JavaScript in Computer Science

Although covered briefly, JavaScript is taught at both key stages 3 and 4, whereby students learn to create interactive websites using basic scripts, this includes:

Alerts and Buttons: JavaScript enables students to create interactive elements on web pages, such as alerts triggered by button clicks. Alerts provide popup messages to users, enhancing user experience and providing feedback.

Variables and + Operator: Students learn to declare and initialize variables in JavaScript to store and manipulate data. The + operator can concatenate strings and perform arithmetic operations on numbers, enabling dynamic content generation and calculations.

Prompts: JavaScript prompts allow students to interact with users by displaying dialog boxes that prompt them to input data. Prompts can be used to gather user input, validate form submissions, and customize user experiences on web pages.
