Specific videos will also teach you about the different data types and how to use them. In addition to this, you’ll delve into numbers, strings, floats, functions, undefined, and null, along with understanding their importance. The course also features a dedicated section for objects, classes, and object-oriented programming (OOP), along with covering concepts such as hoisting, closures, promises, and block scoping.
