I am a beginner and Started learning JavaScript today. I tried from a tutorial:
let a = 1 console.log('a')
Now,when I run it, the answer should be the value which is 1, but it shows me the name instead which is a.
What I am doing wrong?? I am using VsCode and console from chrome to see the results..
I tried:
let a = 1 console.log('a')
Google console shows me a instead of 1.
When you do,
let a = 1;
It creates a variable (named a) that is holding the value 1.
Now, in order to access the value stored in a, you must do:
console.log(a)
You are doing console.log('a')
The above statement prints out the character 'a' onto the console. Because whatever inside the console.log() is a string, and strings are directly logged onto the console.
You can fix this by writing:
console.log(a); Its output will be 1, because you have stored 1 in a.
