1) What is JavaScript?

2) What is the difference between JavaScript and Jscript?

3) How do we add JavaScript onto a web page?
Ans:There are several way for adding JavaScript on a web page, but there are two ways which are commonly used by developers
If your script code is very short and only for single page, then following ways are the best:
a) You can place <script type="text/javascript"> tag inside the <head> element.

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
   var name = "Vikas Ahlawta"
   alert(name);
</script>
</head>

b) If your script code is very large, then you can make a JavaScript file and add its path in the following way:

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="myjavascript.js"></script>
</head>

4) Is JavaScript case sensitive?
Ans:Yes!
A function getElementById is not the same as getElementbyID.
5) What are the types used in JavaScript?
Ans:String, Number, Boolean, Function, Object, Null, Undefined.
6) What are the boolean operators supported by JavaScript? And Operator: &&
Or Operator: ||
Not Operator: !
7) What is the difference between “==” and “===”?
Ans:
“==” checks equality only,
“===” checks for equality as well as the type.
8) How to access the value of a textbox using JavaScript?
Ans: ex:-

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
Full name: <input type="text" id="txtFullName" 
name="FirstName" value="Vikas Ahlawat">
</body>
</html>

There are following ways to access the value of the above textbox:

Collapse | Copy Code

var name = document.getElementById('txtFullName').value;

alert(name);

or:
we can use the old way:

Collapse | Copy Code

document.forms[0].mybutton.

var name = document.forms[0].FirstName.value;

alert(name);

Note: This uses the "name" attribute of the element to locate it.
9) What are the ways of making comments in JavaScript?
Ans:

Collapse | Copy Code

// is used for line comments
ex:- var x=10; //comment text

/*
*/  is used for block comments

ex:-

Collapse | Copy Code

var x= 10; /* this is
block comment example.*/

10) How will you get the Checkbox status whether it is checked or not?
Ans:

Collapse | Copy Code

var status = document.getElementById('checkbox1').checked; 
alert(status);

will return true or false.
11) How to create arrays in JavaScript?
Ans:There are two ways to create array in JavaScript like other languages:
a) The first way to create array
Declare Array:

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

var names = new Array(); 
Add Elements in Array:-
names[0] = "Vikas";
names[1] = "Ashish";
names[2] = "Nikhil";

b) This is the second way:

Collapse | Copy Code

var names = new Array("Vikas", "Ashish", "Nikhil");

12) If an array with name as "names" contain three elements, then how will you print the third element of this array?
Ans: Print third array element document.write(names[2]);
Note:- Array index starts with 0.
13) How do you submit a form using JavaScript?
Ans:Use document.forms[0].submit();
14) What does isNaN function do?
Ans: It returns true if the argument is not a number.
Example:

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

document.write(isNaN("Hello")+ "<br>");
document.write(isNaN("2013/06/23")+ "<br>");
document.write(isNaN(123)+ "<br>");

The output will be:

Collapse | Copy Code

true
true
false

15) What is the use of Math Object in JavaScript?
Ans: The math object provides you properties and methods for mathematical constants and functions.
ex:-

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

var x = Math.PI; // Returns PI
var y = Math.sqrt(16); // Returns the square root of 16
var z = Math.sin(90);    Returns the sine of 90

16) What do you understand by this keyword in JavaScript?
Ans: In JavaScript the this is a context-pointer and not an object pointer. It gives you the top-most context that is placed on the stack. The following gives two different results (in the browser, where by-default the window object is the 0-level context):

Collapse | Copy Code

var obj = { outerWidth : 20 };
 
function say() {
    alert(this.outerWidth);
}
 
say();//will alert window.outerWidth
say.apply(obj);//will alert obj.outerWidth

17) What does "1"+2+4 evaluate to?
Ans: Since 1 is a string, everything is a string, so the result is 124.
18) What does 3+4+"7" evaluate to?
Ans: Since 3 and 4 are integers, this is number arithmetic, since 7 is a string, it is concatenation, so 77 is the result.
19) How do you change the style/class on any element using JavaScript?
Ans:

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

document.getElementById(“myText”).style.fontSize = “10";

-or-

Collapse | Copy Code

document.getElementById(“myText”).className = “anyclass”;

20) Does JavaScript support foreach loop?
Ans: JavaScript 1.6(ECMAScript 5th Edition) support foreach loop,
See example here http://jsfiddle.net/gpDWk/

21) What looping structures are there in JavaScript?
Ans: for, while, do-while loops
22) What is an object in JavaScript, give an example?
Ans: An object is just a container for a collection of named values:

// Create the man object

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

var man = new Object();
man.name = 'Vikas Ahlawat';
man.living = true;
man.age = 27;

23) How you will add function as a property in a JavaScript object? Give an example.
Ans:

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

var man = new Object();
man.name = 'Vikas Ahlawat';
man.living = true;
man.age = 27;
man.getName = function() { return man.name;}
console.log(man.getName()); // Logs 'Vikas Ahlawat'.

24) What is the similarity between the 1^st and 2^nd statement?
1st:- var myString = new String('male'); // An object.
2nd:- var myStringLiteral = 'male'; // Primitive string value, not an object.
Ans: Both will call String() constructor function
You can confirm it by running the following statement:

Collapse | Copy Code

console.log(myString.constructor, myStringLiteral.constructor);

25) What will be the output of the following statements?

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

var myString = 'Vikas' // Create a primitive string object.
var myStringCopy = myString; // Copy its value into a new variable.
var myString = null; // Manipulate the value
console.log(myString, myStringCopy);
Ans: // Logs 'null Vikas'

26) Consider the following statements and tell what would be the output of the logs statements?

Collapse | Copy Code

var price1 = 10;
var price2 = 10;
var price3 = new Number('10'); // A complex numeric object because new was used.
console.log(price1 === price2); 
console.log(price1 === price3);

Ans:

Collapse | Copy Code

console.log(price1 === price2); // Logs true.
console.log(price1 === price3); /* Logs false because price3 
contains a complex number object and price 1
is a primitive value. */

27) What would be the output of the following statements?

Collapse | Copy Code

var object1 = { same: 'same' };
var object2 = { same: 'same' };
console.log(object1 === object2);

Ans: // Logs false, JavaScript does not care that they are identical and of the same object type.
When comparing complex objects, they are equal only when they reference the same object (i.e., have the same address). Two variables containing identical objects are not equal to each other since they do not actually point at the same object.
28) What would be the output of the following statements?

Code

Collapse | Copy Code

var object1 = { same: 'same' };
var object2 = object1;
console.log(object1 === object2);

Ans: // Logs true
