JavaScript Reference

Quick Reference

The Boolean toString() method returns a string from the boolean. The booleans “true” or “false” are placed in another variable as strings “true” or “false”.

<!-- html element to place output -->
<p id="my_output"></p>
// variables
let my_boolean = true;
let my_text = my_boolean.toString();

// output the string to the HTML element
document.getElementById('my_output').innerHTML = 'The text variable is a ' + typeof my_text;

Output

The text variable is a string

Syntax

boolean.toString()

JavaScript Notes:

  • When using JavaScript, single or double quotation marks are acceptable and work identically to one another; choose whichever you prefer, and stay consistent
  • JavaScript is a case-sensitive language; firstName is NOT the same as firstname
  • Arrays count starting from zero NOT one; so item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on
  • JavaScript variables must begin with a letter, $, or _
  • JavaScript variables are case sensitive (x is not the same as X)

We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
