JavaScript interview questions and answers
« on: March 26, 2009, 02:12:28 PM »
1-What’s relationship between JavaScript and ECMAScript?
  ECMAScript is yet another name for JavaScript (other names include LiveScript). The current JavaScript that you see supported in browsers is ECMAScript revision 3.
2- What are JavaScript types?
 Number, String, Boolean, Function, Object, Null, Undefined.
3- How do you convert numbers between different bases in JavaScript?
 Use the parseInt() function, that takes a string as the first parameter, and the base as a second parameter. So to convert hexadecimal 3F to decimal, use parseInt ("3F", 16);
4- What does isNaN function do?
 Return true if the argument is not a number.
5 - What is negative infinity?
 It’s a number in JavaScript, derived by dividing negative number by zero.
6- What boolean operators does JavaScript support?
  &&, || and !
7- What does "1"+2+4 evaluate to?  
 Since 1 is a string, everything is a string, so the result is 124.
8- How about 2+5+"8"?
 Since 2 and 5 are integers, this is number arithmetic, since 8 is a string, it’s concatenation, so 78 is the result.
9- What looping structures are there in JavaScript?
 for, while, do-while loops, but no foreach.
10- How do you create a new object in JavaScript?
 var obj = new Object(); or var obj = {};
11- How do you assign object properties?
 obj["age"] = 17 or obj.age = 17.
12- What’s a way to append a value to an array?
 arr[arr.length] = value;
13- What is this keyword?
 It refers to the current object.
