1. What happens when you try to divide a number by 0 in JavaScript?
- If we divide with positive number by zero then it will return infinity.
- If we divide with zero by zero it will returns undefined.
- If we divide with negative number by zero then it will returns -infinity.
2. What is the difference between a traditional for loop and "for each" loop in JavaScript?
- The for loop that will use three optional expressions to implement the repeated execution of a code block.
Syntax
for (initialexpression; condition; updateexpression) {
// for loop body
}
- initialExpression : it declares variables and executes only once.
- condition : it checks the condition, if the condition is false then loop will terminate and the condition is true then block of code inside of the for loop is executed.
- updateexpression : updates the value of initialexpression when the condition is true.
Example
const n = 3;
for (let i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
console.log(`I love JavaScript.`);
}
# output: I love JavaScript.
I love JavaScript.
I love JavaScript.
- The forEach() method calls a function (a callback function) for each element in an array.It doesn't execute for an empty array.
Syntax
array.forEach(function(currentValue, index, arr), thisValue)
- currentValue : It takes the current value of element.
- index : It takes the index of current value of element.
- arr : The array of current element.
- thisValue : It takes defaultly undefined.A value passed to the function as its this value.
Example
let students = ['John', 'Sara', 'Jack'];
students.forEach(myFunction);
function myFunction(item, index, arr) {
arr[index] = 'Hello ' + item;
}
console.log(students);
# output: ["Hello John", "Hello Sara", "Hello Jack"]
3. What is the difference between Null and undefined in JavaScript?
- null is a special value that represents an empty or unknown value.
Example
var test1 = null;
console.log(test1);
# output: null
- Undefined means a variable has been declared, but the value of that variable has not yet been defined.
Example
var test2;
console.log(test2);
# output : undefined
4. How to activate the strict mode and what is its use in JavaScript?
- Strict mode is declared by adding "use strict"; to the beginning of a script or a function.
Advantages
- Strict mode eliminates JavaScript silent errors by changing them to throw errors.
- Fixes mistake that make it difficult for JavaScript engine to perform better.
- Make code run faster than identical code that's not in strict mode.
5. What happens when you don't have a return statement in a function in JavaScript?
- The function will automatically returns undefined.
6. What is the UNIQUE constraint in SQL and how is it different from PRIMARY KEY?
- UNIQUE constraint checks for all the values in a column or set of columns are different or not.
- Both the UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints provide a permission for uniqueness for a column or set of columns.
- A PRIMARY KEY constraint automatically has a UNIQUE constraint.
- You can have many UNIQUE constraints per table, but only one PRIMARY KEY constraint per table.
7. What is the difference between PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY?
- Primary key:
- A primary key is used to ensure that data in the specific column is unique. A column cannot have NULL values.
- Only one primary key is allowed in a table.
- It does not allow NULL values.
2.Foreign key:
- A foreign key is a column or group of columns in a relational database table that provides a link between data in two tables.
- Whereas more than one foreign key are allowed in a table.
- It contains NULL values.
8. What is the unshift() method in JavaScript?
- It adds one or more elements in beginning of the array and returns the new array as output.
Example
const array1 = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(array1.unshift(4, 5));
// Expected output: 5
console.log(array1);
// Expected output: Array [4, 5, 1, 2, 3]
9. In JavaScript string methods, what is the difference between charAt() and charCodeAt(), and what will happen if no arguments are provided with these methods?
- charAt() method returns the character at the specified index.
Syntax
string.charAt(index)
Example
let text = "HELLO WORLD";
let letter = text.charAt(text.length-1);
#output: D
- charCodeAt() returns Unicode value of the character at the specified Index.
Syntax
string.charCodeAt(index)
Example
let text = "HELLO WORLD";
let code = text.charCodeAt(0);
#output: 72
- If we don't pass any argument, then it will return the character and Unicode value of first character in the string respectively.
10. What is the difference between slice() and splice() in JavaScript?
- slice() : This method is used to get a new array by selecting a sub-array of a given array.
Syntax
string.slice(start, end)
Example
let text = "Hello world!";
let result = text.slice(3, 8);
#output: lo wo
- splice() : This method is used to add/remove an item from the given array.
Syntax
splice(start, deleteCount, item1, item2, itemN)
#start is the index from where you want to modify the array
#deleteCount is an optional parameter and refers to the number of elements to remove.
Example
let fruits = ['mango', 'banana, 'apple', 'kiwi', 'orange']
fruits.splice(2)
#output: ['apple', 'kiwi', 'orange']
11. How do we ensure any package updates for any older dependencies get reflected in the package.json file?
- No, It won't reflect on the package.json file when we update the npm version.It remains the same version in the dependencies.
12. How is atomicity achieved in a relational database?
- The entire transaction takes place at once or doesn’t happen at all.
13. What is the difference between the "for-each" loop and map method in JavaScript?
- The map() method returns a new array, whereas the forEach() method does not return a new array.
- The map() method is used to transform the elements of an array, whereas the forEach() method is used to loop through the elements of an array.
- The map() method can be used with other array methods, such as the filter() method, whereas the forEach() method cannot be used with other array methods.
