Before you keep reading...

Runestone Academy can only continue if we get support from individuals like you. As a student you are well aware of the high cost of textbooks. Our mission is to provide great books to you for free, but we ask that you consider a $10 donation, more if you can or less if $10 is a burden.

1.10. JavaScript

We have come to realize that not everyone loves Python as much as we do. So we have now made it possible to write activecode examples in pure javascript as well as Python. Here is a simple example:

var x = 10; var y = 11; var z = x + y; console.log(z); function fact(n) { if(n <= 1) return 1; else { return n * fact(n-1); } } console.log(fact(10)); writeln('hello world');

Making great stuff takes time and $$. If you appreciate the book you are reading now and want to keep quality materials free for other students please consider a donation to Runestone Academy. We ask that you consider a $10 donation, but if you can give more thats great, if $10 is too much for your budget we would be happy with whatever you can afford as a show of support.

Adding a javascript example is just as easy as Python, all you need to do is add a :language: parameter to the activecode directive.

.. activecode:: jstest1
   :language: javascript
   :nocodelens:

   var x = 10;
   var y = 11;
   var z = x + y;
   console.log(z);
   function fact(n) {
      if(n <= 1) return 1;
      else {
          return n * fact(n-1);
      }
   }
   console.log(fact(10));
   writeln('hello world');


Adding a javascript example is just as easy as Python, all you need to do is add a ``:language:``
parameter to the activecode directive.
