I’m confused about JavaScript

Question

I’ve just started learning JavaScript but I’m confused. It says that you need to use the script tags for JavaScript. But in all of the SoloLearn examples there are no script tags in the HTML section. It just has code written in the JavaScript section of the coding playground.

Answer 1

//The JavaScript codes you write in JavaScript section get render in html section for eg:

JavaScript section
console.log("Hello world");

Rendered code in html

//html codes
<script>
console.log("Hello world");

//Its fine you write in HTML or JavaScript section at final JavaScript get render in HTML, but writing in JavaScript section makes code not confusing and clean

Answer 2

Yes, you can say that.

Answer 3

Learn Javascript give you a colossal power. You need a little of html and css, and with lot of practice yo can start the angular or react way and be a mr. frontend.

script tags exist to call the js code into the html document. js is the power.

Answer 4

SoloLearn playground is different from actual text-editor. In sololearn you did not need link to javascript. Here, it is already linked. But on our local machine. HTML files need script tag. Script tag also works on sololearn playground if you do not want extra file for your javascript you just do this

<script>
console.log("hello ");
//your javascript code here...
</script>

You can write script tag either in head tag. Or you can also write your script tag before closing or ending body tag.

But, What when we want to add external files to our HTML? Well, here is solution, you can do this

<script src="your javascript file path"> </script>

For Example. I have javascript file in folder js and my file name is main.js. I can do this

<script src="js/main.js"> </script>

Answer 5

Answer 6

So basically the script tags are to link an external javascript or CSS page to your HTML?
