Declare two variables: x and y. Assign values 10 and 20 to them, respectively. Swap the values of x
and y without using a third variable. give javascript code

Here is the JavaScript code to swap the values of x and y without using a third variable:

javascript
Copy code
let x = 10;
let y = 20;

x = x + y; // x becomes 30 (10 + 20)


y = x - y; // y becomes 10 (30 - 20)
x = x - y; // x becomes 20 (30 - 10)

console.log("x:", x); // Output: x: 20


console.log("y:", y); // Output: y: 10 expalin step by step in basic english

Let's break down the code step by step in simple terms:

1. Initial values:
`x = 10`
`y = 20`
2. First step:

javascript

x = x + y;

We add `x` and `y` together. So, `x = 10 + 20`, which makes `x = 30`.
Now `x = 30`, but `y` is still `20`.
3. Second step:

javascript

y = x - y;

We subtract the original value of `y` from the new value of `x`. So, `y = 30 - 20`, which
makes `y = 10`.
Now `y = 10` (the original value of `x`), and `x` is still `30`.

4. Third step:

javascript

x = x - y;

We subtract the new value of `y` from `x`. So, `x = 30 - 10`, which makes `x = 20`.
Now `x = 20` (the original value of `y`), and `y` is still `10`.

By the end of this, the values of `x` and `y` are swapped:

`x` is now 20, and


`y` is now 10.

Output:

`x: 20`
`y: 10`

This method works by using math to switch the values without needing a third variable.

Write a function greet that accepts a name and returns the string "Hello, [name]! Welcome!" using
template literals. If no name is passed, the default value should be "Guest". give javascript code

Here is the JavaScript code for the greet function using template literals and a default parameter
for the name:

javascript
Copy code
function greet(name = "Guest") {
return `Hello, ${name}! Welcome!`;
}

console.log(greet("Alice")); // Output: Hello, Alice! Welcome!


console.log(greet()); // Output: Hello, Guest! Welcome! expalin step by step in basic english

Let's go through the code step by step in simple terms:

Code:

javascript

function greet(name = "Guest") {


return `Hello, ${name}! Welcome!`;

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 2/8
}

1. Function Declaration:
We create a function named `greet` that takes one parameter called `name`.
If no value is provided for `name` when calling the function, it will automatically use the
default value `"Guest"`. This is done by writing `name = "Guest"`.
2. Return Statement:
Inside the function, we use a template literal (a string with backticks ```, not quotes) to
return a custom greeting message.
The part `${name}` is a placeholder that inserts the value of the `name` variable into the
string.
So, the function returns the message: `"Hello, [name]! Welcome!"`.

Example 1:

javascript

console.log(greet("Alice"));

When we call `greet("Alice")`, the name `Alice` is passed to the function.


The function returns: `"Hello, Alice! Welcome!"`.

Example 2:

javascript

console.log(greet());

When we call `greet()` without passing any name, the default value `"Guest"` is used.
The function returns: `"Hello, Guest! Welcome!"`.

Summary:

If a name is given, the message will say "Hello, [name]! Welcome!".


If no name is given, the message will use "Guest" instead.

Write an if-else statement that checks if a variable score is between 90 and 100 (inclusive). If true,
log "Excellent". If the score is between 70 and 89, log "Good". Otherwise, log "Needs
improvement".give javascript code

Here is the JavaScript code using an if-else statement to check the value of score:

javascript
Copy code

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 3/8
let score = 85; // You can change this value to test other cases

if (score >= 90 && score <= 100) {


console.log("Excellent");
} else if (score >= 70 && score <= 89) {
console.log("Good");
} else {
console.log("Needs improvement");
} expalin step by step in basic english

Let's go through the code step by step in basic English:

Code:

javascript

let score = 85; // You can change this value to test other cases

We create a variable called `score` and give it a value of `85`. You can change this value to test
different scenarios.

First `if` condition:

javascript

if (score >= 90 && score <= 100) {


console.log("Excellent");
}

Here, the program checks if the value of `score` is between 90 and 100, including 90 and 100.
This is done using the condition `score >= 90 && score <= 100`.
If this condition is true, it logs `"Excellent"`.

Second `else if` condition:

javascript

else if (score >= 70 && score <= 89) {


console.log("Good");
}

If the first condition isn't true, the program checks if `score` is between 70 and 89, including 70
and 89. This is done with `score >= 70 && score <= 89`.
If this condition is true, it logs `"Good"`.

`else` statement:
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 4/8
javascript

else {
console.log("Needs improvement");
}

If neither of the above conditions is true (meaning the score is less than 70), the program logs
`"Needs improvement"`.

Example with `score = 85`:

Since 85 is between 70 and 89, the second condition is true, so it logs `"Good"`.

Summary:

If the `score` is between 90 and 100: It logs `"Excellent"`.


If the `score` is between 70 and 89: It logs `"Good"`.
If the `score` is less than 70: It logs `"Needs improvement"`.

Modify the switch statement to handle both lowercase and uppercase input (e.g., "APPLE" and
"apple" should both be valid). give javascript code
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
To handle both lowercase and uppercase inputs in a switch statement, you can convert the input
to either lowercase or uppercase before performing the switch. Here's the JavaScript code:

javascript
Copy code
let fruit = "APPLE"; // You can test with different cases like "apple", "APPLE", etc.

switch (fruit.toLowerCase()) { // Convert input to lowercase


case "apple":
console.log("You chose an apple!");
break;
case "banana":
console.log("You chose a banana!");
break;
case "orange":
console.log("You chose an orange!");
break;
default:
console.log("Unknown fruit");
} expalin step by step in basic english

Let's break down the code step by step in simple terms:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 5/8
Code:

javascript

let fruit = "APPLE"; // You can test with different cases like "apple", "APPLE", etc.

We create a variable called `fruit` and assign it the value `"APPLE"`. You can change this to test
other fruit names like `"apple"` or `"orange"`.

Converting to Lowercase:

javascript

switch (fruit.toLowerCase()) {

Here, we use the `toLowerCase()` method, which changes any uppercase letters in the `fruit`
variable to lowercase.
For example, if `fruit` is `"APPLE"`, it becomes `"apple"`.

Switch Cases:

javascript

case "apple":
console.log("You chose an apple!");
break;
case "banana":
console.log("You chose a banana!");
break;
case "orange":
console.log("You chose an orange!");
break;
default:
console.log("Unknown fruit");
}

Case 1: "apple": If `fruit` (now in lowercase) is `"apple"`, it will log `"You chose an apple!"`.
Case 2: "banana": If `fruit` is `"banana"`, it will log `"You chose a banana!"`.
Case 3: "orange": If `fruit` is `"orange"`, it will log `"You chose an orange!"`.
Default case: If the value of `fruit` doesn't match any of the cases, it will log `"Unknown fruit"`.

Example with `fruit = "APPLE"`:

The `toLowerCase()` method converts `"APPLE"` to `"apple"`.


The `switch` statement matches the `"apple"` case, so it logs `"You chose an apple!"`.

Summary:

By converting `fruit` to lowercase, the `switch` statement can handle both lowercase and
uppercase inputs. So whether you input `"apple"` or `"APPLE"`, it works the same.

Write a function square that takes one argument and returns its square. Then, rewrite the same
function using arrow function syntax.give javascript
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
Here is the square function written using both the regular function syntax and the arrow function
syntax in JavaScript:

Using regular function syntax:


javascript
Copy code
function square(num) {
return num * num;
}

console.log(square(5)); // Output: 25
Using arrow function syntax:
javascript
Copy code
const square = (num) => num * num;

console.log(square(5)); // Output: 25 expalin step by step in basic english

Let's break down both the regular function and the arrow function step by step:

1. Regular Function Syntax:

javascript

function square(num) {
return num * num;
}

console.log(square(5)); // Output: 25

Function Declaration:
We use the keyword `function` to create a function named `square`.
It takes one argument, `num`, which represents the number we want to square.
Return Statement:
Inside the function, we return the result of `num * num`, which multiplies `num` by itself.
Example:
When we call `square(5)`, the function returns `5 * 5`, which is `25`.

2. Arrow Function Syntax:

javascript

const square = (num) => num * num;

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 7/8
console.log(square(5)); // Output: 25

Arrow Function Declaration:


We create a constant variable `square` and assign it an arrow function.
`(num)` is the input argument to the function.
Arrow and Return:
After the arrow `=>`, we immediately return the result of `num * num`. With arrow functions,
if there is only one expression, you don't need the `return` keyword or curly braces.
Example:
When we call `square(5)`, the function returns `5 * 5`, which is `25`.

Summary:

Both versions of the function do the same thing: they return the square of a number.
The regular function uses `function` and `return`.
The arrow function is shorter and doesn't need `return` when there is only one expression.
