What you’ll learn
- A program has a pathTrace software from input to output and distinguish a language from its host environment.Software behavior comes from programs, data, and the environment that lets code interact with the outside world.
- Functions make work reusableExplain how functions receive values, perform a job, and return results.A function gives one job a boundary that can be called, reused, and inspected.
- Control flow chooses what happensDescribe conditions, loops, and the limits of fixed rules.Conditions choose paths and loops repeat guarded work; neither removes the need to handle edge cases.
- Waiting can be part of the designExplain how an event loop queues later work in JavaScript.A delayed operation can finish later and schedule a callback while the program continues handling other jobs.
