Webscript Variables and Data Types

[x.MBM]

• Variables allow storing data in webscript programs. They are declared using var, let or const.
• Webscript has different data types like:
  • Numbers - integers and floats like 10, 3.14
  • Strings - text in quotes like "Hello"
  • Booleans - true/false values
  • Null - intentional empty value
  • Undefined - uninitialized variable
  • Objects - complex data structures
  • Arrays - ordered collection of values
• Examples declaring variables:
  let age = 30; const name = "John";
• Strings can use single or double quotes. Can be concatenated with +.
• Numbers don't need quotes. Can perform math operations.
• Booleans represent logical values. Stored as true or false.
• Null is an empty value that can be assigned.
• Undefined represents variables that have not been set yet.
• Typeof operator can check data type of a variable.
• Variables allow reusing values instead of repeating them.
• Cover type conversions like string to number etc.
• Explain dynamic typing - variables can hold different types of values.

The goal of this post is to provide a solid understanding of the core data types in webscript with plenty of examples so readers can start storing and working with data in their scripts.
