thank you so much Beau! love your ending tag! "use your code for good" :)

Declaring variables in JS is done using keywords such as let, const or var. That's why you see the let keyword in this example. As for why it outputs Friday (I think this is an error on the teacher side), because the Date object in JS has a method getDay which takes his Local Time and on the day of him writting this code it was Friday so it outputs it.

i am very impressed the videos about js and especially buea teacher😍

[MiguelVargas-pzzv]

Got a little lost on how you got Friday for the first example.. If someone can explain that would be great

[CiscoZero]

How does the first switch case know that it's Friday though? Does it reference some kind of global property?

[MilesLogan]

Can this be done with changing background colors on a webpage? If so how exactly

[danielsen-Kf]

how come when it says Case followed by a number the number is not in parentheses but when it is Case followed by a word or letter they are in parentheses?
case 1
case "a"

thanks, I'm sick of using if statement over and over

[stephenkamenar]

i don't think i've ever used a switch. they're bad because you have to remember to break; just use else if

[reidwilliamson]

Much love Beau! Thanks for your videos

what does let day; mean?

let day what? we did not assign any value to this variable here ... Why?

[EpicNarrative]

what is the function of case? why is it there.

[nielsnet]

Always the same example given on every

[peterwoods]

That was a terrible discussion of switch statements;. totally confusing.

[kmachappy]

please avoid this channel they're terrible at explaining code with the worst examples lmao.

[PhilippeRigovanov]

So you think that all dinosaurs were able to swim?
