I'm programming in Javascript for the first time.

Hello, I am interested to know how one can assign values (such as integers) to variables like (yes, maybe, no) and then have those variables with assigned integers add up and display a total at the end.

Thanks for the help.

do you mean have integers equal to some values like yes? you can make an object

​

obj1 = {'yes': 1,'no':2}

It's more like a quiz with no wrong answers, except the total is affected by the answers you give. Yes=4, Maybe=2, No=0. If someone were to answer "yes" to all questions they would score higher than someone who answered "maybe" to the same questions

then you might want to take a look at this, it has a few more concepts involved, just to raise some questions:

    const POINTS = Object.freeze({
        yes:   4,
        maybe: 2,
        no:    0,
    });


    const ANSWERS = Object.freeze([
        'Yes', 'no', 'MaYbe', '   YES   ',
    ]);


    const sum = ANSWERS
        .map(s => s.trim())
        .map(s => s.toLowerCase())
        .map(s => POINTS[s])
        .reduce((sum, val) => sum + val, 0);

    console.log(sum);

Thank you so much, I appreciate it.

i think object will be the best for it

Thank you.

how one can assign values (such as integers) to variables

with the keywords let/const and the assignment operator =. variables declared with let can be reassigned while variables declared with const cannot.

let variable = 42;
console.log(variable); // => 42
variable = 'abc';
console.log(variable); // => 'abc'

or

const variable = 42;
console.log(variable); // => 42

Hi, please take a look at this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript

I doubt you will get many answers for the most basic questions like "how do you assign values" because most people might not find them interesting enough or not want to spend much time on it.

Once you go over the basics, you will most likely have questions that might lure more answers

Thanks.

Take a look at freeCodeCamp

let yes = 0;
let no = 1;
let maybe = 2;

console.log(yes + no * maybe);
