Variables in JavaScript are defined by using the var operator (short for variable), followed by the variable name, such as:
var test = "hi";
In this example, the variable test is declared and given an initialization value of "hi" (a string).
You can also define two or more variables using the same var statement:
var test = "hi", test2 = "hola";
Variables using the same var statement don't have to be of the same type:
var test = "hi", age = 25;
variables in JavaScript do not require initialization:
var test;
