. One simple way to understand it: Values = the data Variables = where the data is stored Key takeaway: Variables make it easier to manage and reuse data efficiently in your code. I’m documenting my journey daily as I grow in JavaScript. #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #LearningInPublic #100DaysOfCode

🤔 JavaScript Quiz Time! What’s the output? 👇 !!null; !!''; !!1; A | false true false B | false false true C | false true true D | true true false 🧠 Think before you scroll… Simple-ah theriyum… but tricky 😏 Most beginners inga than confuse aaguraanga 👀 💡 Hint: null → falsy "" → falsy 1 → truthy 🔥 Pro Tip: !!value → converts anything into boolean (true / false) 👇 Comment your answer Let’s see who gets it right 😎 📌 Save for later 👥 Share with your coding friends #javascript #jsquiz #webdevelopment #codingchallenge #frontenddeveloper #mernstack #learncoding #programmingtips #developerlife #codingforbeginners #100daysofcode #techcontent #edblack

🚀 Learning JavaScript? Start with Strings. Strings are one of the most used things in JavaScript. If you can work with text, you can build forms, messages, search features, and much more. Let’s understand the basics 👇 • Create a string using quotes let name = "JavaScript"; • Find string length name.length • Join strings together "Hello " + "World" • Change text case name.toUpperCase() or name.toLowerCase() • Get part of a string name.substring(0,4) Small concept… but used everywhere in real projects. Master the basics → coding becomes easier. #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #FrontendDevelopment #LearnToCode #ProgrammingBasics #JavaScriptTips #CodingForBeginners #DeveloperCommunity #TechEducation #SoftwareDevelopment

Frontend Learning — Stale Closures in JavaScript Ever logged a value inside setTimeout or an async function… and got something unexpected? That’s because of stale closures — one of the most common (and confusing) issues in JavaScript. -> Why this happens: Functions capture variables at the time they are created They don’t automatically get the latest updated value Async operations (like setTimeout) expose this issue more clearly -> Key Takeaway: If your function runs later, it might use old (stale) data instead of the latest value. Mastering closures = fewer bugs + better async logic. #JavaScript #FrontendDevelopment #Closures #AsyncJavaScript #WebDevelopment #CodingTips #LearnInPublic #DeveloperJourney

🚀 JavaScript Functions (Must Know Concepts) Still confused between different types of functions? 👇 🧠 Function Declaration 👉 Defined using function keyword 👉 Hoisted (can be used before declaration) 🧠 Function Expression 👉 Function stored in a variable 👉 Not hoisted like declaration 🧠 Anonymous Function 👉 Function without a name 👉 Used inside callbacks 🧠 Arrow Function (ES6) 👉 Short & modern syntax 👉 No own this binding 👉 Cleaner & readable 🔥 Quick Summary: 👉 Declaration = Hoisted 👉 Expression = Stored in variable 👉 Anonymous = No name 👉 Arrow = Short & modern ⚡ Master functions = stronger JavaScript fundamentals. 💬 Which function type do you use the most? 📌 Save this for interviews #javascript #webdevelopment #frontend #coding #programming #javascriptdeveloper #codingtips #100DaysOfCode

Exploring JavaScript fundamentals! As part of my learning journey, I explored different ways to run JavaScript code in real-world environments. Understanding how and where your code executes is an important step for every developer. Here are 3 simple and commonly used ways to run JavaScript code: ✔️ Browser Console – great for quick testing and debugging ✔️ Node.js Terminal – useful for running JavaScript outside the browser ✔️ VS Code Terminal – efficient for development and project-based coding Each method has its own purpose, and learning all three helps build a strong foundation in JavaScript. #JavaScript #NodeJS #WebDevelopment #Coding #MERNStack #LearningJourney

JavaScript becomes a different language the moment you realize this: 👉 Functions are not just reusable blocks… they are values. And once you understand that, concepts like callbacks and higher-order functions stop feeling confusing and start feeling natural. In this video, I’ve broken it down step by step: How values behave in JavaScript How objects behave Why functions behave the same way (and why that matters) From there, everything builds logically: ✔ Passing functions as arguments ✔ Returning functions from functions ✔ What exactly a callback is ✔ What a higher-order function is ✔ How this leads to more flexible and reusable code No jargon. No unnecessary complexity. Just a clear, practical approach to a core JavaScript concept. 🎥 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gM8ibZ6M This is Part 1 — next, we’ll explore how this shows up in real code with: setTimeout, forEach, map, filter #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #FrontendDevelopment #Programming #Coding #LearnToCode #JavaScriptDeveloper #SoftwareDevelopment #Developers #CodingJourney #TechEducation #Hosiyar #JS

🚀 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏/𝟏𝟓 𝐌𝐲 𝐉𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 Today I started with the basics of JavaScript — Variables 💡 👉 Variables are used to store data In JavaScript, we mainly use: var (old way) let (modern & recommended) const (for fixed values) 📌 Example: let name = "Kanishka"; const age = 21; 👉 let → value can be changed 👉 const → value cannot be changed Simple, right? 😄 But these small concepts are the foundation of everything in JavaScript! I’m learning step by step and sharing my journey here 💻✨ 💬 Question: Do you prefer let or const while coding?
