When the browser sees javascript code inside the <script> tag, the browser will automatically interpret the code that is written inside the <script> tags. The basic javascript syntax would like below.


Everything you write in JavaScript program is a statement that can be executed by the browser. A statement is nothing but some data, function, or a variable or a method, etc.
