Add hands-on templates for all 33 JavaScript concepts

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR adds interactive learning templates for each of the 33 fundamental JavaScript concepts covered in this repository. Previously, the repository served as a curated list of articles and videos. Now, it provides hands-on templates that users can immediately start coding with.

What's New

📁 Templates Directory (templates/)

Created 33 JavaScript template files (one for each concept) that users can use to:

• Learn concepts through working code examples
• Practice with structured exercises
• Avoid common pitfalls
• Follow best practices

Concepts 1-6 include fully detailed implementations:

• 01-call-stack.js - Understanding function execution and the call stack
• 02-primitive-types.js - All 7 JavaScript primitive types with examples
• 03-value-reference-types.js - Value vs reference types, shallow/deep copying
• 04-type-coercion.js - Implicit/explicit coercion, duck typing
• 05-equality-comparison.js - == vs === vs typeof with special cases
• 06-scope.js - Function, block, and lexical scope with closures

Concepts 7-33 provide structured starter templates with consistent formatting, ready for users to explore.

📖 Documentation

templates/README.md - Comprehensive guide including:

• Three ways to use templates (copy, run directly, or import)

Template Structure

Each template follows a consistent format:

/**
 * CONCEPT TITLE AND DESCRIPTION
 */

// EXAMPLES - Multiple working examples
// PRACTICE EXERCISES - Hands-on coding challenges with TODOs
// COMMON PITFALLS - What to avoid and why
// BEST PRACTICES - Recommended approaches
// NOTES - Key takeaways

Use Cases

Perfect for:

• Beginners learning JavaScript fundamentals from scratch
• Developers wanting to practice or refresh specific concepts
• Interview prep - hands-on practice with core JavaScript topics
• Teachers looking for structured learning materials with exercises

Usage Example

# Clone and navigate
cd 33-js-concepts/templates
