JavaScript (JS) is a high-level, interpreted programming language mainly used to make websites interactive and dynamic. It runs inside the browser and allows you to control webpage behavior like clicking buttons, showing messages, validating forms, etc.

•Event-driven (responds to user actions like clicks)
•Object-oriented (supports objects and classes)
•Asynchronous (handles tasks like API calls)

Hello World
Click Me
function changeText() { document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Text Changed!"; }Explanation:

•changeText() → JavaScript function
•document.getElementById() → Selects HTML element
