## 1. What is JavaScript?

**JavaScript** is a high-level, interpreted scripting language used to create and control dynamic website content. It runs in the browser and can manipulate HTML and CSS to create interactive user experiences.
**JavaScript** is a high-level, interpreted scripting language used to create and control dynamic website content. Unlike HTML and CSS—which handle structure and style—JavaScript adds behavior and interactivity to your web pages. It runs in the browser and can manipulate HTML and CSS in real-time to create rich user experiences.

### Key Features:
- **Client-side Execution**: Runs directly in the user's browser.
- **Dynamic and Interactive**: Responds to user actions like clicks and form inputs.
- **Lightweight and Fast**: Designed to be quick and responsive.
- **Versatile**: Works on both frontend (browser) and backend (using Node.js).
- **Client-side Execution**: Runs directly in the user's browser, making interactions fast and seamless.
- **Dynamic and Interactive**: Responds to user actions such as clicks, keyboard inputs, and more.
- **Lightweight and Fast**: Designed for quick execution and responsiveness.
- **Versatile**: Used both on the frontend (in browsers) and backend (via Node.js).
