Introduction:
JavaScript is a high-level programming language that is widely used in web development. It is a language that is easy to learn for beginners and has many features that make it attractive to experienced developers. One of the most important features of JavaScript is its ability to perform mathematical operations.
JavaScript has a number of built-in mathematical functions that can be used to perform basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In addition, the JavaScript Math object provides a number of properties and methods that can be used to perform more complex operations such as square roots and trigonometric functions.
In this article, we will take a look at how to do math in JavaScript. We will start with a review of the basics of performing arithmetic operations in JavaScript. We will then discuss the various properties and methods provided by the Math object. Finally, we will provide some examples of how to use JavaScript to solve common math problems.
The Basics:
Operators are the symbols that Javascript uses to calculate, or perform, operations with values. The orders of operations (or precedence) tell us the order in which operators are applied to values.
Operators:
Javascript has the standard set of Math operators that you would expect to find in most programming languages:
Assignment (=)
Addition (+)
Subtraction (-)
Multiplication (*)
Division (/)
Modulo (%) – this gives the remainder after division e.g. 5 % 2 = 1
Exponentiation (**) – this raises a number to a power e.g. 2 ** 3 = 8
Javascript also provides some shortcut assignment operators:
Addition/Assignment (+=) – adds value on the right of operator to value on left of operator and assigns result to value on left of operator e.g. x = 1; x += 2; // x is now 3
Subtraction/Assignment (-=) – subtracts value on the right of operator from value on left of operator and assigns result to value on left of operator e.g. x = 1; x -= 2; // x is now -1
Multiplication/Assignment (*=) – multiplies value on left of operator by value on right of operator and assigns result to value on left of operator e.g. x = 1; x *= 2; // x is now 2
Division/Assignment (/=) – divides value on left of operator by value on right of operator and assigns result to value on left of operator e.g. x = 1; x /= 2; // x is now 0.5
Variables:
Javascript is a programming language that can be used to perform various operations. In this guide, we will focus on how to do math in Javascript.
In order to do math in Javascript, you will need to use variables. Variables are containers that can hold values such as numbers or strings of text. You can think of them as buckets that you can use to store information.
To create a variable in Javascript, you will use the keyword var followed by the name of the variable. For example, var x = 5; This creates a variable named x and assigns the value 5 to it.
You can then use this variable in mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. For example, if you wanted to add 5 and 6 together, you would write:
x + 6; //11
If you wanted to subtract 6 from 5, you would write:
x – 6; //-1
If you wanted to multiply 5 and 6 together, you would write:
b * 6; //30
Functions:
In mathematics, a function is a relation between sets that assigns to each element of a first set, exactly one element of a second set. Usually, we write f(x) to mean the output of the function when the input is x.
In programming, functions are written in such a way that they can take any number of inputs and return an output. The output can be of any type (number, string, object, etc.). In JavaScript, functions are first-class objects, which means that they can be stored in variables, passed as arguments to other functions, and returned from functions.
Objects:
In this article, we will look at how to use objects when doing math in Javascript. We will cover topics such as operators, methods, and properties that can be used with numbers.
Arrays:
Arrays are a type of variable that can hold multiple values. You can think of an array as a list of items. To create an array, you use the Array() constructor or the [] operator. For example, the following code creates an array named myArray that contains three elements:
var myArray = new Array(“one”, “two”, “three”);
var myArray = [“one”, “two”, “three”];
You access array elements by using the element’s index number. For example, to access the second element in the myArray array, you would use myArray[1]. Array indexes are zero-based—the first element in an array has index 0, and the last element in an array has index length-1.
Loops:
There are various ways to perform calculations in JavaScript. One way is to use a loop. A loop is a repeating code block in JavaScript that lets you iterate through arrays or lists of data.
To create a loop in JavaScript, you use the for keyword. The syntax for a for loop is:
for (initialization; condition; increment) {
// code block to be executed
}
The initialization statement sets a starting value for the loop counter. The condition statement determines whether the loop will continue to run or not. If the condition is true, the code block will execute. If the condition is false, the code block will not execute and the loop will end. The increment statement increases or decreases the value of the loop counter.
Conditionals:
We use conditionals to make decisions in our code. The most common type of conditional is the if/else statement. With an if/else statement, we can check if a condition is true or false, and run different code based on the result.
For example, let’s say we want to check if a user is logged in before showing them some content. We could use an if/else statement for this:
if (userIsLoggedIn) {
// Show the content
} else {
// Show an error message
}
