# Coaching - JavaScript 2 with Founders and Coders --- ## Daily learning --- We believe it's important to build a habit of learning --- The best way to do this is with small sessions every (working) day --- ### Active problem-solving Warm up by writing some code before you start the day (i.e. CodeWars or freeCodeCamp or a daily challenge) --- ### Passive learning Finish the day by reading your code from earlier or reading an interesting article. Try to take notes as you go to reinforce the learning. (Dan likes [Anki](https://apps.ankiweb.net/) for turning notes into flashcards) --- ## Recap: Functions ---- ### What is a function? Some lines of code that do a predefined task. A function may take some input and return an output. ---- #### Writing a function ---- ```javascript= function addTwoNumbers(num1,num2){ return num1+num2; } var total = addTwoNumbers(2,3) // total is assigned the returned value ``` ---- What is structural? What is customisable? ---- #### Structure ```javascript= function NAME (){ } NAME(); // total is assigned the returned value ``` --- ### Equality operators ---- We use Triple equals (`===`) or double equals (`==`) to check if two things are equivalent. ---- Triple equals checks for strict equality - whether two things are of the same type and value. Double equals checks if things are the same value. ---- ```javascript= console.log("1" === 1); // logs false console.log("1" == 1); // logs true ``` --- ### If statements ---- _If statements_ allow us to define a condition to be met. When that condition is met, the code inside will run. ---- ```javascript= if (myNumber === 2){ console.log('The value is two, and the type is number'); }; ``` --- ## Practice
