Canvas coding: contains java elements?

<html> <head></head> <body> <canvas id="canvas1" width="400" height="300"></canvas> <script> var can = document.getElementById("canvas1"); var ctx = can.getContext("2d"); </script> </body> </html> Is the var section part of java? Doesn't ring a bell in the HTML part of my brain. 😕

Msizi inside the script tag is "javascript" its getting the canvas element from the html document you need javascript to draw on the canvas 😉👍

No, this is the JavaScript code but don't confuse with Java because the 2 program languages is different.

Okay you lot. Thank you. Sorry I wrote java instead of JavaScript. An honest mistake. Your responses, nonetheless, have made my day. It's a pity I didn't get such feedback from my Python-related questions.
