Learn Coding Basics in JavaScript

- **Line 1:** Displays a prompt box to the user with the message "Enter a word:" The user can enter a word in the input field provided by the prompt box. The entered word is then stored in the variable `word`.

- **Line 4:** The entered word stored in the `word` variable is first split into an array of individual characters using the `split("")` method, which is stored in `characters` variable. The `split("")` method with an empty string as the parameter is used to split each character of the word into separate elements of an array. 

- **Line 7:** The `reverse()` method is called on the array `characters`, which reverses the order of its elements and stores it in `reversedCharacters` variable.

- **Line 10:** Finally, the `join("")` method is used to join the reversed array elements back into a single string. Again, the empty string is used as the parameter to ensure there are no separators between the characters, resulting in a single string representing the reversed word.

- **Line 13:** Uses the `console.log()` function to display the message "Reversed word:" followed by the `reversedWord` variable's value, which contains the reversed word.
