What are the main javascript principles?
JavaScript is a programming language that follows several principles to help developers write effective and maintainable code. Some of the main principles of JavaScript include:
Dynamic Typing: JavaScript is dynamically typed, which means that variables are not bound to specific data types. You can assign different types of values to a variable at different points in your code.
Prototypal Inheritance: JavaScript uses prototypal inheritance, where objects can inherit properties and methods from other objects. This helps with code reuse and creating object hierarchies.
First-class Functions: In JavaScript, functions are treated as first-class citizens. This means that you can assign them to variables, pass them as arguments to other functions, and return them as values from other functions.
Asynchronous Programming: JavaScript has built-in support for asynchronous programming. It uses techniques like callbacks, promises, and async/await to handle tasks that may take some time to complete, such as fetching data from an API or reading a file.
Lexical Scoping: JavaScript uses lexical scoping, which means that variables are resolved in the scope where they are defined, not where they are called. This allows for nested functions to access variables from their outer scope.
Event-driven Architecture: JavaScript is commonly used in web development, where it is highly event-driven. This means that code is often executed in response to events like button clicks, form submissions, or timers.
These are just a few of the main principles of JavaScript. JavaScript is a versatile language that can be used for a wide range of tasks, from adding interactivity to websites to building full-stack web applications.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
