What is the difference between let and const


in JavaScript?
Response: Both let and const are used for declaring variables, but
let variables can be reassigned a new value, while const variables
cannot be reassigned a new value.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


variable declaration in JavaScript. A good response should explain
the differences between let and const and provide examples of
when each keyword should be used.

What is a callback function in JavaScript?


Response: A callback function is a function that is passed as an
argument to another function and is executed after that function
has completed its operation.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


callback functions in JavaScript. A good response should explain
what a callback function is and provide examples of how it is used
in JavaScript programming.

What is the difference between "null" and


"undefined" values in JavaScript?
Response: Null is a value that represents the intentional absence
of any object value, while undefined is a value that represents the
absence of a value or an uninitialized value.

3

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


null and undefined values in JavaScript. A good response should
explain the differences between these two values and provide
examples of when each value should be used.

What is event bubbling in JavaScript?


Response: Event bubbling is the process by which an event
propagates from the target element to its parent elements in the
DOM tree.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


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

What is a closure function in JavaScript?


Response: A closure function 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


closure functions in JavaScript. A good response should explain
what a closure function is and provide examples of how it works
in JavaScript programming.

4

What is the difference between "call" and


"apply" methods in JavaScript?
Response: Both call and apply are methods used to call a function
with a specified object as the this value, but call takes a
comma-separated list of arguments, while apply takes an array of
arguments.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


call and apply methods in JavaScript. A good response should
explain the differences between these two methods and provide
examples of when each method should be used.

What is a promise in JavaScript?


Response: A promise is an object that represents the eventual
completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and allows
handling the result asynchronously.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


promises in JavaScript. A good response should explain what a
promise is and provide examples of how it works in JavaScript
programming.

What is the difference between a synchronous


and asynchronous JavaScript code execution?
Response: Synchronous code execution is the traditional way of
running code where one operation has to finish before the next
operation can begin. Asynchronous code execution is a newer way

5

of running code where multiple operations can run at the same


time.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


synchronous and asynchronous code execution in JavaScript. A
good response should explain the differences between these two
styles of code execution and provide examples of when each style
should be used.

What is the difference between the "let" and


"var" keywords?
Response: Both let and var are used for declaring variables, but
let is block-scoped, while var is function-scoped.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


variable scoping in JavaScript. A good response should explain
the differences between let and var and provide examples of
when each keyword should be used.

What are some of the common design


patterns used in JavaScript, and why are they
useful?
Response: Some common design patterns used in JavaScript
include the module pattern, the singleton pattern, and the
observer pattern. These patterns are useful because they provide
developers with reusable, modular code that can be easily
maintained and extended.

6

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's knowledge of


common design patterns in JavaScript and their practical
applications. A good response should provide examples of how
these patterns can be used to create more efficient and
maintainable code, and explain why they are useful for JavaScript
developers.

What is the difference between a for loop and


a forEach loop in JavaScript?
Response: A for loop is a traditional loop that uses a counter
variable to iterate over a collection of values. A forEach loop is a
higher-order function that iterates over an array and executes a
callback function for each element.

Explanation: This question tests the candidate's understanding of


loop constructs in JavaScript. A good response should explain the
differences between for and forEach loops and provide examples
of when each loop should be used.
