New code:
<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
        <script>
            function displaydate()  
            {
                document.getElementById("test").innerHTML='first line changed';
                document.getElementById("test1").innerHTML='second line changed';
                var x = 5;
                alert("Value of x=" + x);
                var cars=new Array();
                cars[0]='car';
                cars[1]='Volvo';
                alert("Value of arrary 1 var=' + cars[0]);
                //alert("Value of arrary 2 var='+cars[1]);
            }
        </script>
        <p id="test">this is the 1st line</p>
        <p id="test1">this is the 2nd line</p>
        <button type="button" onclick="displaydate()">clickme!</button>
    <body>
</html>
                alert("Value of x" + x);
JavaScript is a dynamic language. The conversion is done automatically for you. When you do something like "var x = string + int"
Update
The reason your alert is failing now is because you start the alert with a double quotation mark and end the string piece of the alert with a single quote.
