Important notes on classes : It is common to capitalize the first letter of the class name to make clear it is a class and MORE q

Literal in programming: In computer science, a literal is a notation for representing a fixed value in source code. In JavaScript, it would be closed by { } or [ ]. Object Literal: This would be closed by { } and have a key(String or Number) and a value (any type) separated by a colon with each entry MORE q

It is a good idea to perform basic tests on user-inputted data before sending it to the server just to make sure it meets basic standards. This is not, in any way, a substitute for actual security tests that must be performed on the server before consuming the data. Any code running in the browser can be altered, so truly protecting the server from malicious code sent via form data can only be done away from the MORE q

Here I look at the use of compound assignment operators, allowing concise math operations. It provides examples, such as x += y, which simplifies expressions. Additionally, it introduces the modulus operator for finding remainders and checking even or odd numbers. Post-increment and pre-increment operators are also described for variable evaluation timing.
