1. How to write a commment in Javascript?

ans) Writing a comment in Javascript is crucial for code readability and


documentation.Comments provide context and explanations for your code,making it
easier for you and other developers to understand and maintain it. In Javascript,
there are two primary ways to write comments:single-line comments and multi-line
comments.

Single-line commments start with"//"and extend to the end of the line.They are used
to add short explanations or notes within the code.For example:

//This is a single-line comment in JavaScript


var x=5; //Assingning the value 5 to the variable x

Multi-line comments starts with"/"and end with"/".They can span across multiple
lines and are often used for longer explanations or for temporarily disabling
code.For example:

/*
This is a multi-line comment in JavaScript.
It can span across multiple lines.
*/

/*This multi-line comment is used to disable a block of code temporarily:


var x=5;
console.log(x);
*/

It's important to note that commments are ignored by the ole interpreter and do
not affect the execution of the code.However,they play a significantstand role in
improving code quality and maintainability.
Here are some best practies for writing comments in JavaScript:

* Be Clear and concise:Write comments that are easy to underpplement and provide
clear explanation of the code's purpose.
* Use Comments Sparingly:Avoid over-commenting your code.Comments should supplement
the code,not duplicate it.
* Use Comments to Explain Complex Logic:If you have complex or non-obvious logic in
your code,use comments to explain it to other developers(and your future self!).
* Comment as You Code:Get into the habit of adding comments as you write your code
rather than trying to add them all later.This ensure that the comments accurately
reflect the code's
intent.
* Upate Comments Regulaly:As you make changes to your code,remember to update the
corresponding comments to keep them accurate and relevant.
* Follow Consistent Style:Choose a commenting style (e.g.,placement)and stions and
stick to it throughout your codebase for consistency.
* Document Function and APls:INclude comments for function declarations and APls to
describe their purpose,parameters,return values,and any side effects.
By following best practices,you can use comments to improve the
reability,maintainability,and overall quality of your Javascript codebase.
Remember,good comments can save you and your fellow a lot of time and headaches in
the long run!

2. How to create a function in Javascript?


ans) Creating a function in JavaScript is essential for organizing code and
executing tasks repeatedly.Function are blocks of code that perform a specific task
and can be reused throughout your program.Here's a comprehensive guide to creating
functions in JavaScript:
* Function Declaration:
function functionName(parameters) {
// code block
}

. 'functionName':Name of the function.


. 'parameters':Inputs the function can accept.

* Function Expression:
const functionName = function(parameters) {
// code block
};

. 'const function':Assigns the function to a variable.

* arror Function:
const functionName = (parameters) => {
// code block
};

. Function without a name,assigned to a variable.

* Function Parameters:
function greet(name) {
console.log('Hello, ${name}!');
}
greet('John');

. 'name'is the parameters.

* Return Statement:
function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
const sum = add(3, 5);
console.log(sum); // Output: 8

. 'return' statement ends the function and sends a value back.

* Default Parameters:
function great(name = 'Guest')
console.log('Hello, ${name}!');
}
great(); // Output: Hello, Guest!

. Default value if no argument is passed.

* Function Invocation:
functionName(arguments);

. Calling the function with specific arguments.

* Nested Functions:
function outerFunction() {
function innerFunction() {
// code block
}
innerFunction();
}
outerFunction();

. Function can be defined within other functions.

* Scope:
. Functions have their own scope.
Variables declared within a function are not accessible from outside.

* Callback Functions:
function doSomething(callback) {
// code block
callback();
}
function greet() {
console.log('Hello!');
}
doSomething(great); //Output: Hello!

. Passing a function as a argument to another function.

* Function Hoisting:
. Function declarations are hoisted to the top of the scope,allowing you to call
function before they are defined.

* Immediately Invoked Function Expressior(IIFE):


(function() {
// code block
})();

. Function that are executed immediately after they are created.

* Method Functions:
. Functions defined as properties of objects are called methods.

const obj = {
method() {
// code block
}
};

*Constructor Functions:
. Used to create objects with their own properties and methods.

function Person(name, age) {


this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
const person1 = new Person('John', 30);

These are the basic concepts and techniques for creating function in JavaScript.

3. What are JavaScript Data Types?


ans) JavaScript is a versatile programming Ianguage that supports several data
types,each serving a specific purpose in storing and manipulating data.
Understanding these data types is fundamental to writing efficient and bug-free
code.Let's explore the various data types in Javascript:

(a) Primitive Data Types:


. Number:Represents numeric values,including integers and floating-point
'numbers' type to represent all numberic values.
. String:Represents a sequence of characters enclosed within single(") or
double("")quotes. Strings are used to store textual data.
. Boolean:Represents a logical value indicating true or false.Boolean values
are often used in conditional statements and logical operations.
. Undefined:Represents a variable that has been declared but not assigned a
value.Variables are automatically assignedthevalue 'underfined'when declared but
not initialized.
. Null:Represents the intentional absence of any value. It is often used to
signify that a variable has no value or to reset a variable.
(b) Composite Data Types:
. Object:Represents a collection of key-value pairs,where keys are strings(or
symbols)and values can be of any data type,including other objects.Objects are used
to represent complex
data structures and are fundamental to JavaScript.
. Array:Represents an ordered collection of elements,where each elements can be
of any data tyoe. Arrays are indexed starting from zero and are commonly used to
store lists of items.
. Function:Represents a reusable block of code that performs a task when
invoked.
. symbol:represent a unique and immutable value that is often used as the key
for object properties.symbols help prevent naming conflicts in objects.
(c) Special Data Types:
. BIgint:Represents integers with arbitrary precision,allowing developers to
work with numbers beyoud the limits of the 'number'type.
. symbol:Represents a unique and immutable value that is often used as the key
for object properties.Symbols help prevent naming conflicts in objects.
Nullish Coalescing Operator(??):A new addition to JavaScript,the nullish
coalescing operator returns its right-hand operand when its left-hand operand is
'null' or 'underfined'.otherwise,it returns the left-hand operand.

Understanding the nuances of each data type is crucial for waiting efficient and
bug-free JavaScript code. By levrraging the appropriate data types and
understanding their behaviours,developers can create robust and maintainable
applications.

4. Difference between"=="and"==="?
ans) The operators"=="and"==="are used for comparison in programming languages,with
each having its own significance depending on the language being used.
In many programming languages,JavaScript,"=="is the equality operator,used to
compare the values of two variables.it checks if the values of two variables. it
checks if the values are equal,regardless of their data types.For example,in
JavaScript,5=="5"would return true because both values are equal in value,even
though one is a number and the other is a string.

On the other hand,"==="is known as the strict equality operator.It not only
compares the values of two variables but also checkes if their data types are the
same.In JavaScript,5==="5" would return false because because even though the
values are equal,their data types are different(number and string).

The distinction between these operators is crucial,especially when dealing with


type-sensitive comparisons or when stict type checking is required.Using"=="can
lead to unexpected behaviour in certain situations,particularly when dealing with
different data types.

For example,consider the following JavaScript code:


let x = 5;
let y = "5";

console,log(x == y); //true


console,log(x == y); //false

In this case,the first comparison(x == y) reture true because the values are equal,
while the second comparison (x===y)returns false bacause the data types are
different.

5. What are all the looping structure/statements in JavaScript?


ans) In JavaScript, looping structures allow you to execute a block of code
repeatedly. There are several looping statements available,each serving a specific
purpose. Here's an overview of the main ones:

(a)for loop: The 'for' loop repeats a block of code a specified number of
limites.It consists of three optional expression:initialization,condition,and
iteration.
for (initialization; condition; iteration) {
// code to be executed
}

(b)while loop:The 'while' loop repeates a block of code while a specified condition
is true.
while (condition) {
// code to be executed
}

(c)do...while loop:Similar to the 'while'loop,but the block of code is executed


once before the condition is tees over the enumersted.
do {
// code to be executed
} while (condition);

(d)for...in loop:Iterable properties of an object.It's commonly used to loop


through the properties of an object.
for (variable in object) {
// code to be executed
}

(e)for...of loop:Introduced in ES6,it iterates over iterable


objects(arrays,strings,maps,sets,etc.) and allows you to access the values
directly.
for (variable of iterable) {
// code to be executed
}

(f)forEach()method:Available for arrays,it executes a provided function once for


each array element.
array.forEach(function(element) {
// code to be executed
});

(g)map()method:Similar to 'forEach()',but it returns a new array based on the


result of the provided function.
var newArray = array.map(function(element) {
return element * 2; //example transformation
});
Each looping structure has its own use case and benefits,allowing developers to
efficiently handle different scenarios in their JavaScript code.

6. What would be the result of 3+2+"7"?


ans) When evaluting the expression 3+2+"7",we need to consider how JavaScript
handles different data types and operator.
JavaScript is adynamically typed language,which means variables can hold
values of any data type.In this expressioan,we have a mixture of numbers and a
string.
The addition operator(+) in JavaScript serves a dual purpose:it can perform
arithmetric addition or concatenate strings. When used with numbers, it performs
addition;when used with strings,it concatenates them.

Let's break down the expression step by step:


(a) 3+2=5
(b) Now we have 5(a number)and "7"(a string). When JavaScript encounters this
situation,it coerces the number into a string and performs string concatenation.
(c) 5+"7"="57"

So,the result of the expression3+2+"7"is"57".

This behavior might seem counterintuitive if you're used to languages with


stricter typing rules,but it's a common feature of dynamically typed language like
JavaScript. It's important to be aware of these nuances to avoid unexpected
behaviour in your code.

Understanding how JavaScript handles different data types and operators is


crucial for writing robust and predictable code. By knowing the rules of type
coercion and operator precedence, you can confidently work with mixed data types
and ensure your code behaves as expected.

7. What do you mean by NULL in JavaScript?


ans) In JavaScript,"NULL"is a primitive value that represents the intentional
absence of any object value.It's one of JavaScript primitive data types,along with
underfined,boolean,number,string,and symbol.

Here are some key points about "NULL"in JAVaScript:

(a) Explicit Assignment:You can explicitly assign the value NULL to a variable to
indicate that it doesn't have a meaningful value.
let foo = NULL;

(b) Type of NULL:The type of operator in JavaScript return "object"for NULL


values,which is a quirk in the language. This is a historical mistake in the
language that cannot be fixed without breaking existing code.
console,log(typeof NULL); //"object"

(c) Equality:NULL is only loosely equal(==)to NULL and undefined.It's not


strictly equal (===)to anything except itself.This means NULL==undefined is
true,but NULL===underfined is false.
console,log(NULL == underfined); // true
console,log(NULl === underfined); //false

(d) Checking for Null:To check if a value is NULL,you can use a strict equality
comparison.
if (variable == NULL) {
// Do something
}

(e) Avoiding Null Pointer Errors:When accessing properties or methods of an


object,it's essential to check if the object is NULL before accessing its
properties to avoid null pointer errors.
if (myObject !== NULL) {
console,log(myObject.property); //Safe to access property
}

In summary,"NULL"in JavaScript represents the intentional absence of any object


value and is explicitiy assigned to variables to indicate this absence.

8. What is the use of a type of operator?


ans) Here's how the type of operator works:
(a) Primitive Types:For primitive data types such as
numbers,strings,booleans,and symbols,type of return a string indicating the
type.For example:
typeof 42; // "number"
typeof "Hello"; //"string"
typeof true; // "boolean"
typeof underfined; // "underfined"

(b) Objects:For objects(including arrays and function),type of return "object".


This can be somewhat limiting because it doesn't differentiate between different
types of objects.
For example:
typeof {}; // "object"
typeof []; // "object"
typeof function(){}; // "function"

(c) null:Interestingly,typeof null reurns"object".This is considered a


historical artifact and is widely regarded as a quirk of JvaScript.
typeof null; // "object"

(d) Other Types:For other types like Biglint and symbols,typeof


returns"bigint"and"symbol"respectively.

The typeof operator is commonly used in conditional statements to perform


different actions based on the type of a variable.For example:
function logType(value) {
if (typeof value === "number") {
console.log("It'sa number!");
} else if (typeof value === "string") {
console.log("It's a string!") {
} else {
console.log("It'something else!");
}
}

logType(42); //Outputs: "It's a number!"


logType("Hello"); //Output: "It's a string!"
logType(true); //Outputs: "It's something else!"

9. What's the fastest way to get elements the DOM?


ans) (a) getElementBylgd():This method allows you to access an element using its
unique ID. It's the fastest method as browers are optimized for this operation.For
example:
var element = document,getElementById('myElement');

(b) querySelector():This method allows you to select elements using CSS


selectors.It return the first matching element.For example:
var element = document,getElementById('.myClass');

(c) querySelectorAII():Similar to query (),but it returns a NodeList of all


matching elements.For example:
var elements = document,querySelectorAII('.myClass');

(d) getElementByClassName():This method returns a live HTML Collection of


elements with the specified class name.It's faster than querySelectorAll()but
returns a live collection.For example:
var elements = document,getElementsByClassName('myClass');

(e) getElementsByTagName:This method returns a live HTMLCollection of elements


with the specified tag name. It's efficient but less versatile than
querySelectorAll().For example:
var elements = document,getElementsByTagName('div');

(f) Traversing the DOM:If you can't directly access an element, you can traverse
the DOM using methods like paraentsNogde,nextSibling, previousSibling,etc.

(g) Data Attributes:You can use data attributes to select elements.This method is
flexible and allows you to select elements based on custom attributed.For example:
var element = document,querySelector('[data-id="123"]');

(h) caching:If you need to access an element multiple times,consider caching it


in a variable to avoid repeatedly traversing the DOM.

10. What boolean operators can be used in JavaScript?


ans) (a) Logical AND(&&):This operator returns true if both operands are
true;otherwise,it return false.For example,'true && true' evaluates to true,while
'true &7 false' evalutes to false.

(b) Logical OR(||):This operator returns true if at least one of the operands
is true; otherwise,it return false.For example,'true || false'evaluates to
true,while'false || false' evalutes to false.

(c) Logical NOT(!):This operator negates the boolean value of its operand.If
the operand is true,it returns true.For example,'!true'evaluates to false,while '!
false'evaluates to true.

(d) Eqality(==):This operator compares two values and returns true if they are
equal,regardless of their data types.For example,'5 == 5'evalutes to true, while
'5'also evalute to true due to type coercion.

(e) Strict Equality(===): this operator compares two values and returns true
if they are equal and of the same data type.For example,'5 == 5'evaluates to false
because they are of different data types.

(f) Inequality(!=)This operator returns true if the operands are not


equal,regardless of their data type coercion.

(g) Strict Inequality(!==):This operator returns true if the operands are not
equal or not of the same data type.For example,'5 !== '5'evalutes to true because
they are of different data types.
