alert(name);
or:
we can use the old way:

names[1] = "Ashish";
names[2] = "Nikhil";
b) This is the second way:
Hide Copy Code
var names = new Array("Vikas", "Ashish", "Nikhil");
12) If an array with name as "names" contain three elements, then how will you print the third element of this array?

13) How do you submit a form using JavaScript?

14) What does isNaN function do?
Ans: It returns true if the argument is not a number.
Example:
Code
Hide Copy Code
document.write(isNaN("Hello")+ "<br>");
document.write(isNaN("2013/06/23")+ "<br>");
document.write(isNaN(123)+ "<br>");
The output will be:
Hide Copy Code
true
true
false
15) What is the use of Math Object in JavaScript?
Ans: The math object provides you properties and methods for mathematical constants and functions.
ex:-
Code
Hide Copy Code
var x = Math.PI; // Returns PI
var y = Math.sqrt(16); // Returns the square root of 16
var z = Math.sin(90); Returns the sine of 90
16) What do you understand by this keyword in JavaScript?
Ans: In JavaScript the this is a context-pointer and not an object pointer. It gives you the top-most context that is placed on the stack. The following gives two
different results (in the browser, where by-default the window object is the 0-level context):
Hide Copy Code
var obj = { outerWidth : 20 };
function say() {
alert(this.outerWidth);
}
say();//will alert window.outerWidth
say.apply(obj);//will alert obj.outerWidth
17) What does "1"+2+4 evaluate to?
Ans: Since 1 is a string, everything is a string, so the result is 124.
18) What does 3+4+"7" evaluate to?
Ans: Since 3 and 4 are integers, this is number arithmetic, since 7 is a string, it is concatenation, so 77 is the result.
19) How do you change the style/class on any element using JavaScript?
Ans:
Code
Hide Copy Code
document.getElementById("myText").style.fontSize = "10";

21) What looping structures are there in JavaScript?
Ans: for, while, do-while loops
22) What is an object in JavaScript, give an example?
Ans: An object is just a container for a collection of named values:
// Create the man object
Code
Hide Copy Code
var man = new Object();
man.name = 'Vikas Ahlawat';
man.living = true;
man.age = 27;
23) How you will add function as a property in a JavaScript object? Give an example.
Ans:
Code
Hide Copy Code
var man = new Object();
man.name = 'Vikas Ahlawat';
man.living = true;
man.age = 27;
man.getName = function() { return man.name;}
console.log(man.getName()); // Logs 'Vikas Ahlawat'.
24) What is the similarity between the 1st and 2nd statement?
1st:- var myString = new String('male'); // An object.
2nd:- var myStringLiteral = 'male'; // Primitive string value, not an object.
Ans: Both will call String() constructor function
You can confirm it by running the following statement:
Hide Copy Code
console.log(myString.constructor, myStringLiteral.constructor);
25) What will be the output of the following statements?
Code
Hide Copy Code
var myString = 'Vikas' // Create a primitive string object.
var myStringCopy = myString; // Copy its value into a new variable.
var myString = null; // Manipulate the value
console.log(myString, myStringCopy);
Ans: // Logs 'null Vikas'
26) Consider the following statements and tell what would be the output of the logs statements?
Hide Copy Code
var price1 = 10;
var price2 = 10;
var price3 = new Number('10'); // A complex numeric object because new was used.
console.log(price1 === price2);
console.log(price1 === price3);
Ans:
Hide Copy Code
console.log(price1 === price2); // Logs true.
console.log(price1 === price3); /* Logs false because price3
contains a complex number object and price 1
is a primitive value. */

27) What would be the output of the following statements?
Hide Copy Code
var object1 = { same: 'same' };
var object2 = { same: 'same' };
console.log(object1 === object2);
Ans: // Logs false, JavaScript does not care that they are identical and of the same object type.
When comparing complex objects, they are equal only when they reference the same object (i.e., have the same address). Two variables containing identical objects are
not equal to each other since they do not actually point at the same object.
28) What would be the output of the following statements?
Code
Hide Copy Code
var object1 = { same: 'same' };
var object2 = object1;
console.log(object1 === object2);
Ans: // Logs true
29) What is this?

var myArray = [[[]]];
Ans: Three dimensional array
30) Name any two JavaScript functions which are used to convert nonnumeric values into numbers?
Ans:
Hide Copy Code
Number()

parseFloat()
Code
Hide Copy Code
var n1 = Number("Hello world!"); //NaN
var n2 = Number(""); //0
var n3 = Number("000010"); //10
var n4 = Number(true); //1
var n5 = Number(NaN); //NaN
31) Does JavaScript Support automatic type conversion, If yes give example.
Ans: Yes! Javascript support automatic type conversion. You should take advantage of it, It is most common way of type conversion used by Javascript developers.
Ex.
Hide Copy Code
var s = '5';
var a = s*1;
var b = +s;
typeof(s); //"string"
typeof(a); //"number"
typeof(b); //"number"
