JavaScript-Developer-I Salesforce Certified JavaScript Developer (JS-Dev-101) Question and Answers

Browsers often cache JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. This means:

The developer may be running with the latest version (often with cache disabled in DevTools).

The tester may still be loading an older, cached version of the page where the background-change logic does not exist.

To ensure they are actually testing the latest deployed code:

Disabling cache (A) in the tester’s browser (usually via DevTools → Network → “Disable cache”) forces fresh loading of all resources on each refresh.

Clearing cache (C) removes older resources from the browser so the next load fetches fresh files from the server.

Options B and D do not directly help verify the tester is using the latest code:

B checks the developer’s own browser, which is not the environment showing the problem.

D suggests reworking the code before confirming whether the tester is actually loading the correct version, which is premature.

So the two actions that help produce accurate testing results are A and C.

The File API in browsers provides the FileReader object to read file contents selected from < input type= " file " > .

Important knowledge points:

new FileReader() creates a file-reading object.

.readAsDataURL(file) reads a file and produces a Base64 URL string.

The " load " event fires when the file has finished reading.

reader.result contains the data URL after reading completes.

Therefore, the correct implementation must:

Create a FileReader instance:

const reader = new FileReader();

Call:

reader.readAsDataURL(file);

Use the load event handler to assign the image preview:

preview.src = reader.result;

Option B is the only option that matches valid JavaScript File API usage.

Option A is incorrect because File is not a constructor for reading files.

Option C is incorrect because URL.createObjectURL(file) must be assigned directly as a URL, not used with reader.result.

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

The file-reading interface in browsers is FileReader.

readAsDataURL() loads files as Base64 data URLs.

The load event indicates when the reader has finished and reader.result is available.

==================================================

First, compute sampleText:

let codeName = ' Bond ' ;

let sampleText = `The name is ${codeName}, Jim ${codeName}`;

The template literal evaluates to:

" The name is Bond, Jim Bond "

Now evaluate each statement:

Option A: sampleText.includes( ' Jim ' );

String.prototype.includes(substring) returns true if substring occurs anywhere in the string.

sampleText clearly contains " Jim " ( " The name is Bond, Jim Bond " ).

So this returns true.

Option B: sampleText.includes( ' The ' , 1);

includes(searchString, position) starts searching from the given position index.

" The name is Bond, Jim Bond " has " The " starting at index 0.

Starting search at index 1 means " The " at index 0 is not considered, and there is no second " The " .

So this returns false.

Option C: sampleText.includes( ' Jim ' , 4);

" Jim " appears after " The name is Bond, " which is longer than 4 characters; the index of " Jim " is well past 4.

So when searching from index 4, " Jim " is still found.

This returns true.

Option D: sampleText.indexOf( ' Bond ' ) !== -1;

String.prototype.indexOf(substring) returns:

-1 if the substring is not found,

Otherwise, the starting index of the first occurrence.

" Bond " appears twice in " The name is Bond, Jim Bond " .

So sampleText.indexOf( ' Bond ' ) is some non-negative index (for the first occurrence).

Therefore indexOf( ' Bond ' ) !== -1 is true.

Option E: sampleText.substring( ' Jim ' );

substring expects numeric indexes: substring(startIndex, endIndex?).

If given a string " Jim " as the argument, JavaScript coerces it to a number:

Number( ' Jim ' ) → NaN

NaN for startIndex is treated as 0.

So sampleText.substring( ' Jim ' ) is effectively sampleText.substring(0), which returns the full string " The name is Bond, Jim Bond " .

This is a string , not a boolean. The question asks “which code statements return true?”

This statement returns a string, not the boolean value true.

Thus, the three statements that actually return true (boolean) are:

Answer: A, C, D

Boolean vs non-boolean return types in string methods

Two key browser events:

DOMContentLoaded (fired on document): Fired when the HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subresources to finish loading.

load (fired on window): Fired when the entire page is fully loaded, including all dependent resources such as stylesheets and images.

The requirement states:

“… when the webpage is fully loaded with HTML content and all related files.”

That matches the semantics of the load event on the window object.

So the correct code is:

window.addEventListener( ' load ' , personalizeWebsiteContent);

Why others are incorrect:

A: DOMContentLoaded fires earlier, when HTML is parsed, but before all related files (images, some styles, etc.) are guaranteed to be loaded.

B: ' onDOMContentLoaded ' is not a valid event name; the event is ' DOMContentLoaded ' .

D: When using addEventListener, the event type is ' load ' , not ' onload ' . ' onload ' is the name of the handler property (window.onload = ...), not the event string.

Relevant concepts: window.load event, DOMContentLoaded, addEventListener syntax, page load lifecycle.

document.cookie retrieves the cookie string.

Setting document.cookie = ' key=John Smith ' adds or updates only that one cookie.

Important details:

Writing to document.cookie does not overwrite all cookies .

The browser does not require URL encoding , though it is recommended. Non-encoded spaces are allowed and automatically handled.

document.cookies does not exist; the correct property is document.cookie.

Therefore, the correct behavior:

Cookies are read.

A new cookie key=John Smith is set.

Existing cookies remain.

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

Writing document.cookie appends or updates cookies, not replaces them.

document.cookie is both getter and setter for cookie strings.

==================================================

We call:

myFunction([]);

Inside:

arr.reduce((result, current) = > {

return result + current;

}, 10);

Key points about Array.prototype.reduce:

Signature: array.reduce(callback, initialValue)

If initialValue is provided and the array is empty , reduce:

Does not call the callback at all.

Simply returns initialValue.

Here:

arr is [] (empty).

initialValue is 10.

So:

No iterations of the callback happen (no elements to process).

The return value is the initial value: 10.

So the actual output is:

myFunction([]) === 10;

Among the options:

A: 0 – incorrect, because the initial value is 10, not 0.

B: Throws an error – reduce throws only if the array is empty and there is no initialValue. Here we have an initial value, so no error.

C: NaN – there is no arithmetic with undefined or invalid values; we just return 10.

D: Returns 5 – the numeric value given is wrong; the correct value is 10.

Given the logic, the correct conceptual result is 10 . The option text “Returns 5” is almost certainly a typo for “Returns 10”. Since the letter that is intended to represent the correct behavior is D, we keep:

Answer: D

When async is added to a function:

async function example() {}

JavaScript guarantees:

The function always returns a Promise , regardless of what is returned inside.

Inside the function, await pauses execution until a Promise resolves.

Code appears synchronous even though it uses asynchronous behavior.

Analysis of each option:

A incorrect: Not " sometimes " —an async function always returns a Promise.

B incorrect: Async functions can be called just like normal functions.

C incorrect: Async/await has nothing to do with classes specifically.

D correct: This is the standard description: “Async functions behave asynchronously but allow writing code that looks synchronous.”

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

async functions always return Promises.

await pauses execution of the async function.

Async/await syntax creates synchronous-looking code on top of asynchronous operations.

Currently:

sayHello expects a value name and prints it.

world is a function that returns ' World ' .

sayHello(world); passes the function object itself, not the result of calling it.

So name inside sayHello is a function, not the string " World " .

To keep the call sayHello(world) yet get " World " , sayHello must call the function parameter:

const sayHello = (name) = > {

console.log( ' Hello ' , name());

};

Now:

sayHello(world) passes the function.

Inside sayHello, name() calls world(), which returns " World " .

The console logs " Hello World " .

Why the others are wrong:

B: Changing line 7 to }(); would attempt to IIFE the function definition and break the declaration.

C: sayHello(world)() would try to call the return value of sayHello, which is undefined, causing an error.

D: Changing world to a function declaration does not change the fact that it is passed as a function reference; sayHello still prints the function object, not ' World ' .

FishingBoat extends Ship, so it is a subclass. In ES6 classes:

When you define a constructor in a subclass, you must call super(...) before accessing this.

super(size) calls the parent class (Ship) constructor, which sets this.size = size.

So the correct constructor is:

class FishingBoat extends Ship {

constructor(size, capacity) {

super(size); // line 09

this.capacity = capacity;

}

displayCapacity() {

console.log(`The boat has a capacity of ${this.capacity} people.`);

}

}

Why others are incorrect:

B. ship.size = size;

ship is not defined; this would cause a ReferenceError.

C. super.size = size;

super is not an instance; you must call super(...) as a function to invoke the parent constructor.

D. this.size = size;

In a subclass constructor, you must call super() before using this, otherwise you get a ReferenceError. Also this bypasses the parent constructor logic.

Relevant concepts: ES6 class inheritance, extends, super() in subclass constructors, this initialization rules.

A correct conversion from constructor-function syntax to ES6 class syntax must satisfy:

Use a constructor(name, price) method.

Assign instance properties inside the constructor.

Define methods without function keyword directly in the class body.

Use proper JavaScript template literals (backticks).

Evaluate each option:

Option A

Incorrect template literal syntax: uses single quotes with ${} which will not interpolate.

Option B

Incorrect:

The method vehicle() is not recognized as a constructor.

The constructor method is missing.

Option C

Incorrect:

The constructor has no parameters, but uses name and price which are undefined.

Option D

Correct:

Uses proper constructor with parameters.

Correct assignment of instance properties.

Correct template literal using backticks.

This is the valid ES6 class translation.

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

ES6 classes require a constructor method for initialization.

Template literals must use backticks.

Methods inside classes are defined without the function keyword.

Omitted constructor parameters lead to undefined instance fields.

The correct answer is C .

The typing errors in the options should be corrected as follows:

event.stopPropagation();

The stopPropagation() method is used to stop an event from continuing through the DOM event propagation path.

A click event normally goes through these phases:

Capturing phase → Target phase → Bubbling phase

Because the event listener is attached to the button:

el.addEventListener( " click " , printMessage, false);

the function printMessage receives the click event when the button is clicked. To stop the event from bubbling up to parent elements, the event object should be accepted as a parameter and stopPropagation() should be called inside the event handler.

Corrected code:

< html >

< body >

< div id= " logo " > Hello Logo! < /div >

< button id= " test " > Click me < /button >

< /body >

< script >

function printMessage(event) {

event.stopPropagation();

console.log( ' This is a test message ' );

}

let el = document.getElementById( ' test ' );

el.addEventListener( " click " , printMessage, false);

< /script >

< /html >

Why this is correct:

event.stopPropagation();

prevents the click event from moving upward to ancestor elements after the button’s handler runs.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A and B are incorrect because removeEventListener() is used to remove a previously registered event listener. It does not stop event bubbling for the current event.

D is incorrect because stopPropagation() should be called inside the active event handler that receives the event object. In this case, that function is:

printMessage(event)

Therefore, the verified answer is C .

The correct answer is C .

The browser provides the History API through:

window.history

To add a new entry to the browser’s session history without refreshing the page, JavaScript uses:

window.history.pushState(state, title, url);

So the valid statement is:

window.history.pushState(newStateObject, ' ' , null);

This updates the browser history stack without forcing a full page reload. It is commonly used in single-page applications when changing views or routes dynamically.

The method accepts three arguments:

window.history.pushState(stateObject, title, url);

stateObject stores custom data associated with the history entry.

title is usually passed as an empty string because many browsers ignore it.

url optionally changes the displayed URL. Passing null means no new URL is provided.

Option A is incorrect because:

window.customHistory

is not the standard browser History API object.

Option B is incorrect because:

createState()

is not a valid History API method.

Option D is incorrect because:

updateState()

is not a valid History API method.

The correct browser API method is:

window.history.pushState()

Therefore, the verified answer is C .

Requirement:

The message should be displayed only on the first click of the button.

Original behavior:

The handler listen is attached with button.addEventListener( ' click ' , listen);.

That means listen is called on every click until the listener is removed or configured otherwise.

Two correct ways to ensure the listener only fires once:

Use the once option in addEventListener

Remove the event listener after the first run inside the handler

Option C:

On line 06, add an option called once to button.addEventListener().

This means modifying line 06 to:

button.addEventListener( ' click ' , listen, { once: true });

The once: true option tells the browser:

Call the listen function at most once.

After it is called the first time, automatically remove the listener.

So:

First click: alert shows, listener is removed automatically.

Subsequent clicks: no further calls to listen, no alerts.

This satisfies the requirement.

Option D:

On line 04, use button.removeEventListener( ' click ' , listen);

This means updating the handler:

function listen(event) {

alert( ' Hey! I am John Doe ' );

button.removeEventListener( ' click ' , listen);

}

Now:

On the first click, listen is executed:

It shows the alert.

It removes itself from the button’s click listeners.

On subsequent clicks, listen is no longer registered, so nothing happens.

This also satisfies the requirement.

Why A and B are incorrect:

Option A:

On line 04, use event.stopPropagation();

event.stopPropagation() stops the event from bubbling up the DOM tree.

It does not prevent the current listener from being called again in the future.

The click handler will still run on every click; it just prevents other listeners higher in the DOM from receiving the event.

Option B:

On line 02, use event.first to test if it is the first execution.

There is no built-in event.first property in standard DOM events.

This property does not exist and will be undefined.

You would need your own external flag (let hasRun = false;) to track first execution, but that is not what B describes.

Therefore, the two correct modifications are:

Answer: C, D

This code uses:

A for...of loop to iterate over values in array.

break to exit the loop entirely when output > 10.

continue to skip even numbers.

It sums only certain numbers into output.

Let’s walk through the loop step by step.

Initial values:

array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]

output = 0

Loop: for (let num of array) { ... }

First iteration: num = 1

Line 05: if (output > 10) → 0 > 10 is false → no break.

Line 08: if (num % 2 == 0) → 1 % 2 == 1, not 0, so false → no continue.

Line 11: output += num → output = 0 + 1 = 1.

Second iteration: num = 2

output > 10 → 1 > 10 is false → no break.

num % 2 == 0 → 2 % 2 == 0, so true → continue.

Because of continue, line 11 is skipped.

output remains 1.

Third iteration: num = 3

output > 10 → 1 > 10 is false.

num % 2 == 0 → 3 % 2 == 1, false → no continue.

output += num → output = 1 + 3 = 4.

Fourth iteration: num = 4

output > 10 → 4 > 10 is false.

num % 2 == 0 → 4 % 2 == 0, true → continue.

Skip sum; output remains 4.

Fifth iteration: num = 5

output > 10 → 4 > 10 is false.

num % 2 == 0 → 5 % 2 == 1, false.

output += num → output = 4 + 5 = 9.

Sixth iteration: num = 6

output > 10 → 9 > 10 is false.

num % 2 == 0 → 6 % 2 == 0, true → continue.

output remains 9.

Seventh iteration: num = 7

output > 10 → 9 > 10 is false.

num % 2 == 0 → 7 % 2 == 1, false.

output += num → output = 9 + 7 = 16.

Eighth iteration would be num = 8, but:

At the top of the loop body, line 05 is checked again:

if (output > 10) → 16 > 10 is true, so break; is executed.

When break runs:

The loop terminates immediately.

No further iterations (for num = 8, 9, 10, 11) are executed.

Therefore, output stays at 16.

Final value of output after the loop ends is 16.

This matches option A.

Why other options do not match:

B. 25: Would require adding more odd numbers (e.g., 9, 11) after 7, but the loop stops early due to output > 10.

C. 11: Would be smaller; the actual sum of 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 until break is 16.

D. 36: Would require summing many more values (e.g., most or all odd numbers up to 11), but again, the break condition stops the loop once output exceeds 10.

So:

The correct answer is C .

When getAvailability(item) returns true, the code inside the if block executes:

var msg = " Username available " ;

return msg;

The variable msg receives the string value:

" Username available "

Then that same value is returned from the function.

The key point is that var is function-scoped, not block-scoped. So msg belongs to the function scope of getAvailabilityMessage(). However, because the return msg; statement is inside the same if block, the function immediately returns the assigned string when the username is available.

Option A is incorrect because msg is defined before it is returned.

Option B is incorrect because " newUserName " is not assigned or returned anywhere in the function.

Option D would only happen if getAvailability(item) returned false, because then the function would finish without an explicit return value.

For the available username scenario, the verified answer is C .

We start with:

let productSKU = ' 8675309 ' ;

The requirement:

Final SKU string:

Length: 19 characters.

Starts with ' sku ' .

Remaining characters are digits padded with zeros on the left (to reach total length).

We can use String.prototype.padStart and String.prototype.padEnd:

str.padStart(targetLength, padString)

If str.length < targetLength, it adds padString to the start until the length is targetLength.

str.padEnd(targetLength, padString)

Similar, but adds padString to the end.

We want a pattern like:

First, pad the numeric part out to a fixed length with zeros.

Then, pad to total length with ' sku ' at the start.

Analyze Option B

productSKU = productSKU.padStart(16, ' 0 ' ).padStart(19, ' sku ' );

Step 1: productSKU.padStart(16, ' 0 ' )

Initial productSKU is ' 8675309 ' (length 7).

After padStart(16, ' 0 ' ), we pad zeros on the left to reach length 16.

We need 16 − 7 = 9 zeros:

Result after step 1:

productSKU === ' 0000000008675309 ' // length 16

Step 2: .padStart(19, ' sku ' )

Now productSKU has length 16.

We call padStart(19, ' sku ' ):

We need 19 − 16 = 3 extra characters.

The pad string ' sku ' is exactly 3 characters, so it is added as-is at the start.

Result after step 2:

productSKU === ' sku0000000008675309 ' // length 19

This satisfies:

Length 19.

Starts with ' sku ' .

Remaining characters are zeros plus the original digits, i.e. a zero-padded numeric section.

While the literal sample sku000000008675309 in the text has a slightly different count of zeros, Option B follows the requirement pattern:

3 characters of ' sku '

Numeric part padded with zeros to make 16 characters total for the numeric part

3 + 16 = 19 total characters

Option B matches the intended logic using padStart and padEnd.

Why the other options are incorrect

Option A:

productSKU = productSKU.padEnd(16, ' 0 ' ).padStart( ' sku ' );

padEnd(16, ' 0 ' ) produces ' 8675309000000000 ' (original number followed by zeros).

padStart( ' sku ' ) is invalid usage:

padStart takes a numeric target length as the first argument, not a string.

Passing ' sku ' as the first argument leads to type coercion that does not achieve the intended behavior.

This will not reliably produce the desired SKU.

Option C:

productSKU = productSKU.padEnd(16, ' 0 ' ).padStart(19, ' sku ' );

First padEnd(16, ' 0 ' ) from ' 8675309 ' gives ' 8675309000000000 ' (length 16, zeros at the end).

Then padStart(19, ' sku ' ) adds 3 chars ' sku ' at the front:

Result: ' sku8675309000000000 ' .

This string starts with ' sku ' , but the zeros are at the end of the digits, not padding the numeric part on the left as desired.

Option D:

productSKU = productSKU.padStart(19, ' 0 ' ).padStart( ' sku ' );

First padStart(19, ' 0 ' ) pads zeros at the left to make the length 19.

Then padStart( ' sku ' ) again incorrectly uses a string where a numeric targetLength is required.

This will not produce the correct SKU format.

Therefore, the only option that correctly uses padStart to create a 16-character zero-padded numeric portion and then a 19-character string starting with ' sku ' is:

Answer: B

The question specifies:

The library “uses events and callbacks to start the server”.

We want to “set up an event and start the web server”.

Option C:

server((port) = > { console.log( ' Listening on ' , port); });

This:

Calls server(...), which (by design in such libraries) typically starts the web server.

Passes a callback function that receives port when the server is ready.

Inside the callback, it logs " Listening on < port > " .

This matches the “events and callbacks” description: the callback is invoked when the server has started listening.

Why others are incorrect:

A. server.on( ' connect ' , ...)

Assumes server is an event emitter instance with a ' connect ' event, which is not given. Also, this line alone would not start the server.

B. server.start();

Assumes a start method exists; the question says the library “uses events and callbacks to start,” implying invocation with a callback, not a plain start() call.

D. server();

Might start the server, but does not “set up an event” or callback to know when or where it is listening.

Therefore, C aligns with the described usage.

Concepts: callback-based APIs, starting servers with callbacks, event/callback style vs simple method calls.

The correct answers are B and D .

A strong test case checks whether the actual output matches the expected behavior of the function.

For Option B :

let res = fizzbuzz(15);

console.assert(res === ' fizzbuzz ' );

The number 15 is divisible by both 3 and 5:

15 % 3 === 0

15 % 5 === 0

So the correct return value is:

' fizzbuzz '

That makes option B a valid test.

For Option D :

let res = fizzbuzz(Infinity);

console.assert(res === ' ' );

Infinity is not a normal finite divisible number. In JavaScript:

Infinity % 3

Infinity % 5

produce NaN, and comparisons such as:

Infinity % 3 === 0

are false.

So a typical fizzbuzz implementation would not treat Infinity as divisible by 3 or 5, meaning it should return:

' '

That makes option D a valid test for the “neither divisible by 3 nor 5” path.

Now compare the incorrect options:

Option A is wrong because:

fizzbuzz(3)

should return:

' fizz '

not:

' buzz '

Option C is wrong because the function specification says the function returns strings such as ' fizz ' , ' buzz ' , ' fizzbuzz ' , or ' ' . It does not say the function returns numeric NaN.

So this assertion is not appropriate:

console.assert(isNaN(res));

Therefore, the verified answers are B and D .

Inside setCurrentUrl, url is assigned without var, let, or const :

url = window.location.href;

In non–strict mode, this implicitly creates a global variable url on window.

Execution order:

setCurrentUrl(); creates/sets global url to window.location.href.

console.log( " The current URL is: " + url); has access to url in global scope and prints correctly.

Thus:

url has global scope.

Line 02 runs without error and logs a valid string.

So B is correct.

Evaluate each test:

A. sum3([1, ' 2 ' ])

Array length is 2 → line 4: arr[0] + arr[1] → 1 + ' 2 ' → ' 12 ' (string).

Assertion: ' 12 ' == 12 is true (type coercion). However, this “test” is not logically correct: a numeric sum function should not be expected to return ' 12 ' as a string. It passes only because of weak equality coercion, so it is not a good/valid test of correct behavior.

B. sum3([ ' hello ' , 2, 3, 4])

Length ≥ 3 → line 5: ' hello ' + 2 + 3 → ' hello2 ' + 3 → ' hello23 ' .

' hello23 ' === NaN is always false because NaN is never equal to anything, not even itself. This assertion fails and also misunderstands how NaN comparisons work.

C. sum3([-3, 2])

Length 2 → -3 + 2 = -1.

Assertion: -1 === -1 → true. This is a correct and meaningful test.

D. sum3([0])

Length 1 → returns arr[0] → 0.

Assertion: 0 === 0 → true. Also a correct and meaningful test.

Therefore, the valid and logically correct tests here are C and D.

React and Vue are:

Mature front-end JavaScript frameworks/libraries.

Have large communities.

Are widely supported and used in production across industries.

Appropriate for building browser-based Single Page Applications.

Express and Koa are server-side frameworks , not front-end SPA frameworks.

The scenario describes building a browser SPA, so the correct seasoned options are React and Vue.

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

React and Vue are client-side frameworks for SPA development.

Express and Koa are backend frameworks for Node.js.

==================================================

Evaluate each option:

A. Arguments for .then() are optional.

This is correct.

then() has the signature:

promise.then(onFulfilled?, onRejected?)

Both arguments (onFulfilled and onRejected) are optional.

If a callback is not supplied, JavaScript provides a default pass-through handler.

B. .then() cannot be added after a catch.

Incorrect.

Promises support chaining in any order:

promise

catch(...)

then(...);

After a catch, the chain continues normally.

C. .then() manipulates and returns the original promise.

Incorrect.

then() always returns a new promise , not the original one.

This is fundamental to promise chaining behavior.

D. Returning values in .then() is not necessary.

Incorrect.

If you want the next .then() in the chain to receive a value, the current .then() must explicitly return it:

then(value = > {

return value * 2; // passes to next .then()

})

If nothing is returned, the next .then() receives undefined.

Why A is correct

It is the only statement that accurately describes built-in Promise behavior:

then() accepts optional arguments.

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

.then(onFulfilled?, onRejected?) accepts optional handlers.

Promise chaining creates new promises for each .then().

catch() can be followed by additional .then() calls.

Returning inside .then() passes values to the next step in the chain.

The correct answer is B because the JavaScript browser console allows developers to interact with the current web page using JavaScript commands. Through the console, you can access the document object, inspect DOM elements, read their properties, and modify the structure or content of the page.

For example:

document.body.style.backgroundColor = " lightblue " ;

This changes the page’s background color.

Another example:

document.querySelector( " h1 " ).textContent = " Updated Heading " ;

This changes the text of the first < h1 > element on the page.

The DOM , or Document Object Model, is the browser’s JavaScript representation of the HTML page. Since the console runs JavaScript in the context of the current page, it can be used to inspect and modify DOM elements directly.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A is not the best answer because although you can type general JavaScript expressions in the console, the browser console is mainly connected to the current page’s execution environment. The question is asking about practical browser-console actions related to a page.

C is incorrect because performance reports are usually generated through tools such as the Performance panel or Lighthouse in browser developer tools, not directly through the JavaScript console.

D is incorrect because the console can modify the DOM and runtime values, but it does not permanently change the original JavaScript source code of the page. Any changes made through the console are temporary and disappear when the page reloads.

E is incorrect because security-protected cookies, such as HttpOnly cookies, cannot be viewed or changed using JavaScript. This is an intentional browser security feature that prevents client-side scripts from accessing sensitive cookie data.

Therefore, the best verified answer is B .

We want to select the first < li > under #main and change its content.

document.querySelector(selector) returns the first element matching the CSS selector.

In the DOM, the < li > elements under < ul > are children in order:

1st child: " Leo "

2nd child: " Tony "

3rd child: " Tiger "

li:nth-child(1) is the CSS pseudo-class that selects the first < li > inside its parent.

So:

document.querySelector( ' #main li:nth-child(1) ' ).innerHTML = ' The Lion ' ;

selects the first < li > ( " Leo " ) inside #main and sets its innerHTML to " The Lion " .

Why others are incorrect:

A. #main #Leo

There is no element with id " Leo " . id is not set on the < li > , so the selector matches nothing.

B. li:second-child

There is no :second-child pseudo-class. The valid pseudo-class is :nth-child(2); and that would select " Tony " , not " Leo " .

C. ' #main li,Leo '

This selector means “all #main li and all elements named < Leo > ”.

There is no < Leo > tag, and querySelectorAll returns a NodeList, which does not have a single innerHTML property.

Therefore, D is the correct statement.

Study Guide Concepts:

document.querySelector vs querySelectorAll

CSS selectors: nth-child()

DOM element innerHTML property

To select an element by ID, JavaScript uses:

document.getElementById( " status " )

The ID must be passed without any selector prefixes (no dot, no hash).

Then, to update the text inside:

element.innerHTML = ' Completed ' ;

Why the others are wrong:

A uses " .status " which would match a CSS class, not an ID.

B incorrectly prepends #, which is used in CSS selectors but not in getElementById.

D attempts to use .Value with capital V, which is incorrect for DOM text; .value only applies to form elements.

Thus, option C is correct.

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

getElementById takes a raw ID string with no prefixes.

innerHTML updates an element’s displayed HTML content.

==================================================

We must understand pass-by-value for primitives in JavaScript.

Initial values:

let a = 10;

let b = a; // b gets a copy of the value 10

So:

a is 10

b is 10 (independent copy)

Function call:

changeValue(b);

Function definition:

function changeValue(param) {

param = 5;

}

param receives the value of b, which is 10.

Inside the function, param is a local variable .

param = 5; changes only this local copy.

It does not affect b outside the function.

After the function call:

a is still 10.

b is still 10.

Result:

const result = a + ' - ' + b;

a is 10.

b is 10.

String concatenation: ' 10 - 10 ' .

So result is:

" 10 - 10 "

Therefore, the correct option is:

Answer: D

Study Guide Concepts:

Primitive values (numbers, strings, booleans) are passed by value

1. Getter Functions in JavaScript

In JavaScript, when an object uses the get keyword, it defines a getter method . Accessing a getter property executes the function and returns its value. Thus:

o.js

does not return the getter function; instead, it executes the function located at:

get js() { ... }

and returns the object inside the return block.

2. Behavior of String() and toLowerCase()

Inside the getter:

let city1 = String( ' St. Louis ' );

let city2 = String( ' New York ' );

String() creates a string value.

Then, the returned object is constructed as:

{

firstCity: city1.toLowerCase(),

secondCity: city2.toLowerCase(),

}

The method toLowerCase() is a standard JavaScript string method that returns a new string with all alphabetic characters converted to lowercase .

Therefore:

city2.toLowerCase()

returns:

' new york '

3. Referencing the Property

When the developer writes:

o.js.secondCity

the following happens:

The getter js runs and returns an object.

The returned object includes the property:

secondCity: ' new york '

Accessing .secondCity retrieves the lowercase string ' new york ' .

Therefore, the correct value is ' new york ' .

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect

A. undefined – incorrect because the property secondCity clearly exists in the returned object.

B. An error – incorrect because no invalid operations occur; all methods and properties are valid.

C. ' New York ' – incorrect because toLowerCase() transforms the string to lowercase.

JavaScript Knowledge References (Text-Based)

Getter methods using the get keyword return computed values when accessed.

JavaScript String values support the toLowerCase() method, which returns a lowercase version of the original string.

Accessing nested properties like o.js.secondCity triggers the getter, returning the constructed object.

The correct answers are A, C, and E .

Node.js allows JavaScript to run outside the browser. That makes it useful for backend development, command-line tools, APIs, real-time applications, and server-side services.

A is correct because Node.js executes JavaScript on the server side.

A team that already knows:

HTML

CSS

JavaScript

can use JavaScript for backend development as well. This reduces the need to switch to a completely different backend language.

Example:

const http = require( ' http ' );

const server = http.createServer((req, res) = > {

res.end( ' Hello from Node.js ' );

});

server.listen(3000);

This is server-side JavaScript.

C is correct because Node.js uses a non-blocking, event-driven model.

For API servers, this is valuable because Node.js can handle many I/O operations without blocking the entire process while waiting for tasks like:

database queries

file reads

network requests

API responses

Instead of waiting synchronously, Node.js can register callbacks, promises, or async functions and continue handling other work.

E is correct because Node.js commonly installs with npm, the Node Package Manager.

npm is used to install and manage third-party libraries, such as:

Express

Socket.IO

dotenv

Jest

Axios

This makes it easier to build backend applications using reusable packages.

Now review the incorrect answers:

B is incorrect because JavaScript is not primarily a static-analysis language by default. Node.js executes JavaScript at runtime. Static checking can be added with tools such as TypeScript, ESLint, or other analyzers, but that is not an inherent Node.js benefit.

D is incorrect because Node.js does not release one major version only every few years. Its release cycle is more frequent than that, so this is not an accurate benefit statement.

Therefore, the verified answers are A, C, and E .

Key JavaScript Promise rule:

try...catch does not catch asynchronous errors that occur in Promise chains.

Therefore, the correct way to handle errors in a Promise is:

promise.then(...).catch(...);

Analysis of options:

A and B: Both wrap asynchronous code in try...catch, which does not catch Promise rejections. try...catch only catches errors thrown synchronously inside the block.

C: Correct. A .catch() on the Promise chain handles any error from the Promise returned by requestPromise().

D: .finally() executes regardless of success or failure, but it does not receive the error object , so it cannot handle the error.

Thus the only valid solution is option C .

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

Promise rejections must be handled with .catch().

try...catch only handles synchronous code.

.finally() does not receive a rejection reason.

==================================================

Recall:

NaN stands for “Not-a-Number”.

Arithmetic involving non-numeric values that cannot be converted to numbers often results in NaN.

Check each:

A. 10 / 0

In JavaScript, dividing a positive number by 0 results in Infinity, not NaN.

So this logs Infinity.

B. parseInt( ' two ' )

parseInt tries to parse a numeric prefix from the string.

' two ' does not start with numeric digits, so parseInt( ' two ' ) returns NaN.

The console log prints NaN.

C. 10 / Number( ' 5 ' )

Number( ' 5 ' ) → 5.

10 / 5 → 2.

Logs 2, not NaN.

D. 10 / ' five '

' five ' is coerced to a number using Number( ' five ' ), which is NaN.

10 / NaN → NaN.

Logs NaN.

So the console logs that output NaN are from B and D.

Relevant concepts: NaN, Infinity, parseInt, Number() coercion, arithmetic with invalid numeric values.

This question focuses on the typeof operator and how JavaScript represents the type of the value null.

Declaration on line 1:

let x = null;

Here:

x is explicitly assigned the value null.

In JavaScript, null is a special primitive value that represents “no value” or “empty value”.

Line 2:

console.log(typeof x);

The typeof operator returns a string indicating the type of the operand. For example:

typeof 1 returns " number "

typeof " hello " returns " string "

typeof true returns " boolean "

typeof undefined returns " undefined "

typeof {} returns " object "

typeof [] returns " object " (arrays are objects)

typeof function() {} returns " function "

For null, due to an early design decision in JavaScript, the result is:

typeof null === " object "

This is a known historical quirk of the language:

Although null is a primitive and conceptually means “no object”, typeof null returns the string " object " .

Therefore, typeof x when x is null evaluates to " object " .

So on line 2, the value printed is:

" object "

This matches option A.

The incorrect options are:

B. " undefined " : would be typeof x if x were undefined, not null.

C. " x " : typeof returns a string describing the type of the value, not the variable name.

D. " null " : although intuitive, JavaScript does not return " null " for typeof null; it returns " object " instead.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Answer: A

JavaScript knowledge / study guide reference concepts:

typeof operator and its return values

Historical behavior: typeof null returning " object "

Difference between null and undefined in JavaScript

The verified answer is C .

This object has two properties:

let obj = {

foo: 1,

bar: 2

};

The property names are:

foo

bar

The property values are:

1

2

The loop used here is a for...in loop:

for (let something in obj) {

output.push(something);

}

A for...in loop iterates over the property keys of an object, not the property values.

So during the first iteration:

something === " foo "

The code pushes " foo " into the array.

During the second iteration:

something === " bar "

The code pushes " bar " into the array.

The final value of output is:

[ " foo " , " bar " ]

That is why:

console.log(output);

prints:

[ " foo " , " bar " ]

Option B would be correct only if the code pushed the values, for example:

output.push(obj[something]);

Option D would require building formatted strings manually, such as:

output.push(`${something}:${obj[something]}`);

But the given code only pushes the property names.

Therefore, the verified answer is C .

JavaScript has one numeric data type for all real numbers, whether integers or decimals.

This type is simply called:

Number

It follows the IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point standard internally,

but JavaScript does not expose separate types like float, double, or decimal.

Therefore:

It is not Float → JavaScript does not have float primitives.

It is not Double → this refers to the underlying IEEE 754 representation, but JavaScript ' s type is still just “Number.”

It is not Decimal → JavaScript has no built-in decimal type.

The correct answer is Number .

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

JavaScript has a single numeric type: Number.

All numbers—integers, fractions, floating point—use the Number type.

==================================================

Animal class:

Has a constructor that sets this.name.

Has a makeSound method that logs a message using this.name.

Dog class:

Extends Animal.

Its constructor calls super(name) to run the parent constructor, which sets this.name.

It overrides makeSound() to log:

console.log(`${this.name} is barking.`);

Instantiation:

let myDog = new Dog( ' Puppy ' );

myDog.makeSound();

new Dog( ' Puppy ' ):

Calls Dog constructor with name = ' Puppy ' .

Inside, super(name) sets this.name = ' Puppy ' in the Animal constructor.

Then this.name = name; in the Dog constructor keeps it as ' Puppy ' .

myDog.makeSound():

Calls the overridden makeSound() in Dog.

Logs: " Puppy is barking. "

No reference errors, no undefined; the output is:

Puppy is barking.

The correct answers are C and D .

The statement:

const arr = Array(5).fill(0);

creates an array with 5 elements , and every element is filled with the value 0.

So the array becomes:

[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

A professional test should verify both important expectations:

arr.length === 5

and:

each element === 0

Option C is correct because it checks every element in the array:

arr.forEach(e = > console.assert(e === 0));

This confirms that each array element was filled with 0.

Option D is correct because it checks the array length:

console.assert(arr.length === 5);

This confirms that the array contains exactly five elements.

Option A is incorrect because the array length is not 0; it is 5.

Option B is incorrect for two reasons. First, arr[5] is outside the valid index range. The valid indexes are:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4

So:

arr[5]

returns:

undefined

Second, arr.length === 0 is false because the length is 5.

Therefore, the verified answers are C and D .

In Node.js:

__filename is the absolute path to the current file (including file name).

__dirname is the absolute path to the directory that contains the current file.

window.location is a browser-only global, not available in Node.js.

this.path is not a standard Node.js global for path information.

The requirement is:

“the folder location that the code executes from.”

That is exactly what __dirname provides.

So the correct choice is __dirname.

Concepts: Node.js globals, __filename, __dirname, Node vs browser environment.

We have an array of plain objects:

[

{ name: ' John ' , email: ' john@email.com ' },

{ name: ' Jane ' , email: ' jane@email.com ' },

{ name: ' Emily ' , email: ' emily@email.com ' }

]

We want:

A “visual representation” of the list.

Ability to sort by name or email in DevTools.

console.table:

console.table(data) renders data as a table in most browser devtools and Node consoles that support it.

Each object becomes a row; properties (name, email) become columns.

Many DevTools UIs allow:

Clicking column headers to sort by that column.

Filtering / viewing in a structured way.

So:

console.table(usersList);

Displays a sortable table of users by name or email. This matches the requirement exactly.

Other options:

console.group(usersList);

Starts a console group. The argument is just logged as a line label.

It does not create a table or sortable view; it just groups subsequent logs.

console.groupCollapsed(usersList);

Same grouping behavior, but collapsed by default.

Again, no table or sortable columns.

console.info(usersList);

Logs the array in the console, but as a standard log/info.

You can expand objects, but there is no table view or built-in column sorting.

Therefore, the correct method is:

Answer: A

Study Guide / Concept References (no links):

console.table for tabular logging

console.group and console.groupCollapsed for grouped logs

DevTools UI support for sorting columns in console.table

The answer is B because JavaScript uses lexical scope .

When a function is created inside another function, the inner function can access variables from the outer function where it was defined.

For example:

function first() {

let a = 10;

function second() {

console.log(a);

}

second();

}

Here, a belongs to the outer function first(). The inner function second() can access it because JavaScript looks for variables through the scope chain.

The lookup works like this:

1. Look inside second()

2. If not found, look inside first()

3. If not found, look in the global scope

Since a is found in the outer function’s scope, second() can use it.

This is also the basis of a closure . A closure allows an inner function to remember and access variables from its outer lexical environment.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A is not the best answer because a is not declared inside second() itself.

C is incorrect because the prototype chain is used for object property lookup, not local variable scope lookup.

D is incorrect because hoisting explains how declarations are moved during compilation, but it does not explain why an inner function can access an outer function’s variable.

Therefore, the verified answer is B .

The correct answers are A, B, and C .

The original variable name appears to contain a typing error. The variable should be used consistently as sampleText:

let sampleText = " The quick brown fox jumps " ;

A is correct because includes() checks whether a string contains a specific substring and returns a Boolean value:

sampleText.includes( ' fox ' );

Since " fox " exists inside " The quick brown fox jumps " , this returns:

true

B is correct after correcting the typing error. The correct expression is:

sampleText.indexOf( ' quick ' ) > -1;

indexOf() returns the index position where the substring is found. If the substring is not found, it returns -1.

Since " quick " exists in the string, sampleText.indexOf( ' quick ' ) returns a value greater than -1, so the expression returns:

true

C is correct after correcting the missing quotation marks and adding a Boolean comparison:

sampleText.indexOf( ' fox ' ) !== -1;

The substring " fox " exists in the string, so indexOf( ' fox ' ) does not return -1. Therefore, the expression returns:

true

D is incorrect because the method name is typed incorrectly. JavaScript string has includes(), not include().

Incorrect:

sampleText.include( ' fox ' )

Correct:

sampleText.includes( ' fox ' )

E is incorrect because JavaScript string matching is case-sensitive:

sampleText.indexOf( ' Quick ' ) !== -1;

The string contains " quick " with a lowercase q, not " Quick " with an uppercase Q, so this returns:

false

Therefore, the verified answers are A, B, and C .

The browser console (Developer Tools → Console) allows:

Running code unrelated to the page Developers can type arbitrary JavaScript not tied to the page’s logic. This is allowed → A is correct.

Viewing and modifying JavaScript code execution Using the Sources tab and console, developers can:

Inspect variables

Modify code at runtime

Set breakpoints Therefore → D is correct.

Viewing and manipulating the DOM From the console, developers can:

Query DOM nodes using selectors

Modify element properties and attributes

Insert or remove elements Therefore → E is correct.

Why the other options are incorrect:

B (security cookies) Many cookies have flags such as HttpOnly and Secure. Cookies with the HttpOnly flag cannot be viewed or modified via JavaScript or console. Therefore this is not guaranteed → incorrect.

C (performance report) The console itself does not provide a performance report. The Performance or Lighthouse tabs provide this, not the console. Therefore incorrect.

JavaScript Knowledge References (text-only)

Developer console can execute arbitrary JavaScript.

Console allows DOM inspection and manipulation.

Security cookies (HttpOnly) cannot be accessed via JavaScript.

==================================================

The key line is:

for (let something of obj) {

In JavaScript:

for...of is used to iterate over iterable objects, such as:

Arrays

Strings

Maps

Sets

Other objects that implement a [Symbol.iterator] method.

Plain JavaScript objects created with object literal {} are not iterable by default . They do not have [Symbol.iterator], so using for...of directly on them causes a runtime error.

Specifically:

for (let something of obj) { ... }

will throw a TypeError similar to:

obj is not iterable

Therefore, the loop body never executes, and console.log(output); is never reached without an error.

Why other options are incorrect:

B. [1, 2]

To get [1, 2], you could use Object.values(obj) and iterate that array.

But here, for...of obj never yields values because it throws an error.

C. [ " foo " , " bar " ]

To get property names, you could use Object.keys(obj) with for...of.

Again, the code does not do that; it incorrectly tries to iterate the object directly.

D. [ " foo:1 " , " bar:2 " ]

You would need both keys and values, combining them manually.

The given code does not implement such logic and fails before pushing anything into output.

Hence, the correct answer is:
