What do you mean by strict
mode in javascript and
characteristics of javascript
strict-mode?
In ECMAScript 5, a new feature called JavaScript Strict Mode allows
you to write code or a function in a "strict" operational environment.
When it comes to throwing errors, javascript is often 'not extremely
severe'. However, in "Strict mode," all errors, even silent faults, will
result in a throw. Debugging hence becomes more easier. Thus, the
chance of a coder committing a mistake is decreased.
Characteristics of strict mode in javascript:
Duplicate arguments are not allowed by developers.
Use of javascript’s keyword as a parameter or function name is
not allowed.
The 'use strict' keyword is used to define strict mode at the start of
the script. Strict mode is supported by all browsers.
Creating of global variables is not allowed.

Explain prototype chaining
Prototype chaining is used to build new types of objects based on
existing ones. It is similar to inheritance in a class based language. The
prototype on object instance is available through
Object.getPrototypeOf(object) or __proto__ property whereas
prototype on constructors function is available through
Object.prototype
__proto__ __proto__ __proto__
Employee Person Object.prototype Null
What are generators and what
are its different kinds?
Introduced in the ES6 version, generator functions are a special class of
functions. They can be stopped midway and then continue from where
they had stopped. Generator functions are declared with the function*
keyword instead of the normal function keyword.
There are five kinds of generators,
Generator function declaration
Generator function expressions
Generator method definitions in object literals
Generator method definitions in class
Generator as a computed property

Difference between
Debouncing and Throttling.
Debouncing Throttling
Debouncing waits for a certain time before
An error has occurred in the eval() function
invoking the function again.
Ensures that the function is called only
An error has occurred with a number "out of
once, even if the event is triggered multiple
range”.
times.
Useful when you want to delay the
invocation of a function until a certain An error due to an illegal reference
period of inactivity has passed.
Eg. You can debounce an async API
request function that is called every time An error due to syntax
the user types in an input field.
Syntax:function debounce(func, delay{ let Syntax: function throttle(callback, delay =
timerId; return function () { 1000) {
const context = this; const args = let shouldWait = false; return (...args) => {
arguments; if (shouldWait) return;
clearTimeout(timerId); timerId = callback(...args);
setTimeout(function () { shouldWait = true;
func.apply(context, args); setTimeout(() => {
}, delay);
};
4 shouldWait = false; }, delay);
};
} }
