JavaScript? 6

What is the purpose of the "use strict"


directive in JavaScript?
Response: The "use strict" directive is used to enable strict mode
in JavaScript, which enforces stricter parsing and error handling
rules.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


strict mode in JavaScript. A good response should explain what
strict mode is and provide examples of how it affects JavaScript
programming.

What is event delegation in JavaScript?


Response: Event delegation is a technique in JavaScript where an
event listener is added to a parent element to listen for events
that occur on its child elements.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


event handling in JavaScript. A good response should explain
what event delegation is and provide examples of how it is used
in JavaScript programming.

What is the difference between the "==" and


"===" operators in JavaScript?
Response: The "==" operator performs type coercion and
compares two values for equality, while the "===" operator
compares two values for equality without type coercion.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


comparison operators in JavaScript. A good response should
explain the differences between "==" and "===" and provide
examples of when each operator should be used.

What is closure in JavaScript?


Response: Closure is a function that has access to its outer
function's variables, even after the outer function has returned.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


closures in JavaScript. A good response should explain how
closures work and provide examples of when they are used in
JavaScript programming.

What is the difference between a for loop and


a for...in loop in JavaScript?
Response: A for loop is used to iterate over an array or a
specified number of times, while a for...in loop is used to iterate
over the properties of an object.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


loop structures in JavaScript. A good response should explain the

differences between for and for...in loops and provide examples of


when each loop should be used.

What is the difference between let and var in


JavaScript?
Response: The let keyword was introduced in ES6 and is used to
declare block-scoped variables, while the var keyword declares
variables that are function-scoped.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


variable declaration in JavaScript. A good response should explain
the differences between let and var and provide examples of
when to use each keyword.

What is hoisting in JavaScript?


Response: Hoisting is a JavaScript behavior where variable and
function declarations are moved to the top of their respective
scopes during compilation, allowing them to be accessed before
they are declared.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


variable and function declaration in JavaScript. A good response
should explain what hoisting is and provide examples of how it
can affect JavaScript programming.

5

What is closure in JavaScript?


Response: A closure is a function that has access to variables in
its outer (enclosing) function scope, even after the outer function
has returned.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


closures in JavaScript. A good response should explain what a
closure is and provide examples of how it is used in JavaScript
programming.

What is the difference between synchronous


and asynchronous JavaScript code?
Response: Synchronous JavaScript code executes one line of code
at a time, blocking other code from running until it has
completed, while asynchronous JavaScript code can run multiple
lines of code at the same time, allowing other code to run in the
meantime.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


synchronous and asynchronous programming in JavaScript. A
good response should explain the differences between
synchronous and asynchronous code and provide examples of
when each programming model should be used.

6

What is the difference between null and


undefined in JavaScript?
Response: Undefined is a value that is assigned to a variable that
has not been initialized, while null is an explicitly assigned value
that represents the absence of any object value.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


null and undefined values in JavaScript. A good response should
explain the differences between null and undefined and provide
examples of when to use each value.
