Data Types

Boolean​

Booleans are a pretty simple concept with a weird name. A Boolean can be two things, either true or false.

let trueDude = true;
let falsey = false;

Numbers​

Just like in math in Javascript a number is a number. No special symbols or values

let seven = 7;
let yellow = 80;

Strings​

Strings are a collection of characters placed inside of Quotation Marks. Single or Double quotations work

let seven = 'The number 7';
let yellow = "The color of a sunflower";

Arrays​

An *Array is a collection of data with indexes. Meaning everything placed inside of the array will have a number that pairs with it which tells us the position of the item.

In order to add more than one item commas should be used to tell the computer that they are separate items.

let dwarves = ['Sneezy', 'Sleepy', 'Happy', 'Doc', 'Grumpy', 'Dopey', 'Bashful'];
Counting with Indexes

In the list above Sneezy can be found at Index[0]. Sleepy can be found at Index[1] and so on.
