A JavaScript Crash Course - Data Types, var, let, and const
Below is a list of all types (aside from Symbols and Objects) in JavaScript. Numbers can be either integers or floating-point.

Pages on modern websites, and especially Single-Page Applications (SPAs) do not follow the traditional method of loading new pages completely whenever something changes on them. Client-Side Routing is used instead - to route towards resources to load another part of the program or structurally change the application's entire view if needed, when an action (such as clicking a button or link) is performed.
