There are given some javascript frequently asked questions below. these questions are frequently asked in the interview.

  1. what are the difference between double equal(==) and triple equal(===)?

Answer: both operators are used for comparing values. double equal compares only values, it does not care about data types. but triple equal compares data types with the values.

2.What are truth and falsy values?

Answer: if we declare a number variable and we are checking the value is true or false javascript thinks it is true. if the value of the variable is undefined javascript assumes it as undefined. in number variable, if we assign the value 0 javascript assumes it as false. and in the string variable, if we assign an empty string, javascript assumes it as false also.

3. Difference between undefined and null.

Answer: The undefined property indicates that a variable has not been assigned a value, or not declared at all. if a function is not explicitly returned then it will show the value as undefined. if the user wants to read an undeclared property of an object then the value will be undefined because it does not exist. undefined is negative or false. In javascript null is “nothing”.it is supposed to something that does not exist. null has been explicitly set if any declared variable does not have any value or it had some value initially but is absent at that time.

4.What is scope in js?

Answer: Scope determines the accessibility of variables.if something is declared inside a function that will be only accessible inside the function.it will not exist outside the function. there are two types of scopes. one is the local scope and the other is the global scope. the variable which is declared outside the function will be accessible inside the function and outside the function both.

5.what is closure in javascript?

Answer: If we call a function or return a function from another function then it will create a closed environment. they keep external variables as references. global can be made local with closures.
