Definition from Wikipedia:-

JavaScript, often abbreviated as JS, is a programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. JavaScript is high-level, often just-in-time compiled, and multi-paradigm. It has curly-bracket syntax, dynamic typing, prototype-based object orientation, and first-class functions.

Let’s understand what javascript actually is: JAVASCRIPT is a scripting language that helps us in creating dynamic content, It also helps animating images, controlling multimedia, and many more things. It acts functionality to the webpages making it more interactive to the users.

What generally makes confusion (JAVA AND JAVASCRIPT)

People generally get confused with the terms java and javascript that java is the same as javascript. but that’s not the case. Java is a programming language, and Javascript is a scripting language that is used to script web pages. Initially, JavaScript had a name: “LiveScript”. But Java was very popular at that time, so it was decided that positioning a new language as a “younger brother” of Java would help.

Why javascript was created:- JavaScript was initially created to “make web pages alive”.

Where are Javascript used:–

• Creating mobile applications—JavaScript isn’t just for website scripting. Its also used for the creation of mobile apps on phones and tablets as well.
• Developing web browser-based games—Some day or the other we would have played a game directly from your web browser. JavaScript helps to make that happen.
• Interactivity in websites—We’ll need to do some JavaScripting, If we want a website to be more than a static page of text,
• Back-end web development— JavaScript is Mostly used on the front end of things, but it’s a versatile enough scripting language to be used on back-end infrastructure, too.

Let’s have a look at the javascript release date and different versions

JavaScript was invented by Brendan Eich in 1995 and became an ECMA standard in 1997. ECMAScript is the official name of the language. ECMAScript versions are abbreviated as ES1, ES2… E6. Since 2016 new versions are named by year (ECMAScript 2018 / 2019 / 2020 / 2021).
