Eventually you'll need HTML, but I'm sure you can study most of JS without it. Just use prompt when you need input and console.log when you need output. And when you get to the point, where you manipulate HTML from JS, you can learn these bits as you go.

Javascript can be used for both programming and web development . If you want to learn programming you don't need to learn HTML but if you want to learn web development you have to learn HTML first so You should decide what you want to learn.

It's OK but it's not recommended since you'll be manipulating (mostly) HTML code

I just checked your profile, don't try to learn more than one language at the same time. It will make you very confused. You will end up asking question like him : https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/1566003/?ref=app For SoloLearn JavaScript course, the focus is interaction with HTML DOM elements, so you will need to study HTML and then CSS and then JavaScript. Their relationship is explained here : What to learn next by Bono https://code.sololearn.com/Wukw9beaMo55/?ref=app If you insist in studying JavaScript without HTML knowledge, you need pure JavaScript tutorials, such as this series by 「HAPPYTOHELP」 https://code.sololearn.com/WL8P7nb3aq6L/?ref=app Last but not least, HTML itself can be fun, in the HTML course, there is a blog project template, I highly suggest you to use it, and keep upgrading it along your learning, like them: https://code.sololearn.com/WS1l4514JQAx/?ref=app

Why not learn both in parallel? Some do that if it's not too confusing for you.

I wouldn’t, but you could do about half the html course.

No, you must learn html and css first, before understand how javascript can update the html elements.

If you don't like beautiful things then yes otherwise no, there is a lot to learn before jumping in JavaScript.

It's your choice, but I'll start with HTML since it's the structure of a web page. Then CSS, which describes how HTML elements should be displayed, then I'll learn JavaScript. But if you want to learn JavaScript, go and do it if you want! 👍👍👍

Why must you leave these <articles> in the HTML5? Its against the code! But, seriously i think its important to take the time and just do it. Just for personal growth. It sucks sometimes but, you might like it. Hope you do !
