JavaScript

Switch

The switch statement evaluates an expression and allows different blocks of code to execute depending on the result of that expression. It contains any number of case clauses marking code to execute based on values returned by the expression, and an optional default statement marking code that executes if none of the case clauses are true. The code following a matching case clause will execute until it encounters a break statement, a return statement, or the end of the switch block. This means that if a break is omitted at the end of one case block, subsequent case blocks and/or the default block will be executed regardless of the value of the original expression. javascript switch (expression) { case value1: // Statements executed when expression = value1

Attributes

Attributes can be added to the opening tag of an HTML element to change its default behavior or provide additional data about it.
HTML

An HTML element is a piece of content in an HTML document. It is everything from the opening tag to the closing tag.
Python

requests.request()

Makes seven main kinds of request to a web server: get, options, head, post, put, patch, and delete; it can also handle custom HTTP verbs if needed, and returns a response object.
JavaScript

Conditionals

Conditionals take an expression, which is code that evaluates to determine a value, and checks if it is true or false. If it’s true, we can tell our program to do one thing — we can even account for false to do another. An if statement accepts an expression with a set of parentheses: - If the expression evaluates to a truthy value, then the code within its code body executes. - If the expression evaluates to a falsy value, its code body will not execute. js const isMailSent = true; if (isMailSent) {
JavaScript

Data Types

Data types are how data in programming is classified. In JavaScript, there are eight fundamental data types: Number, BigInt, String, Boolean, Null, Undefined, Symbol, and Object.

Java

Comments

A comment is a piece of text within a program that is not executed. It can be used to provide additional information to aid in understanding the code. In Java, single-line comments are created with two consecutive forward slashes //. js // I am a single-line comment! System.out.println(Hello, world!); A single-line comment can also be used to comment after a line of code:
