JavaScript

 JavaScript 

JavaScript (JS) is a high-level, dynamic, and interpreted programming language that is widely used for creating interactive and dynamic content on websites. It was initially developed by Brendan Eich at Netscape and first appeared in 1995. JavaScript is known for its versatility and is primarily used for client-side scripting to enhance user interfaces and create dynamic web pages. It can also be used on the server side (with Node.js) to build scalable network applications.

JavaScript History:

- 1995: JavaScript was introduced by Netscape.

- 1997: ECMAScript, the standard upon which JavaScript is based, was first published.

- 2005: AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) emerged, allowing asynchronous data exchange with the server, leading to more dynamic    web applications.

- 2009: Node.js was released, allowing JavaScript to be used for server-side development.

- 2015: ECMAScript 6 (ES6) was released, introducing new features and syntax enhancements.

 How to Use JavaScript:

JavaScript can be used in various environments, including web browsers and server-side with Node.js. To use JavaScript in an HTML document, you can include it within `<script>` tags in the HTML file or link to an external JavaScript file. Here's a
