JavaScript event (e)
Hi,
I am trying to figure out what event (e) means.
The event the I mostly use in functions , idk if can be used anywhere else. Ex: function(e) {}.
I know only a bit about it but I don;t necessary know when to use it, I kinda guess it right now.
I tried to look only but I can find video and article only for event listener.
Can you give me a good article about it if there is any?
