Types

Javascript is a Dynamic Langauge

A variable can change type during execution

But that doesn't mean that types doesn't exist

Classes?

Functions

Functions are objects

There is no overload

All parameters are optional

like all other types, functions can be passed to functions

Scope

Scope is a set of rules for storing/find variables in some location

var a = 1;
b = 2;

function dummy(a){
    var c = a * 2;
    return c + b;
}

var c = dummy(b);

console.log(c); //6

JavaScript it's "compiled"

sayHello();

function sayHello() {
   console.log("Hello World");
}

function sayHello() {
   console.log("Hello World");
}

sayHello();

Functions create a scope

And functions can be nested

Utils

Arrays

Strings
