I'm still a noob learning to code in JS on my phone with grasshopper.. since you opened this thread, I'm sure you know what variable chaining means and probably what array indexing means?
Okay I'll go straight to my question then..

While I was studying array indexing after learning about variable chaining, I say this code example that wanted to explain array indexing.


Var groceries = [
'apples'
'bananas'
'orange'
] ;

Var Fruit = groceries [1]

So after seeing that example and considering what I learnt from variable chaining, I made me wanna ask this. Can I also call this variable chaining since the value of the argument 'groceries' was assigned ( I think ) to the value of the argument 'fruit' ?

If I were were being taught by a programming teaching I probably would have asked him that too but since I am teaching myself, I have to seek for answers somewhere else..

So please, any one with any Idea of the answer should please help me. Thanks alot.

still learning JS, but u can source for answers on stackoverflow or youtube(if you have data)

I don't really get your question but if your code is right
'fruits' is currently equal to 'banana' because index starts at 0 so apples index is 0 banana is 1 also i'll recommend you change the source you're learning from 'var' is nowadays obsolete you should be taught to use 'let' and 'const' instead

Do you mean optional chaining?

Chaining is common in programming languages

Commonly used are optional and method chaining

Which has nothing to do with your code above..

Nothing like variable chaining in JavaScript

Refactor your question.

Exactly what is your question? It's obvious you actually don't understand the code you've written.
If the value of groceries is assigned to be the same as fruit. So exactly what is your question? cos I'm sure you know this has nothing to do with Chaining programming.

what if I wanna create a global variable ? I'll use let ?

no offence but for you to say the bolded, then I don't think you know your JS well.
In JS, sometimes variables can be assigned other variables.

y = 17 ;
x = y ;
print (x) ;

In the above example, x is given the value 17 since y holds the value 17. This means the number 17 would be printed.

this isn't variable chaining either. the essence of creating variables is to be able to reuse the value they hold in this case, you just saved yourself from writing x = 17 by using the value you saved in the variable y

Maybe I don't

Show me an article or a write up anywhere that specifically talks about variable chaining in JavaScript

Apart from what I listed in my original post

So why do we create named variables? is it to chain variables or what? Are you referring to method chaining or function?

There's nothing like Variable Chaining in JavaScript and maybe in Programming too

You're only assigning the value of y to x

and that is called variable chaining. Google it

y = 17 ;
x = y ;
print (x) ;

Front this your code..

If I come below and change

y = 17 ;
x = y

y=20


x will still be 17 and doesn't track the state of y

how is this chaining to you? ;

I don't think x would still be 17 bro, because x is still equal to y which would make x be equal to 20 and not 17.
Because you just reassigned a new value to y which is 20 and since x is still x=y, x would print as 20. Shey you get?

shows u don't know javascript then...

By doing the above... u are basically setting x = 17 and not y exactly, x doesnt track the state of y.... y was just a value..

Just checked and you're actually the original poster... well...

Firstly i don't think there's anything like variable chaining in JS. What we have is method chaining or function chaining.

And for your question x is still equal to 17

So much arrogance from someone who doesn’t know much … smh

i wonder.

from the way he's using print()
u wonder what exactly he's trying to print in Js

There's no one being arrogant here. I said there's stuff called variable chaining in JS, folks said there's no such thing. I'm trying to prove that such exist(according to what I've studied) and now you're saying I don't know much and I'm arrogant. Yes, I don't know much, no doubt, but with the little I know, I refuse to let anyone one who lacks any viable explanation to prove me wrong, just tell me that I'm wrong and expect me to swallow it unchecked. If that's what makes me arrogant, then let it be so.

Define variable chaining in JS

All your examples above are wrong and has nothing to do with chaining.

Var groceries = [
'apples'
'bananas'
'orange'
] ;

Var Fruit = groceries [1]


if i come below and change.

Var groceries = [
'Dog'
'rat',
"puss"
] ;


Fruits will still be "bananas".


||||||||||||||||||||||||||||



y = 17 ;
x = y ;
print (x) ;

From this your code..

If I come below and change

y = 17 ;
x = y

y=20


x will still be 17 and doesn't track the state of y

If you haven't heard of stuff and someone comes and says stuff exists, don't just come here and be saying blatter when you've not done your research just because you feel you're a pro. No one is an island of knowledge and according to one developer I idolise on this forum "them no dey learn JAVASCRIPT finish"

X will be 17 not 20 because it’s a primitive type not a reference type.

wrong fruit can not remain = bananas. Fruit would now be assigned the 2nd string in the groceries array which is 'rat' as it's value. Because Var fruit is still = groceries [1]. If you want fruit to remain bananas you have to give it the value bananas , or else it would continue to bear the same value as the second item in the groceries array irrespective of what you update the items of the groceries array to be in the future because var fruit = groceries [1] if your want fruit to still remain as bananas, change
var fruit = groceries [1] to var fruit = bananas

ok what if I now reassigned new values to the groceries variables but don't reassign a new value to the fruit variable, what would be the output of the code.

groceries = [
'condom'
'kayamata'
'refnol'

Fruit = groceries [1]

Then what would be the output ? Would fruit still remain bananas or would it change to 'kayamata' ?
