Important JavaScript Interview Questions and Answers

Q: What are the data types in JavaScript?

A: Primitive: String, Number, Boolean, Null, Undefined, BigInt, Symbol

Non-primitive: Object, Array, Function

Q: What is hoisting in JavaScript?

A: Hoisting is JavaScript's default behavior of moving declarations to the top. Variables declared

with 'var' are hoisted (initialized as undefined), while 'let' and 'const' are hoisted but not initialized.

Q: What is a closure?

A: A closure is when an inner function has access to the outer function's variables even after the

outer function has returned.

Q: Difference between == and ===?

A: == checks value only (performs type coercion)

=== checks value and type

Q: What is the 'this' keyword?

A: 'this' refers to the context in which a function is called. In objects, it refers to that object. In a

global function, it refers to window (in browser).

Q: What is the event loop?

A: The event loop allows JavaScript to be non-blocking and handle async operations. It moves tasks

from the call stack and callback queue/microtask queue into execution order.

Q: What is the difference between let, const, and var?

A: var - function-scoped, hoisted, can be redeclared

let - block-scoped, hoisted (but not initialized), can be updated

const - block-scoped, cannot be updated or redeclared

Q: Explain arrow functions.


A: Arrow functions are shorter function syntax and do not have their own 'this'.

Example: const greet = () => [Link]('Hi');

Q: What is a Promise?

A: A Promise represents a value that may be available now, or in the future. It has 3 states: pending,

fulfilled, rejected.

Q: What is event delegation?

A: Instead of attaching an event listener to every element, you attach it to a common parent and use

[Link] to handle specific elements.

Q: Explain debouncing.

A: Debouncing ensures a function runs only after a certain time has passed since the last time it was

invoked. Useful in input fields or resizing.

Q: Difference between null and undefined?

A: undefined means a variable has been declared but not assigned

null is an assigned value meaning 'no value'

Q: What is shallow copy vs deep copy?

A: Shallow copy copies only top-level properties

Deep copy copies all nested levels using [Link]([Link](obj))
