Variables are used for storing values. In Javascript var and let are used for variable declaration. There is also a const, which is similar to let but defines a constant, which cannot be reassigned once it is declared. The difference between the variables is that var is function scoped and let/const is block scoped. This means that a variable declared with var is defined throughout the program, while let/cost is only accessible within a block. 

The name of the variable is case-sensitive and it must start with a letter, but it may contain numbers within the name.

...

// variable Declaration 
var x1 = 15; // an integer i.e a whole number 
var valF = 0.323; // a floating point number i.e a numbers with a decimal point
let bFlag = false; // a true or false value i.e a single bit value
const threshold = 5; // a collection of characters 
let character = 'g'; // a single character. Note the different quotation marks
 

console.log(x1);
print('The value of valF is ' + valF);
console.log(typeof bFlag);
print('The value of threshold is ' + threshold);
console.log(typeof character);

Variables in JavaScript are not directly associated with any particular value type, and any variable can be assigned (and re-assigned) values of all types:

let foo = 42;    // foo is now a number
foo = 'bar'; // foo is now a string
foo = true;  // foo is now a boolean

...

//global variables
var length1 = 150;
var length2 = 200;
 
function setup(){
	createCanvas(300,300);// define window size 
	stroke(255,255,255);// define line colour
}

function draw() {
	let strokeWeight = 5 //define a local variable accessible only within the block
	background(0); // define background colour
	line(100,10,100,length1); // draw a line 
	line(150,10,150,length2);
	line(200,10,200,250);
	fill(0,0,0); // fill colour
	strokeWeight(strokeWeight); // line thickness 
	ellipse(100,length1,50,50); // draw an ellipse
	ellipse(150,length2,50,50); // draw an ellipse
	noFill(); // turn off fill
	ellipse(200,250,50,50); // draw an ellipse
}

Javascript Data

Types 

JavaScript’s data types are as follows:

...

Boolean are either true or false values, represented by a single bit in memory, either a 1 for true or a 0 for false in binary.

Null’s value in JavaScript is Object, but it is not an actual object that can have properties added to it. It is a reference to a variable that is defined in memory but has no value.

Undefined, unlike Null, means that the variable is not known to exist. This can be represented by a variable that is declared but never given a value.

Numbers in JavaScript are unlike many programming languages that define numbers by type (integers, floating-point, short, long, etc.) Instead they are defined as 64-bit double precision floating numbers, where the value itself is stored in bits 0 to 51, the exponent in bits 51 to 62, and the sign in bit 63. JavaScript also has a reserved keyword NaN which indicates that a number is a not a legal number, but is itself of type Number.

Strings represent a series of characters and can consist of multiple characters or single characters.

Symbols are a primitive data type i.e. tokens which serve as unique id’s.

Objects are mutable, and are not stored as continuous buffers, but instead are represented by a variety of data structure.

Operators 

An operator is a symbol that tells the computer to perform a particular math or logic operation. Some of the most common operators are:
