Great! You've collected 55 important JavaScript interview questions — I’ll provide clear, beginner-friendly
answers for all of them. Since it’s a long list, I’ll break them into multiple parts so it's easy to read and
learn.
✅ PART 1: JavaScript Interview Q&A (1–10)
1. What is the difference between 'Pass by Value' and 'Pass by Reference'?
Pass by Value: A copy of the value is passed. Changes don’t affect the original. (Used for primitive
types like numbers, strings).
Pass by Reference: A reference (memory address) is passed. Changes affect the original. (Used for
objects & arrays).
2. What is the difference between map() and filter()?
map(): Transforms each item and returns a new array.
filter(): Returns only items that match a condition.
js
let nums = [1, 2, 3];
// map
nums.map(x => x * 2); // [2, 4, 6]
// filter
nums.filter(x => x > 1); // [2, 3]
3. What is the difference between map() and forEach()?
map() returns a new array.
forEach() just executes code for each item, returns undefined.
4. What is the difference between Pure and Impure functions?
Pure Function: Same output for same input, no side effects.
Impure Function: May change global state or give different results.

5. What is the difference between for-in and for-of?
for-in: Loops keys (indexes) in objects/arrays.
for-of: Loops values in iterable items like arrays or strings.
6. What are the differences between call(), apply(), and bind()?
call(): Calls a function with arguments listed.
apply(): Same as call() but uses an array of arguments.
bind(): Returns a new function with bound context.
js
function greet() { console.log(this.name); }
let person = { name: "John" };
greet.call(person); // John
7. List out some key features of ES6 (ECMAScript 2015)?
let and const
Arrow functions () =>
Template literals `Hello ${name}`
Spread/rest operators ...
Promises
Classes
Modules (import/export)
8. What’s the spread operator in JavaScript?
... Spread expands arrays or objects.
js
let arr1 = [1, 2];
let arr2 = [...arr1, 3]; // [1, 2, 3]
9. What is the rest operator in JavaScript?
Gathers remaining items into an array.
js
function sum(...nums) {
return nums.reduce((a, b) => a + b);
}

10. What are DRY, KISS, YAGNI, SOLID Principles?
DRY: Don’t Repeat Yourself
KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid
YAGNI: You Aren’t Gonna Need It

5. Using ES6 class syntax
13. Difference between Object.keys(), Object.values(), and Object.entries()
js
let obj = { a: 1, b: 2 };
Object.keys(obj); // ["a", "b"]
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 3/10
Object.values(obj); // [1, 2]
Object.entries(obj); // [["a", 1], ["b", 2]]

23. Difference between null and undefined
null: Intentional absence of value.

24. What is the output of 3+2+"7"?
"57" → Numbers are added first → then concatenated with string.

✅ PART 4: JavaScript Q&A (31–40)
31. What is a Closure?
A closure is when an inner function remembers and accesses variables from its outer function, even
after the outer function has finished.
js
function outer() {
let count = 0;
return function () {
count++;
console.log(count);
};
}
let counter = outer();
counter(); // 1
32. What are Callbacks in JavaScript?
A callback is a function passed to another function to run after some task is done.
js
function greet(name, callback) {
callback(name);
}
greet("Tulasi", (n) => console.log("Hello " + n));
33. What are Higher-Order Functions?
A function that takes another function as an argument or returns a function.
js
let nums = [1, 2, 3];
nums.map(x => x * 2); // map is higher-order
34. Difference between == and === in JavaScript
== checks only value, allows type conversion
=== checks value and type
js
3 == "3" // true
3 === "3" // false
35. Is JavaScript dynamically typed or statically typed?
JavaScript is dynamically typed, meaning you don’t declare variable types (it changes at runtime).
36. Difference between IndexedDB and SessionStorage
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 7/10
Feature IndexedDB SessionStorage
Storage Size Large (MBs/GBs) Small (5MB approx)
Data Type Structured data Strings only
Persistence Long-term Cleared on tab close
Use Case Offline storage Temporary session
37. What are Interceptors?
Mostly used in libraries like Axios (HTTP requests), interceptors modify requests or responses before
they’re sent/received.
38. What is Hoisting?
JavaScript moves variable and function declarations to the top of their scope before executing.
js
console.log(a); // undefined
var a = 5;
39. Difference between let, var, and const
Keyword Scope Reassignable Hoisted
var function Yes Yes
let block Yes No
const block No No
40. Differences between Promise.all(), allSettled(), any(), and race()
Promise.all() → All must succeed; if one fails, all fail.
Promise.allSettled() → Waits for all to finish (success or fail).
Promise.any() → Returns first success.
Promise.race() → Returns first completed (success or fail).
✅ PART 5: JavaScript Q&A (41–55)
41. Limitations of Arrow Functions
No this, arguments, super, or new.target

Not suitable for object methods
42. Difference between find() vs findIndex()
find() returns value
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 8/10
findIndex() returns index
js
[1, 2, 3].find(x => x > 1); // 2
[1, 2, 3].findIndex(x => x > 1); // 1
43. What is Tree Shaking in JavaScript?
Removes unused code during bundling to reduce file size (used in ES6 modules).
44. Difference between Local Storage and Session Storage
Feature Local Storage Session Storage
Lifetime Until manually cleared Until tab closed
Capacity ~5–10MB ~5MB
Shared across tabs Yes No
45. What is eval() in JavaScript?
eval() executes a string of JavaScript code.
js
eval("2 + 2"); // 4
❗ Not recommended due to security and performance issues.
46. Difference between Shallow Copy and Deep Copy
Shallow Copy: Copies only first-level properties.
Deep Copy: Copies all nested objects.
47. Difference between Undeclared and Undefined Variables
Undeclared: Variable not declared at all → error.
Undefined: Variable declared but no value assigned.
48. What is Event Bubbling?
Event flows from the inner element to the outer one.
49. What is Event Capturing?
Event flows from outer to inner element (opposite of bubbling).

typeof "hi"; // "string"
typeof null; // "object"
52. What is this in JavaScript and how it behaves?
Refers to the current context:
In global scope → window
In object → that object
In arrow functions → this from outer scope
53. How to optimize JavaScript app performance?
Use async/lazy loading
Minify files
Use caching
Avoid memory leaks
Use debounce and throttle
Avoid DOM reflows
54. What is Debouncing and Throttling?
Debouncing: Runs function after some delay of last call (e.g., search box).
Throttling: Runs function at regular intervals, not more than once every X ms (e.g., scroll event).
