JavaScript Properties

JavaScript is a high-level, dynamically typed language that abstracts complex computer operations, allowing developers to focus on coding without worrying about memory allocation or CPU processes. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including imperative, functional, object-oriented, event-driven, and asynchronous styles. Additionally, JavaScript uses prototype-based inheritance and employs Just-In-Time compilation to convert code to machine code during runtime.

JavaScript is a high-level (high abstraction) language, we mean:

👉 It hides the complex details of what’s happening in the computer (like memory, CPU,
hardware instructions).

You can do a lot without worrying about:

 How memory is allocated


 How data is stored at the hardware level
 How the CPU processes your code

JavaScript is a dynamically typed language it means you don’t have to define the data
type of a variable when you create it.

Example:
js
CopyEdit
let x = 5; // x is a number
x = "hello"; // now x is a string
x = true;

In JavaScript, objects are created from other objects, This is called prototype-based
inheritance.

const animal = {
sound: "Generic sound",
makeSound() {
console.log(this.sound);
}
};
const dog = Object.create(animal); // dog inherits from animal
dog.sound = "Woof";
dog.makeSound(); // Output: Woof
JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language because it supports:

Paradigm Meaning Example


� Imperative Step-by-step instructions Loops, for, if, etc.
Uses functions and avoids changing data .map(), .filter(), pure
� Functional
(immutability) functions
� Object-Oriented class, constructor,
Uses objects and inheritance
(OOP) prototype
� Event-driven Reacts to user or system events onclick, addEventListener
async/await, Promise,
🕓 Asynchronous Handles waiting tasks like API calls
setTimeout

It means that JavaScript supports more than one programming style (paradigm) — you can write code
in different ways depending on your needs.

JIT stands for Just-In-Time compilation.

It means JavaScript code is:

Converted to machine code while the program is running (at runtime), not before.
