What is a Popup Alert?

A popup alert is a message box that appears on the user's screen to provide information or warnings.

How to Use the alert() Method:

To display a popup alert, use the alert() method:

  1. Inside a JavaScript function, type alert().
  2. Within the parentheses, specify the text you want to display in the alert.
  3. Call the function that contains the alert() method to trigger the popup.

Example:

function displayAlert() {
  alert("Hello, world!");
}

displayAlert(); // Displays "Hello, world!" in a popup alert
