JavaScript Cheat Sheet For Beginners - 2021

JavaScript is a programming language used primarily by Web browsers to create a dynamic and interactive experience for the user. Most of the functions and applications that make the Internet indispensable to modern life are coded in some form of JavaScript. While JavaScript is not the only client-side scripting language on the Internet, it was one of the first and it is still the most widely used.

Here you can find the completed JavaScript cheat sheet 👇

Loops

for looping in javascript
while execute a block of code while some condition is true
do while similar to while, but executes at least as the condition is applied
after the code is executed
break break and exit the cycle based on some conditions
continue continue next iteration if some conditions are met

String Methods

Method Meaning
length determines length of string
indexof() finds position of the first occurrence of a character or text in the string
lastindexof() returns last occurrence of text in a string
search() searches and returns position of a specified value in string
slice() extracts and returns part of a string as another new string
substring() substring returns part of the string from start index to the end index specified. cannot take negative values unlike slice()
substr() returns the sliced out portion of a string, the second parameter being the length of the final string.
replace() replaces a particular value with another
touppercase() changes all characters into uppercase
tolowercase() changes all characters into lowercase
concat() joins two or more strings together into another string
trim() removes white spaces from a string
charat() finds character at a specified position
charcodeat() returns the unicode of character at the specified position
split() convert a string into array based on special character
accessing characters using [] access a character of string using its index (doesn’t work on some versions of ie)
