Getting Started

Here is a simple one line program.

It has these parts.

print

The name of the function to perform. JavaScript is case sensitive so print is considered a different name to Print

( ... )

brackets surrounding the parameters for the print function

" ... "

Quote marks surrounding some text characters

hi there

The text characters themselves

 ;

a semicolon indicating the end of that part of code.

This is a slightly longer program.

Here three commands are issued, one after the other. The last line uses an additional two parameters. These extra parameters say where to place the printed text. The text "somewhere else" appears 300 pixels from the left and 200 pixels from the top.
