This course will guide you through JavaScript programming essentials by leveraging your existing Python knowledge. It highlights the similarities and differences between JavaScript and Python and covers program structure, built-in data types, variables, operators, arithmetic expressions, user-defined functions, and libraries.

You’ll dive into OOP concepts on classes and objects, control flow statements, and collections (arrays, lists, maps) alongside loops. You’ll also explore commonly used libraries in JavaScript. In the culminating project, you’ll apply your skills by developing a classic Rock Paper Scissors game where one player is the computer. 

After completing the course, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of JavaScript, enabling you to transition smoothly from Python while building robust, real-world applications.

JavaScript for Python Programmers

# What have we got?

We have the breakdown of the game, so let’s go through the first thing we saw in the game. When the game starts, it introduces the game and lists the rules. 

# What’s next?

Let’s create a function that prints the welcome message and game rules.

- Define a function named `displayInstructions()`.
- Print all the rules of the game within this function.

# Try it yourself

Write your code in the code widget below and click the “Run” button to execute your code. 

**Sample output**

```txt
Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors.

The rules are simple: 
1. Rock beats scissors 
2. Scissors beats paper 
3. Paper beats rock
```
