How are variables allocated memory in JavaScript?

JavaScript handling of the variable is different from other programming languages C, C++., Java, etc. Variables in JavaScript can be thought of as named containers. You can place data into these containers and then refer to the data simply by naming the container.

Before you use a variable in a JavaScript program, you must declare it. Variables are declared with the var keyword as follows.

<script>
   var rank; var points;
</script>

Storing a value in a variable is called variable initialization. You can do variable initialization at the time of variable creation or at a later point in time when you need that variable.

<script>
   var rank = 1; 
   var points; 
   points = 100;
</script>
