Basic JavaScript Cheet Sheet

Hello Everyone,

this topic is to teach you the basics of Javascript, which is the language used in Lens Studio Scripting.

Variables

var a;                          // variable
var b = "init";                 // string
var c = "Hi" + " " + "Joe";     // = "Hi Joe"
var d = 1 + 2 + "3";            // = "33" // the third number is string
var e = [2,3,5,8];              // array
var f = false;                  // boolean
var h = function(){};           // function object
const PI = 3.14;                // constant (it will not change)

var age = 18;                           // number 
var name = "Jane";                      // string
var name = {first:"Jane", last:"Doe"};  // object
var truth = false;                      // boolean
var sheets = ["HTML","CSS","JS"];       // array

Printing

print("text") // this will print " text " to the output area

Functions

function functionName(){

}

// you can call the function by
functionName()

If conditions

var a = 1
var b = 2
if (a > b) {
print("A is bigger than B")
} else {
print("B is bigger than A")
}

Math

var pi = Math.PI;       // 3.141592653589793
Math.round(4.4);        // = 4 - rounded
Math.round(4.5);        // = 5
Math.pow(2,8);          // = 256 - 2 to the power of 8
Math.sqrt(49);          // = 7 - square root 
Math.abs(-3.14);        // = 3.14 - absolute, positive value
Math.ceil(3.14);        // = 4 - rounded up
Math.floor(3.99);       // = 3 - rounded down
Math.sin(0);            // = 0 - sine
Math.cos(Math.PI);      // OTHERS: tan,atan,asin,acos,
Math.min(0, 3, -2, 2);  // = -2 - the lowest value
Math.max(0, 3, -2, 2);  // = 3 - the highest value
Math.log(1);            // = 0 natural logarithm 
Math.exp(1);            // = 2.7182pow(E,x)
Math.random();          // random number between 0 and 1
Math.floor(Math.random() * 5) + 1;  // random integer, from 1 to 5

Stings

var abc = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
var esc = 'I don\'t \n know';   // \n new line
var len = abc.length;           // string length
abc.indexOf("lmno");            // find substring, -1 if doesn't contain 
abc.lastIndexOf("lmno");        // last occurance
abc.slice(3, 6);                // cuts out "def", negative values count from behind
abc.replace("abc","123");       // find and replace, takes regular expressions
abc.toUpperCase();              // convert to upper case
abc.toLowerCase();              // convert to lower case
abc.concat(" ", str2);          // abc + " " + str2
abc.charAt(2);                  // character at index: "c"
abc[2];                         // unsafe, abc[2] = "C" doesn't work
abc.charCodeAt(2);              // character code at index: "c" -> 99
abc.split(",");                 // splitting a string on commas gives an array
abc.split("");                  // splitting on characters

this is the basic things that most new people to scripting need, if require any further information please tell me to update the topic
