” to the browser. write("Life without ice cream isn't the same"); 18 Chapter 1 a quick dip into javascript 1 scoop gone, 4 left! The next statement subtracts one from the number of scoops and then sets scoops to that new value, four. write("Life without ice cream isn't the same"); That’s the last statement in the block, so we loop back up to the conditional and start over again.

Take the expression in this statement for instance: Here’s a JavaScript statement that assigns the result of evaluating an expression to the variable total. We use * for multiply and / for divide. var total = price - (price * (discount / 100)); Here’s our variable total. And this whole thing is an expression. And the assignment. If you’ve ever taken a math class, balanced your checkbook or done your taxes, we’re sure these kinds of numeric expressions are nothing new. This expression evaluates to a price reduced by a discount that is a percent of the price.
