Basic Web development
Web development is the work involved in making a website on the internet. A basic website code includes three languages: HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Each plays its own role in website development
Let’s take a calculator as an example,
HTML codes for the structure of the website like creating the buttons, or input boxes and whatnot.
In our case, HTML will create buttons containing the numbers, also, it will display a “0” which will be where the expression displays itself when the user clicks the buttons.
JavaScript codes for the function of the website. e.g. clicking a button to another page, or a link to another tab.
So in our case, after writing the JavaScript codes, we should be able to write mathematical expressions and get the output after pressing “=”. And able to clear the answer when clicking “C”
CSS designs the website and makes it look attractive by adding colors and animations.
In our case, I’ve added a background color, button borders, as well as some animation for when dividing by 0 (which is invalid).
You’re thinking, “How come it changed so much?”, that’s what CSS does, After creating the buttons with HTML, and giving them their functions with JavaScript, CSS adjusted their positioning, as well as gave them colors, and borders.
To view the full potential of the calculator, its animation, and its functionality, try the calculator using the simulation below!
