Commonly Asked Coding Problems in JavaScript Interviews

JavaScript is changing every year. There are always new libraries, new frameworks and new things around it. Every year new developers are coming to learn this language and the jobs are increasing so as the interviews.

This post contains some practical and commonly asked coding problems that can be found in any technical interviews. So be not surprised while facing them.

Remove duplicate element from an array

Using Array.filter method, check each element's index is equal to the indexOf value of the array.

Or in ES6 using set:


Reverse a string without native methods

Given a string, print the reverse of the string (ex: javascript becomes tpircsavaj).

Without native methods:

Using recursion:


Find the missing number

Given a unsorted array of numbers 1 to 100 excluding one number, find the missing number.

The sum of a linear series of n numbers is equal to n*(n+1)/2.


Permutations of a string

Get all permutations of a string


Check sum of two

From a unsorted array, check whether there are any two numbers that will sum up to a given number.

Another way of doing, have an object where we will store the difference of sum and element. And then when we get to a new element and if we find the difference is the object, then we have a pair that sums up to the desired sum.


Brackets match

For the given string, determine if the strings of brackets in the input is valid or invalid by these criteria.

"([)]" // false
"()" // true

The solution is
