  1. tell me what is a value, a type and a variable. And the differences between those 3 concepts
  2. what does it mean that JavaScript is loosely typed?
  3. what is the difference between let, const and var variable declarations?

Day 2 – Module 1

  1. explain me the concept of this in JS
  2. describe me in your words what is scope
  3. do you think enabling strict mode is important? Why?

Day 3 – Module 1 & 2

  1. why do we need to stop the propagation of events?
  2. what is the main difference between primitive types and objects?
  3. how can we join two or more strings? provide me a code sample.

Day 4 – Module 2

  1. can we change the value of a string?
  2. can you explain why we can’t precisely make a simple operation like adding 0.1 and 0.2? Can you make a small, working example of how would you retrieve 0.3 by adding 0.1 and 0.2?
  3. what is a key feature of template literals that makes us prefer them over quotes when we define a string?

Day 5 – Module 2

  1. what is a symbol?
  2. what is undefined?
  3. what is the difference between null and undefined?

Day 6 – Module 2

  1. is there any difference between an object defined using the object literal syntax, and one created using the Object() constructor?
  2. in which different ways can we access the value of a property of an object?
  3. how is a method different than a function? Send me a sample method, and a sample function.

Day 7 – Module 2

  1. how can you convert the number 2 to a string? Show me a code sample.
  2. how can you convert the string ‘2’ to a number? Show me a code sample.
  3. how can you tell what type a value is?

Day 8 – Module 3

  1. write me the code needed to call the bark() function if the dogIsHungry variable is true, and the sleep() function if it’s false
  2. in a switch statement, why do we need to add a break or a return at the end of each switch case?
  3. what are the ways we can break out of a for loop?

Day 9 – Module 3

  1. tell me all the different ways to create a loop in JavaScript. Send me some sample loops examples.
  2. explain in your own words how can “immediately invoked function expressions” help when it comes to using the loop index inside a function, inside the loop. Why do we have to wrap them in an additional function?

Day 10 – Module 4

  1. why do we have multiple ways to define functions?
  2. how are arrow functions different than regular functions?
  3. object destructuring allows to have a nice way to extract prarameter passed as object properties. Can you write a run() function that takes an object as parameter, with the distance and destination properties, and print them in a console.log()? When I call run() I want you to print the string “I ran for until I got to “.

Day 11 – Module 4

  1. Functions return only one value. Which ways do we have to simulate retruning multiple values from a function?
  2. The event loop is crucial to understanding how JavaScript works. Read the lesson on the event loop and then try to explain to me how it works
  3. What would happen if we don’t return anything from a recursive function? Can we even have a recursive function if we don’t return a value?

Day 12 – Module 4

  1. can you explain to me what hoisting is?
  2. what is the difference between let/const and var declarations in regards to hoisting?

Day 13 – Module 4

  1. what is a closure?

Day 14 – Module 4

  1. what is the difference between call() and apply()
  2. how can we achieve encapsulation in JavaScript?

Day 15 – Modules 5 & 6

  1. tell me the various ways you can use to initialize an object
  2. how can you set a property of an object? And how can you get its value?
  3. what is a method? What’s the difference between a method and a function?
