History of JavaScript
JavaScript was created
by Brendan Eich in
1995 during his time at
Netscape
Communications.
It was initially named
as Mocha
JavaScript was
conceived of as a
scripting language for

A named function has a name
when it is defined. It can be
defined using function
keyword as :
A

10 Can you assign an anonymous function to a variable and
pass it as an argument to another function?
Yes! An anonymous function can be assigned to a variable and also pass it as an
argument to another function
A

11 What is argument objects in JavaScript & how to get the type of

JavaScript variable arguments
are the arguments passed to
a function.
A
It can be passed using Typeof operator:

12 What are the scopes of a variable in JavaScript?
The scope of a variable is the region of your program in which it is defined.
JavaScript variable will have only two scopes.
• Global Variable- It is visible everywhere in your JavaScript code.
• Local Variable- It will be visible only within a function where it is defined.
A

13 What is the purpose of ‘This’ operator in JavaScript ?
The famous JavaScript keyword ‘this’ refers to the current context.
A

14 What is Callback?
A callback is a plain JavaScript function passed to some method as an argument
or option. Some callbacks are events that are called to give the user a chance to
react when a certain state is triggered.
A

15 What is Closure? Give an example
Closures are created whenever a
variable that is defined outside the
current scope is accessed from within
some inner scope.
A
EXAMPLE:

17 What are the variable naming conventions in JavaScript?
Rules to Follow while naming variables in JavaScript:
Do not use any of the JavaScript reserved keyword as variable
name.
01
JavaScript variable names should not start with a numeral (0-9).02
JavaScript variable names are case sensitive.03
A

18 How does TypeOf Operator work?
The typeof is a unary operator that is placed before its single
operand, which can be of any type. Its value is a string indicating the
data type of the operand.
A

19 How to create a cookie using JavaScript?
The simplest way to create a cookie is to assign a string value to the
document.cookie object.
A
SYNTAX

20 How to read a cookie using JavaScript?
➢ Reading a cookie is just as simple as writing one, because the value of the
document.cookie object is the cookie.
➢ The document.cookie string will keep a list of name = value pairs
separated by semicolons.
➢ You can use strings' split() function to break the string into key and
values.
A

21 How to delete a cookie using JavaScript?
If you want to delete a cookie so that subsequent attempts to read the
cookie return nothing, you just need to set the expiration date to a time in
the past.
A

22 What is the difference between Attributes and Property?
Attributes provide more
details on an element
like id, type, value etc.
Property is the value
assigned to the property
like type="text",
value='Name' etc.
PropertyAttributes

23 List out the different ways an HTML element can be accessed in a
Javascript code.
getElementById('idname')
getElementsByClass(‘classname')
getElementsByTagName(‘tagname')
querySelector()

24 In how many ways a JavaScript code can be involved in an HTML file?
Inline01
Internal02
External03
The JavaScript code can be involved in 3 ways:
A

25 What are the ways to define a variable in JavaScript?
The three possible ways of defining a variable in JavaScript are:
A
01 02 03Var Const let

26 What is a Typed language?
Typed Language is in which the values are associated with values
and not with variables. There are two types:
• Dynamically - The variable can hold multiple types.
• Statically - The variable can hold only one type.
A

27 What is the difference between Local storage & Session storage?
Local Storage will stay until it is manually cleared through settings
or program.
Whereas Session Storage will leave when the browser is closed.
A

28 What is the difference between the operators ‘==‘ & ‘===‘?
The operator '==' compares the value. Whereas, the operator
'===' compares both value and type.
A

29 What is the difference between null & undefined?
When the typeof operator is used on null, the value is an object.
Whereas, when it is used on undefined, the value would be
undefined.
A

30 What is the difference between undeclared & undefined?
Undeclared variables are those that do not exist in a program and
are not declared. Undefined variables are those that are declared
in the program but have not been given any value.
A

31 Name some of the JavaScript Frameworks
There are many JavaScript Frameworks available but some of the most
commonly used frameworks are:
A

32 What is the difference between window & document in JavaScript?
Window
JavaScript window is a global
object which holds variables,
functions, history, location.
Document
The document also comes under
the window and can be
considered as the property of
the window.

33 What is the difference between innerHTML & innerText?
innerHTML
innerHTML will process an HTML
tag if found in a string
innerText
innerText will not process an
HTML tag if found in a string

34 What is an event bubbling in JavaScript?
When an event is fired on an HTML element, the execution
starts from that event and goes to its parent element. Then
the execution passes to its parent element and so on till
the body element.
A

35 What is NaN in JavaScript?
NaN is a short form of Not a Number. When a string or
something else is being converted into a number and that
cannot be done, then we get to see NaN.
A

36 How do JavaScript primitive/object types passed in functions?
Primitive types in JavaScript are passed by value.
Whereas, object types are passed by reference.
A

37 How can you convert the string of any base to integer in JavaScript?
The parseInt() function is used to convert numbers between different bases. It
takes the string to be converted as its first parameter, and the second parameter
is the base of the given string.
A

38 What would be the result of 2+5+“3"?
Since 2 and 5 are integers, they will be added numerically. And since 3 is a string,
its concatenation will be done. So the result would be 73
A

39 What are Exports & Imports?
Imports and exports help us to write modular javascript code. Using Imports and
exports we can split our code into multiple files.
A

40 What is the ‘Strict’ mode in JavaScript and how can it be enabled?
• Strict mode is a way to introduce better error-checking into your code.
• When you use strict mode, you cannot use implicitly declared variables, or
assign a value to a read-only property, or add a property to an object that is
not extensible.
• You can enable strict mode by adding “use strict”; at the beginning of a file, a
program, or a function.
A

41 What is a prompt box in JavaScript?
A prompt box is a box which allows the user to enter input by providing a
text box. Label and box will be provided to enter the text or number.
A

42 What Will Be The Output Of The Code Below?
The output would be 1undefined. The if
condition statement evaluates using
eval, so eval(function f(){}) returns
function f(){} (which is true).
A

43 What is the difference between Call & Apply?
The call() method calls a
function with a given this value
and arguments provided
individually.
The apply() method calls a
function with a given this value,
and arguments provided as an
array.

44 How to empty an Array in JavaScript?
Method 1 Method 2
Method 3 Method 4
The code above will clear
the existing array by
setting its length to 0.
The implementation
above can also empty
arrays but it is not
recommended
Above code will set
the variable arrayList
to a new empty array
This way of emptying
the array will update
all the references to
the original array.

45 What Will Be The Output Of The Following Code?
The output would be 0. The delete
operator is used to delete properties
from an object.
A

The output would be undefined. The
delete operator is used to delete the
property of an object.
A

The output would be xyz. Here,
emp1 object has company as its
prototype property.
A

48 What Will Be The Output Of The Code Below?
The output would be Reference
Error. A function definition can have
only one reference variable as its
function name.
A

49 What is the reason for wrapping the entire content of a JavaScript source file
in a function book?
It creates a closure around the entire contents of the file which, perhaps most
importantly, creates a private namespace and thereby helps avoid potential name
clashes between different JavaScript modules and libraries.
A

50 What are escape characters in JavaScript?
Escape characters (Backslash) is
used when working with special
characters like single quotes,
double quotes, apostrophes and
ampersands. Place backslash
before the characters to make it
display.
