Javascript Interview Questions

JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language primarily used for interactive web pages, differing from Java in being dynamically typed and using prototype-based inheritance. It has eight main data types, including primitive types like String and Number, and a non-primitive type, Object. JavaScript is executed line by line by an interpreter, making it suitable for automating tasks in web development.

A: JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted programming language mainly used for creating interactive

web pages. It can run in web browsers and on servers using platforms like Node.js.

Differences between JavaScript and Java:

- JavaScript is an interpreted scripting language; Java is a compiled programming language.

- JavaScript is dynamically typed; Java is statically typed.

- JavaScript uses prototype-based inheritance; Java uses class-based inheritance.

- JavaScript is mainly used for web development; Java is used in enterprise applications, Android

development, etc.

Q: What is meant by high-level, interpreted, and scripting language?

A: - High-level: Easy to read and write, closer to human language.

- Interpreted: Code is executed line by line by an interpreter, without needing compilation.

- Scripting: Automates tasks or controls other software; commonly used in web development.

Q: Explain the different data types in JavaScript.

A: JavaScript has 8 main data types:

Primitive Types:

- String: Text (e.g., "Hello")

- Number: Numeric values (e.g., 42, 3.14)

- BigInt: Large integers (e.g., 123n)

- Boolean: true or false

- Undefined: A variable declared but not assigned a value

- Null: An intentionally empty value


- Symbol: Unique and immutable identifier

Non-Primitive Type:

- Object: A collection of properties (e.g., { name: "John" })

- Includes arrays, functions, and more

You can check a variable's type using `typeof`.
