Front End FAQS – Part 1

 

                                                                                                       HTML

1.       What is HTML?

Answer :HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a markup language used to create and structure content for the web. HTML code consists of a series of tags that define different elements, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, and more. HTML is the backbone of the web and is used in conjunction with CSS and JavaScript to create dynamic and interactive web pages.

 2.       What is the latest version of HTML?

Answer :The latest version of HTML is HTML5.

 3.       What are the basic tags in HTML?

Answer :

<html>: This tag indicates the start of an HTML document.

<head>: This tag contains meta information about the document, such as the page title and links to CSS files.

<title>: This tag specifies the title of the document, which appears in the browser tab.

<body>: This tag contains the visible content of the document.

<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, <h6>: These tags specify headings of different levels.

<p>: This tag specifies a paragraph of text.

<a>: This tag creates a hyperlink to another page or website.

<img>: This tag embeds an image in the document.

 4.       What is the difference between HTML and XHTML?

Answer : HTML and XHTML are both markup languages used for creating web pages. The main difference between the two is that XHTML is stricter in its syntax and requires well-formed XML code, while HTML is more lenient and allows for more flexible syntax. XHTML also requires closing tags for all elements, while in HTML some tags can be left unclosed. However, in practice, HTML and XHTML are very similar, and most modern web browsers treat both as interchangeable.

 5.       What is a DOCTYPE declaration in HTML?

Answer :A DOCTYPE declaration is a statement at the beginning of an HTML document that specifies which version of HTML or XHTML the document is written in. The DOCTYPE declaration tells the web browser which rules to follow when rendering the page, such as which tags are allowed and how they should be interpreted. For example, the DOCTYPE declaration for HTML5 is:

 

<!DOCTYPE html>

 6.       What is semantic HTML?

Answer : Semantic HTML is a practice of using HTML tags to convey the meaning and structure of the content, rather than just its appearance. Semantic HTML helps search engines and assistive technologies understand the content of the web page better, and makes the code more readable and maintainable. For example, instead of using a <div> tag to create a block of content, it is better to use a semantic tag such as <article>, <section>, or <aside>, depending on the purpose of the content.

 Example code for semantic HTML:

<section>

  <h2>What is Semantic HTML?</h2>

  <p>Semantic HTML is the practice of using HTML tags to convey the meaning and structure of the content.</p>

</section> 

7.       What is an HTML element?

Answer : An HTML element is a basic building block of an HTML document. An element is defined by a start tag, content, and an end tag, and may also have attributes that provide additional information about the element. Examples of HTML elements include headings (<h1>, <h2>, etc.), paragraphs (<p>), images (<img>), links (<a>), tables (<table>), and more.

 Example code for an HTML element:

<h1>This is a heading</h1>

 

 8.       What is the difference between an HTML element and an HTML attribute?

Answer : An HTML attribute, on the other hand, is a modifier that provides additional information about an element. Attributes are used to customize the behavior or appearance of an element, such as setting the color of text or specifying the target of a link.

 Example code for an HTML attribute:

<a href="https://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>

 In this example, the <a> element is used to create a hyperlink to Google, and the "href" and "target" attributes are used to specify the URL and target of the link.

 9.       What is the difference between an HTML tag and an HTML attribute?

Answer : An HTML tag is a code that is used to define an HTML element, while an HTML attribute is a code that is used to provide additional information about an HTML element. Tags are used to define the structure and content of the document, while attributes are used to modify the behavior or appearance of an element.

 Example code for an HTML tag and attribute:

<img src="example.jpg" alt="Example Image">

In this example, the <img> tag is used to embed an image in the document, and the "src" and "alt" attributes are used to specify the source URL of the image and provide alternative text for users who cannot see the image.

 10.   What is the difference between an ordered list and an unordered list in HTML?

Answer : An ordered list is a list of items where each item is numbered, while an unordered list is a list of items where each item is marked with a bullet point or other marker. The <ol> tag is used to create an ordered list, and the <ul> tag is used to create an unordered list.

 Example code for an ordered list and an unordered list:

 

<ol>

  <li>Item 1</li>

  <li>Item 2</li>

  <li>Item 3</li>

</ol>

<ul>

  <li>Item 1</li>

  <li>Item 2</li>

  <li>Item 3</li>

</ul> 

11.   What is a form in HTML?

Answer : A form is an HTML element that is used to collect data from the user. Forms can contain various types of input elements, such as text boxes, radio buttons, checkboxes, and more. When the user submits the form, the data is sent to a server for processing. Forms are commonly used in web applications for user registration, login, and data entry.

 Example code for a form:

                                     <form action="/submit" method="post">

  <label for="username">Username:</label>

  <input type="text" id="username" name="username"><br><br>

<label for="password">Password:</label>

<input type="password" id="password" name="password"><br><br>

 

  <input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

In this example, the <form> element is used to create a form, and the "action" and "method" attributes are used to specify where the data should be sent and how it should be sent. The form contains two input elements for the username and password, and a submit button to submit the form. When the user clicks the submit button, the data is sent to the server via a POST request.

 12.   What is an HTML entity?

Answer : An HTML entity is a special code that is used to represent a character that has a special meaning in HTML, such as <, >, &, ", and '. Entities are used to ensure that the special characters are displayed properly in the browser, even if they are part of the content of the web page.

 Example code for an HTML entity:

<Hello> & “world”

 In this example, the < and > entities are used to represent the < and > characters, while the & entity is used to represent the & character. The “ entity is used to represent the " character. When rendered in a browser, the code above will display as:

                             <Hello> & "world"

 13.   What is the difference between a <div> and a <span> element in HTML?

Answer : The <div> element is used to group block-level elements together, while the <span> element is used to group inline elements together. Block-level elements take up the entire width of their container and create a new line after themselves, while inline elements only take up as much width as necessary and do not create a new line.

 Example code for a <div> and a <span> element:

<div>

  <h1>Hello</h1>

  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</div>

<span>

  <b>This is bold text.</b>

  <i>This is italic text.</i>

</span>

In this example, the <div> element is used to group the <h1> and <p> elements together, while the <span> element is used to group the <b> and <i> elements together. When rendered in a browser, the code above will display as:

                                     Hello

This is a paragraph.

 This is bold text. This is italic text.

 

                                                                                                  CSS

 14.   What is CSS?

Answer : CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language that is used to define the presentation of a web page. CSS is used to style HTML elements, such as changing the font size, color, background, and layout of the content.

 Example code for using CSS to style a web page:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

  <style>

    h1 {

      color: blue;

      text-align: center;

    }

    p {

      font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

      font-size: 16px;

    }

    .highlight {

      background-color: yellow;

    }

  </style>

</head>

<body>

  <h1>My Web Page</h1>

  <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>

  <p class="highlight">This paragraph has a yellow background.</p>

</body>

</html>

In this example, CSS is used to style the <h1> and <p> elements. The color and text alignment of the <h1> element are changed using the "color" and "text-align" properties, while the font family and size of the <p> element are changed using the "font-family" and "font-size" properties. The <p> element with the "highlight" class is given a yellow background using the ".highlight" selector and the "background-color" property.

 15.   What is the difference between padding and margin in CSS?

Answer : Padding is the space between the content of an element and its border, while margin is the space between the border of an element and the adjacent elements. Padding is used to add space inside an element, while margin is used to add space outside an element.

 Example code for using padding and margin in CSS:

 

div {

width: 200px;

height: 100px;

border: 1px solid black;

padding: 20px;

margin: 50px;

}

 

In this example, a <div> element is styled with a width and height of 200px and 100px, a black border of 1px, 20px of padding, and 50px of margin. When rendered in a browser, the <div> element will be displayed with a total width of 340px (200px for the width, 20px of padding on each side, and 50px of margin on each side).

 16.   What is the box model in CSS?

Answer : The box model in CSS is a way of representing the layout of an element on a web page. It consists of four layers: content, padding, border, and margin. The content layer is where the text or images of an element are displayed. The padding layer is the space between the content and the border. The border layer is a line that surrounds the content and padding. The margin layer is the space between the border and the adjacent elements.

 Example code for the box model in CSS:

div {

width: 200px;

height: 100px;

padding: 20px;

border: 1px solid black;

margin: 50px;

}

In this example, a <div> element is styled with a width and height of 200px and 100px, respectively, 20px of padding, a black border of 1px, and 50px of margin. When rendered in a browser, the <div> element will be displayed with a total width of 340px (200px for the width, 20px of padding on each side, a 1px border on each side, and 50px of margin on each side).

 

                                                                       Bootstrap

 17.   What is Bootstrap?

Answer : Bootstrap is a popular front-end framework that is used to build responsive and mobile-first web pages. Bootstrap provides a set of CSS and JavaScript files that contain pre-built styles and components, such as buttons, forms, and navigation menus, that can be easily added to a web page.

 Example code for using Bootstrap:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">

  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.16.0/umd/popper.min.js"></script>

  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

</head>

<body>

<div class="container">

  <h1>My Web Page</h1>

  <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>

  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Click me</button>

</div>

</body>

</html>

In this example, Bootstrap is used to style the web page with a container class, a heading element, a paragraph element, and a button element. The button element is styled with the "btn" and "btn-primary" classes to give it a blue color and a rounded border. When rendered in a browser, the code above will display as: 

My Web Page

This is a paragraph of text.

Click me

 

                                                                  JavaScript

 18.   What is JavaScript?

Answer : JavaScript is a programming language that is used to create dynamic and interactive web pages. JavaScript can be used to add functionality to a web page, such as creating animations, validating forms, and handling user input.

 Example code for using JavaScript to create an alert box:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<button onclick="alert('Hello World!')">Click me</button>

 

</body>

</html>

In this example, JavaScript is used to create an alert box that pops up when the button is clicked. The onclick event handler is used to execute the alert function when the button is clicked. When rendered in a browser, the code above will display a button that says "Click me". When the button is clicked, an alert box will pop up with the message "Hello World!".

 19.   What is an event in JavaScript?

Answer : An event in JavaScript is an action or occurrence that takes place on a web page, such as a user clicking a button, scrolling the page, or submitting a form. JavaScript can be used to respond to events by executing code in response to the event.

 Example code for using JavaScript to respond to a button click event:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>

 

<script>

function myFunction() {

  alert("Hello World!");

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

In this example, JavaScript is used to create a function called "myFunction" that displays an alert box when called. The function is then called in response to the onclick event of the button element. When rendered in a browser, the code above will display a button that says "Click me". When the button is clicked, an alert box will pop up with the message "Hello World!".

 20.   What is the DOM in JavaScript?

Answer : The DOM (Document Object Model) in JavaScript is a representation of a web page as a hierarchical tree of objects. Each object in the tree represents an element on the web page, such as a paragraph, a button, or an image. JavaScript can be used to access and manipulate the properties and content of these objects, allowing for dynamic and interactive web pages.

 Example code for using JavaScript to manipulate the DOM:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<p id="demo">This is a paragraph of text.</p>

<script>

var x = document.getElementById("demo");

x.style.color = "red";

x.innerHTML = "Hello World!";

</script>

</body>

</html>

In this example, JavaScript is used to access a <p> element on the web page with the id "demo". The color style property of the element is then changed to red, and the content of the element is changed to "Hello World!" using the innerHTML property. When rendered in a browser, the code above will display a paragraph of text that says, "Hello World!" in red font.

 21.   What is AJAX in JavaScript?

Answer : AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) in JavaScript is a technique for making asynchronous requests to a web server from a web page, without requiring the page to reload. AJAX can be used to retrieve data from a server, update a portion of a web page, or submit data to a server.

 Example code for using AJAX in JavaScript:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<div id="demo">

<button type="button" onclick="loadDoc()">Click me</button>

</div>

<script>

function loadDoc() {

  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {

    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {

      document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = this.responseText;

    }

  };

  xhttp.open("GET", "ajax_info.txt", true);

  xhttp.send();

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

In this example, JavaScript is used to create a function called "loadDoc" that makes an AJAX request to retrieve data from a text file called "ajax_info.txt". When the response is received from the server, the content of the <div> element with the id "demo" is updated with the response using the innerHTML property. When rendered in a browser, the code above will display a button that says "Click me". When the button is clicked, the content of the <div> element will be replaced with the content of the "ajax_info.txt" file.

 22.   What is a callback function in JavaScript?

Answer : A callback function in JavaScript is a function that is passed as an argument to another function and is called by that function. Callback functions can be used to create asynchronous code, handle events, and pass data between functions.

Example code for using a callback function in JavaScript:

function multiply(a, b, callback) {

var result = a * b;

callback(result);

}

 

function displayResult(result) {

console.log("The result is: " + result);

}

 

multiply(5, 10, displayResult);

In this example, JavaScript is used to create two functions: "multiply" and "displayResult". The "multiply" function takes two numbers and a callback function as arguments, multiplies the numbers together, and then calls the callback function with the result as an argument. The "displayResult" function is used as the callback function, and simply logs the result to the console. When the "multiply" function is called with the arguments 5, 10, and "displayResult", the "displayResult" function is called with the result of 50 as an argument, and logs "The result is: 50" to the console.

 23.   What is a closure in JavaScript?

Answer : A closure in JavaScript is a function that has access to variables in its outer (enclosing) function, even after the outer function has returned. Closures can be used to create private variables and functions, and to create functions with state.

Example code for using a closure in JavaScript:

function counter() {

var count = 0;

function increment() {

count++;

console.log(count);

}

return increment;

}

 

var myCounter = counter();

myCounter(); // logs 1

myCounter(); // logs 2

myCounter(); // logs 3

 In this example, JavaScript is used to create a function called "counter" that returns a function called "increment". The "increment" function has access to the "count" variable in the outer "counter" function, even after the "counter" function has returned. When the "myCounter" variable is assigned to the result of calling "counter", it is set to the "increment" function. When "myCounter" is called three times, the "count. variable is incremented each time and the current count is logged to the console. The output of this code would be:

1

2

3

 24.   What is a Promise in JavaScript?

Answer : A Promise in JavaScript is an object that represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value. Promises provide a way to handle asynchronous code that is more readable and maintainable than traditional callback functions.

Example code for using a Promise in JavaScript:

function getData() {

return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

var data = fetchDataFromServer();

if (data) {

resolve(data);

} else {

reject("Failed to fetch data.");

}

});

}

 

getData()

.then(function(data) {

console.log("Data received:", data);

})

.catch(function(error) {

console.log("Error occurred:", error);

});

In this example, JavaScript is used to create a function called "getData" that returns a Promise object. Inside the Promise, an asynchronous operation is performed to fetch data from a server, and if the operation is successful, the Promise is resolved with the data. If the operation fails, the Promise is rejected with an error message. The Promise is then used with the "then" and "catch" methods to handle the resolved value or the rejected error, respectively.

 What is an Event ?

Answer : An event in JavaScript is an action or occurrence that happens in the browser, such as a user clicking a button, a page finishing loading, or a timer running out. JavaScript can be used to respond to events by attaching event listeners to elements on a web page.

Example code for using an event in JavaScript:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<button onclick="displayMessage()">Click me</button>

 

<script>

function displayMessage() {

  alert("Button clicked!");

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

In this example, JavaScript is used to create a function called "displayMessage" that displays an alert when called. The function is attached to a button element on a web page using the "onclick" attribute. When the button is clicked, the "displayMessage" function is called and the alert is displayed.

 25.   What is event bubbling and capturing in JavaScript?

Answer : Event bubbling and capturing in JavaScript are two mechanisms for handling events that occur on nested HTML elements. Event bubbling is the default behavior in which the event is first captured by the innermost element and then propagated up through its ancestors. Event capturing is the opposite behavior, where the event is captured first by the outermost element and then propagated down through its descendants.

 Example code for using event bubbling and capturing in JavaScript:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

<div id="outer" style="padding: 20px; background-color: red;">

  <div id="inner" style="padding: 20px; background-color: green;">

    <button id="button" style="padding: 20px; background-color: blue;">Click me</button>

  </div>

</div>

<script>

document.getElementById("outer").addEventListener("click", function() {

  console.log("Outer clicked.");

}, true);

 

document.getElementById("inner").addEventListener("click", function() {

  console.log("Inner clicked.");

}, true);

 

document.getElementById("button").addEventListener("click", function() {

  console.log("Button clicked.");

}, true);

</script>

</body>

</html>

In this example, JavaScript is used to attach event listeners to three elements on a web page: an outer <div> element with a red background, an inner <div> element with a green background, and a button element with a blue background. The event listeners use the "addEventListener" method and have a third parameter set to "true", which enables event capturing.

If the button is clicked, the output of this code would be:

Button clicked.

Inner clicked.

Outer clicked.

 Because the event starts at the button and is captured first by the outer <div>, then by the inner <div>, and finally by the button itself. If event bubbling was used instead, the order of the output would be reversed.

 26.   What is the difference between "==" and "===" in JavaScript?

Answer : In JavaScript, "==" and "===" are both comparison operators that can be used to check if two values are equal. However, "==" is a loose equality comparison operator that allows type coercion, while "===" is a strict equality comparison operator that does not allow type coercion.

 Example code for using "==" and "===" in JavaScript:

 

console.log(5 == "5"); // true

console.log(5 === "5"); // false

In this example, the "==" operator is used to compare the number 5 to the string "5". Because JavaScript performs type coercion when using "==", the two values are considered equal and the output is "true". However, when using the "===" operator, the two values are not equal because they have different types, and the output is "false".

27.   What is a closure in JavaScript?

A closure in JavaScript is a function that has access to variables in its outer (enclosing) scope, even after the outer function has returned. Closures are a powerful feature of JavaScript that can be used to create private variables and methods, as well as to implement functional programming concepts such as currying and partial application.

Example code for using a closure in JavaScript:

function makeCounter() {

var count = 0;

return function() {

count++;

console.log(count);

};

}

 

var counter = makeCounter();

counter(); // 1

counter(); // 2

counter(); // 3

 

In this example, JavaScript is used to create a function called "makeCounter" that returns another function. The returned function has access to the "count" variable in the outer function's scope and increments it each time it is called. The "makeCounter" function is called to create a new counter function, which is then called three times to log the values 1, 2, and 3 to the console.

28.   What is the "this" keyword in JavaScript?

Answer : The "this" keyword in JavaScript refers to the object that the current code is executing in. The value of "this" is determined dynamically at runtime, based on how the function is called.

Example code for using the "this" keyword in JavaScript:

var person = {

firstName: "John",

lastName: "Doe",

fullName: function() {

console.log(this.firstName + " " + this.lastName);

}

};

person.fullName(); // John Doe

 

In this example, JavaScript is used to create an object called "person" with three properties: "firstName", "lastName", and "fullName". The "fullName" property is a function that logs the person's full name to the console, using the "this" keyword to refer to the "person" object. When the "fullName" function is called using the dot notation on the "person" object, the output is "John Doe".

29.   What is a callback function in JavaScript?

Answer : A callback function in JavaScript is a function that is passed as an argument to another function, and is called by that function when a specific event or condition occurs. Callback functions are a common way to handle asynchronous code and to implement event-driven programming.

Example code for using a callback function in JavaScript:

function getData(callback) {

var data = fetchDataFromServer();

callback(data);

}

 

function displayData(data) {

console.log

("Data retrieved:", data);

}

 

getData(displayData);

In this example, JavaScript is used to create a function called "getData" that takes a callback function as an argument. Inside the "getData" function, data is retrieved from a server using the "fetchDataFromServer" function. Once the data is retrieved, the callback function is called with the data as an argument. A second function called "displayData" is defined to log the data to the console. The "getData" function is called with the "displayData" function as the callback, and when the data is retrieved, the "displayData" function is called to log the data to the console.

30.   What is an immediately invoked function expression (IIFE) in JavaScript?

Answer : An immediately invoked function expression (IIFE) in JavaScript is a function that is defined and executed at the same time. IIFEs are commonly used to create private scopes and to avoid naming conflicts with other code.

Example code for using an IIFE in JavaScript:

(function() {

var privateVariable = "Hello World";

console.log(privateVariable);

})();

 

In this example, JavaScript is used to define an anonymous function that is immediately executed using parentheses. Inside the function, a variable called "privateVariable" is defined and logged to the console. Because the function is immediately executed, the variable is not accessible outside of the function's scope.

31.   What is the "use strict" directive in JavaScript?

Answer : The "use strict" directive in JavaScript is a statement that enables strict mode, which is a way to enforce stricter parsing and error handling rules in JavaScript code. When strict mode is enabled, certain code constructs are disallowed or produce errors that would otherwise be ignored.

Example code for using the "use strict" directive in JavaScript:

"use strict";

 

function myFunction() {

x = 10;

console.log(x);

}

 

myFunction();

 In this example, the "use strict" directive is used to enable strict mode. A function called "myFunction" is defined that assigns a value to a variable called "x" without declaring it with the "var", "let", or "const" keyword. In strict mode, this produces an error, which is logged to the console.

 32.   What is the difference between "var", "let", and "const" in JavaScript?

Answer : In JavaScript, "var", "let", and "const" are all keywords used to declare variables. However, they have different scoping rules and behaviors:

 "var" variables are function-scoped and can be redeclared and reassigned.

"let" variables are block-scoped and can be reassigned, but not redeclared in the same block.

"const" variables are block-scoped and cannot be reassigned or redeclared.

Example code for using "var", "let", and "const" in JavaScript:

 

function myFunction() {

var x = 1;

let y = 2;

const z = 3;

 

if (true) {

var x = 4;

let y = 5;

const z = 6;

console.log(x, y, z);

}

 

console.log(x, y, z);

}

 

myFunction();

 

In this example, JavaScript is used to define a function called "myFunction" that declares variables using "var", "let", and "const". Inside the function, an if statement is used to declare new variables with the same names. Because "var" variables are function-scoped, the first console.log statement outputs 4, 5, and 6. However, because "let" and "const" variables are block-scoped, the second console.log statement outputs 1, 2, and 3.

 33.   What is hoisting in JavaScript?

Answer : Hoisting in JavaScript is the behavior where variable and function declarations are moved to the top of their respective scopes during compilation, regardless of where they are actually declared in the code. This allows variables and functions to be used before they are declared.

 Example code for hoisting in JavaScript:

 

console.log(x);

 

var x = 10;

 

In this example, a variable called "x" is logged to the console before it is declared. However, because of hoisting, the variable is still defined and initialized to undefined at the beginning of the scope.

 34.   What is a closure in JavaScript?

A closure in JavaScript is a function that has access to its parent function's variables and parameters, even after the parent function has returned. Closures are often used to create private variables and methods in JavaScript.

 Example code for closures in JavaScript:

 

function outerFunction() {

var x = 1;

 

function innerFunction() {

console.log(x);

}

 

return innerFunction;

}

 

var myFunction = outerFunction();

myFunction();

 

In this example, a function called "outerFunction" is defined that declares a variable called "x" and defines a nested function called "innerFunction" that logs the value of "x" to the console. The outer function then returns the inner function, which is assigned to a variable called "myFunction". When "myFunction" is called, it still has access to the "x" variable from the outer function, even though the outer function has already returned.

 35.   What is event bubbling in JavaScript?

Answer : Event bubbling in JavaScript is the behavior where events that are triggered on nested elements "bubble up" to their parent elements, triggering any event listeners that are attached to those elements as well.

 Example code for event bubbling in JavaScript:

 

<div id="parent">

  <div id="child">

    <button id="button">Click me!</button>

  </div>

</div>

In this example, HTML code is used to define a parent element with an id of "parent", a child element with an id of "child", and a button element with an id of "button". If an event listener is attached to the "parent" element and the button is clicked, the event will bubble up to the parent element and trigger the event listener.

 36.   What is event delegation in JavaScript?

Answer : Event delegation in JavaScript is the practice of attaching a single event listener to a parent element instead of attaching multiple event listeners to its child elements. This can improve performance and reduce code complexity, especially for dynamic or complex web applications.

Example code for event delegation in JavaScript:

<div id="parent">

  <ul>

    <li>Item 1</li>

    <li>Item 2</li>

    <li>Item 3</li>

  </ul>

</div>

In this example, HTML code is used to define a parent element with an id of "parent" and a list of child elements. Instead of attaching event listeners

to each list item, a single event listener can be attached to the parent element to handle click events on any of the list items:

 

var parent = document.getElementById("parent");

 

parent.addEventListener("click", function(event) {

if (event.target.tagName === "LI") {

console.log(event.target.innerHTML);

}

});

 In this JavaScript code, an event listener is attached to the "parent" element using the "addEventListener" method. When a click event is triggered on any child element, the event bubbles up to the parent element and the event listener is called. The event object can be inspected to determine which child element was clicked, and its contents can be logged to the console.

 37.   What is a promise in JavaScript?

Answer : A promise in JavaScript is an object that represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation, and allows for more readable and maintainable asynchronous code. Promises can be in one of three states: pending, fulfilled, or rejected.

 Example code for promises in JavaScript:

 

function fetchData() {

return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

fetch("https://example.com/data.json")

.then(function(response) {

if (response.ok) {

resolve(response.json());

} else {

reject(new Error("Failed to fetch data"));

}

})

.catch(function(error) {

reject(error);

});

});

}

 In this example, a function called "fetchData" returns a new promise that wraps an asynchronous fetch request to a JSON data file. If the fetch request is successful, the promise is fulfilled with the parsed JSON data. If the fetch request fails, the promise is rejected with an error.

 38.   What is a callback function in JavaScript?

Answer : A callback function in JavaScript is a function that is passed as an argument to another function and is executed at a later time, usually after some asynchronous operation has completed.

 Example code for callback functions in JavaScript:

 

function fetchData(callback) {

fetch("https://example.com/data.json")

.then(function(response) {

if (response.ok) {

return response.json();

} else {

throw new Error("Failed to fetch data");

}

})

.then(function(data) {

callback(data);

})

.catch(function(error) {

console.log(error);

});

}

 

In this example, a function called "fetchData" takes a callback function as an argument, and asynchronously fetches data from a JSON file using the fetch API. If the fetch is successful, the parsed JSON data is passed to the callback function for further processing.

 39.   What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous code in JavaScript?

Answer : In synchronous code in JavaScript, each line of code is executed one after the other, in order, and the program blocks (or waits) at any point where there is an expensive operation or function call. In asynchronous code, expensive operations and function calls are executed in the background, and the program continues to execute other code while it waits for them to complete.

 Example code for synchronous and asynchronous code in JavaScript:

// synchronous code

var result = fetch("https://example.com/data.json");

console.log(result);

 // asynchronous code

fetch("https://example.com/data.json")

.then(function(response) {

console.log(response);

});

 In this example, the synchronous code logs the result of a fetch request to the console, but because fetch returns a promise that is not yet resolved, the program blocks (or waits) until the promise is fulfilled. In contrast, the asynchronous code logs the response of the same fetch request to the console, but because the fetch is performed asynchronously using a promise and a callback function, the program does not block and continues executing the next line of code while waiting for the fetch to complete.

 40.   What is the difference between var, let, and const in JavaScript?

 Answer : In JavaScript, var, let, and const are used to declare variables. However, they have different scoping rules and behaviors.

 var: Variables declared with var are function-scoped, meaning they are accessible within the function in which they are declared, as well as any nested functions. If a var variable is declared outside of a function, it is globally scoped and accessible throughout the entire program.

Example code using var in JavaScript:

function exampleFunction() {

var x = 1;

if (true) {

var x = 2;

console.log(x); // outputs 2

}

console.log(x); // outputs 2

}

 let: Variables declared with let are block-scoped, meaning they are accessible only within the block in which they are declared (including nested blocks).

Example code using let in JavaScript:

function exampleFunction() {

let x = 1;

if (true) {

let x = 2;

console.log(x); // outputs 2

}

console.log(x); // outputs 1

}

 const: Variables declared with const are also block-scoped, but they cannot be reassigned a new value after they are initialized. However, the value of a const variable can still be mutable if it is an object or array.

Example code using const in JavaScript:

const PI = 3.14;

PI = 3.14159; // this will throw an error

const myObj = { name: "John" };

myObj.name = "Jane"; // this is allowed

 In this example, PI is a constant variable with a value of 3.14, which cannot be changed. However, myObj is a constant variable that holds an object, and while the variable itself cannot be reassigned, the properties of the object can be mutated.

 41.   What is event delegation in JavaScript?

Answer : In JavaScript, event delegation is a pattern where instead of attaching an event handler to each individual element that needs to respond to a particular event, a single event handler is attached to a parent element that contains all of the child elements. When the event is triggered on a child element, the event bubbles up to the parent element and is handled by the single event handler.

 Example code demonstrating event delegation in JavaScript:

 HTML:

<ul id="list">

  <li>Item 1</li>

  <li>Item 2</li>

  <li>Item 3</li>

</ul>

JavaScript:

document.getElementById("list").addEventListener("click", function(event) {

if (event.target.nodeName === "LI") {

console.log("Clicked item: " + event.target.innerText);

}

});

 In this example, the click event is attached to the parent ul element, and the event handler checks if the event target is an li element before logging the clicked item to the console. This allows for new li elements to be added or removed from the list dynamically without needing to attach or detach event handlers for each individual element.

 42.   What is the difference between the document object and the window object in JavaScript?

Answer : In JavaScript, the document object represents the HTML document that is currently displayed in the browser window, while the window object represents the browser window itself.

 Some differences between the two objects include:

 The document object has properties and methods for accessing and manipulating the contents of the document, such as document.getElementById() and document.createElement(). The window object has properties and methods for controlling the browser window, such as window.open() and window.alert().

The document object is part of the DOM (Document Object Model), which represents the structure and content of the HTML document as a tree of objects. The window object is not part of the DOM.

The document object is created and loaded when the HTML document is parsed and rendered by the browser. The window object is created when the browser window is opened.

 Example code demonstrating accessing properties and methods of the document and window objects in JavaScript:

 HTML:

 <!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

  <title>Document and Window Objects Example</title>

</head>

<body>

  <h1>Hello, world!</h1>

  <script>

    // Access properties and methods of the document object

    var title = document.title;

    console.log(title); // outputs "Document and Window Objects Example"

 var body = document.body;

console.log(body); // outputs <body> element

 var newHeading = document.createElement("h2");

newHeading.textContent = "Welcome!";

document.body.appendChild(newHeading);

 // Access properties and methods of the window object

var width = window.innerWidth;

console.log(width); // outputs width of browser window in pixels

 var location = window.location;

console.log(location); // outputs URL of current page

 window.alert("Hello, world!"); // displays alert dialog with message

  </script>

</body>

</html>

43.   What is AJAX in JavaScript?

Answer : In JavaScript, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technique for making HTTP requests to a server and receiving data in the background without needing to refresh the entire page. This allows for dynamic and interactive web applications that can update their content without interrupting the user's experience.

 Example code demonstrating making an AJAX request in JavaScript:

 HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

  <title>AJAX Example</title>

</head>

<body>

  <div id="output"></div>

  <button id="button">Get Data</button>

  <script>

    var button = document.getElementById("button");

    var output = document.getElementById("output");

                                         button.addEventListener("click", function() {

  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

  xhr.open("GET", "data.json");

  xhr.onload = function() {

    if (xhr.status === 200) {

      output.textContent = xhr.responseText;

    }

  };

  xhr.send();

});

  </script>

</body>

</html>

In this example, clicking the "Get Data" button triggers an AJAX request to the server to retrieve data from a file called data.json. When the response is received, the contents of the file are displayed in the output div element without needing to refresh the entire page.

 44.   What is a callback function in JavaScript?

Answer : In JavaScript, a callback function is a function that is passed as an argument to another function and is executed when a certain event occurs or a certain condition is met. Callback functions are commonly used in asynchronous programming, where the order of execution is not predetermined and depends on external factors such as network latency or user input.

 Example code demonstrating a callback function in JavaScript:

 function fetchData(callback) {

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.open("GET", "data.json");

xhr.onload = function() {

if (xhr.status === 200) {

var data = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);

callback(data);

}

};

xhr.send();

}


 function displayData(data) {

console.log(data);

}

 

fetchData(displayData);

 In this example, the fetchData function accepts a callback function as an argument and retrieves data from a file called data.json. When the data is successfully retrieved, it is passed as an argument to the callback function, which logs it to the console. The displayData function is used as the callback function when fetchData is called.
