Javascript Code: Display Date

Today I am going to explain very simple code that displays current date by clicking a button.
For someone who starts his adventure with Javascript it might sound complicated , but don't worry it is much simpler than it looks like.
To write that kind of code user must be familiar with usage of if else statement.
In JavaScript we have the following conditional statements:
  • We use if to specify a block of code to be executed, if a specified condition is true
  • Use else to specify a block of code to be executed, if the same condition is false
  • Use else if to specify a new condition to test, if the first condition is false 

To write Display Date code we need to open Notepad++ and write following code:

This code opens html website on which we can add interactive content.



This Javascript code is based on IF ELSE statement which check todays date and returns date assigned to number.

 After Clicking button" TRY IT " The Date in new paragraph will be displayed.

Little bit about jQuery


jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML. Used by over 60% of the 10,000 most visited websites, jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today. JQuery is free, open-source software licensed under the MIT License.
jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM(Document Object Model) elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications. jQuery also provides capabilities for developers to create plug-ins on top of the JavaScript library. This enables developers to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, theme-able widgets. The modular approach to the jQuery library allows the creation of powerful dynamic web pages and web applications.

Here is a little example how simple and short jQuery is comparing it to JavaScript Code.

jQuery

$ (‘body’) .css (‘background’, ‘#ccc’);

JavaScript

Function changeBachground(color) {
        Document.body.style.background = color;
}
Onload=”changeBackground (‘red’);”

JavaScript Comparison operators and Logical Operators

 Comparison operators 

Comparison operators are used in logical statements to determine equality or difference between variables or values.

Logical operators

Logical operators are used to determine the logic between variables or values.

Bitwise Operators

Bit operators work on 32 bits numbers.
Any numeric operand in the operation is converted into a 32 bit number.
The result is converted back to a JavaScript number.

JavaScript or Java?

JavaScript is A scripting language developed by Netscape to enable Web authors to design interactive sites. Although it shares many of the features and structures of the full Java language, it was developed independently. Javascript can interact with HTML source code, enabling Web authors to spice up their sites with dynamic content. JavaScript is endorsed by a number of software companies and is an open language that anyone can use without purchasing a license. It is supported by recent browsers from Netscape and Microsoft, though Internet Explorer supports only a subset, which Microsoft calls Jscript .


Java is a programming language expressly designed for use in the distributed environment of the Internet. It was designed to have the "look and feel" of the C++ language, but it is simpler to use than C++ and enforces an object-oriented programming model. Java can be used to create complete applications that may run on a single computer or be distributed among servers and clients in a network. It can also be used to build a small application module or applet for use as part of a Web page. Applets make it possible for a Web page user to interact with the page.
