CoffeeScript is a lightweight programming language that compiles into JavaScript. It provides simple and easy-to-learn syntax, avoiding the complex syntax of JavaScript. CoffeeScript is influenced by JavaScript, Ruby, YAML, Haskell, Perl, and Python and has influenced MoonScript, LiveScript, and JavaScript.
Example: The below example is demonstrating the conversion of CoffeeScript code into JavaScript code:
CoffeeScript
# Assignment: number = 89 opposite = false # Functions: cube = (A) -> a * a * a # Conditions: number = -89 if !opposite |
JavaScript is the world’s most popular lightweight, interpreted, compiled programming language. It is also known as a scripting language for web pages. It is well-known for the development of web pages, and many non-browser environments also use it. JavaScript can be used for Client-side developments as well as Server-side development
Javascript
# Assignment: number = 89; opposite = false ; # Functions: cube = function (A) { return a * a * a; }; # Conditions: if (!opposite) { number = -89; } |
Now let us understand the step procedure of how to convert a CoffeeScript code into JavaScript with the example:
Step 1: Write CoffeeScript code and save the file with evenOrOdd.coffee extension
Javascript
// Write coffeeScript program to check whether // given number is even or odd number = 12 if number % 2 == 0 console.log "number is even" else console.log "number is odd" |
Step 2: To run the evenOrOdd.coffee file, you need to type the following command :
coffee -c evenOrOdd.coffee
Step 3: After successful compilation of the above evenOrOdd.coffee file, the following JavaScript file will generate.
Javascript
( function () { var number; number = 12; if (number % 2 === 0) { console.log( "number is even" ); } else { console.log( "number is odd" ); } }).call( this ); |
Output:
number is even
This is how you can convert CoffeeScript code into JavaScript.
