Different Data Types in Javascript

The speaker discusses the different data types in JavaScript. There are three categories: primitive data types (such as string, number, boolean), non-primitive data types (like object, array, function), and special data types (including NaN, infinity). Understanding these types is important for JavaScript programming, particularly for Angular and front-end developers. So, it is JavaScript series, so this is the first question, so what are the different data types in JavaScript? The answer is, there are several data types in JavaScript, let us break down, one is primitive data types, non-primitive data types, second one, and third one is special data types. Okay, first of all, let us see what are primitive data types. So, primitive data types contains a string, which is used for text, and number is used for numeric values, and third one is Boolean, that represents either true or false, and next one is undefined, it represents uninitialized variables, and next one is null, it represents the absence of values, and next one is symbol, it is introduced in XMAScript 6 for creating unique identifier. The next set of data types are non-primitive or reference data types, so we say object is a key value pairs, and is a collection of data. The next one is array, a type of object used for storing and manipulating an ordered list of items, okay, and the next set is function, it is a reusable block of code. Next set of data types are special data types, okay, for example, NAN, that means not a number, so it represents a value that is not a legal number, okay, the next one is infinity or minus infinity, it represents positive or negative infinity respectively, okay, so understanding these data types is crucial for effective JavaScript programming, especially in your role as an Angular developer or any front-end developer, they help in managing and manipulating data in our applications, if you have any specific questions or any, if you like me to elaborate on a particular topic, feel free to ask, okay, thank you.
