Name 3 ways to define a color in HTML

1) Hex 2) RGB 3) Name (ie red)

function,block,function,hoisted,undefined

1) Variables in JavaScript have f? scope, not b? scope. 2) B/c of f? scope, local variables are "h?" to the top of the function they're defined in. This means that if a local variable has the same name as a global one, it hides the global one--even before the statement that declares/initializes it appears. Let's illustrate. What does the first "console" statement display? ========================== var glob = 13; function func () { console.log(glob); var glob = 26; console.log (glob); }

What is the process of adding text to an element.

1) You have to create the element that will hold the text. 2) Next you have to create and store a text node, with createTextNode( 'your text' ); 3) Lastly append it to the element created in step one.

global,this,window

1) Your program's global variables, constructor methods like Date, and constants like Infinity are properties of what object? 2) Finish the following top-level statment (i.e. not in any function) to refer to this object: var glob = ????; 3) For client-size JavaScript, name another object that refers to the global object

new,conversion,false

1) a) and 1b) When you use Number(), Object(), Boolean(), or String() without the ??? operator, these methods become c????????? methods. 2) Example; String (?????) ==> "false";

What is the difference when you use an = sign when assigning to a variable or to an object?

Output of: var object1 = { same: 'same' }; var object2 = { same: 'same' }; console.log(object1 === object2);

False, because JavaScript doesn't care that they're identical and of the same object test. When comparing complex objects, they're equal only when they reference the same object. Two variables containing identical objects are not equal to each other since they don't actually point at the same object.

The onfocus and onblur are events where code can be written, the onblur event is a good place to write validation code.

What is the difference between var obj = { }; and var obj = new myObject( );

The second uses a constructor function. It does some setup behind the seen setting the constructor property as well as defining a prototype for the object. Method one simply instantiates the object from the default Object object.

What is the stack and how does it work?

The stack is the context of the executing script. While the function is running the main program must remember the point where it jumped into the function and what was going on there. This includes things like the variables available and their state. This is the stack. Each time a new function is called from the main routine a new snapshot of the context has to be taken and added on top of the stack. This requires memory. When the stack grows too large the browser dies and you get an error in the console.

for in vs object.keys(object)

There is a difference between the enumerable properties returned in a f or-in loop and the ones returned by Object.keys() . The for-in loop also enumerates prototype properties, while Object.keys() returns only own (instance) properties. The differ-

External JS File

This is a file with nothing but Javascript written in it and saved with a .js extension. Using this allows you to set functions that all pages in a web site can use because all pages can be given access to this file.

keywords

This is a group of reserved terms in a language that are used for function names, variable uses or coding processes; these words cannot be used to name variables that you create. Some keywords are: var, function, if, for, Array, Date, document, return.

getMinutes()

This is a method of the Date object. It returns a numeric representation of the current minute (00-59).

getSeconds()

This is a method of the Date object. It returns a numeric representation of the current second (00-59).

getDate()

This is a method of the Date object. It returns a numeric representation of the date (1-31).

getHours()

This is a method of the Date object. It returns a numeric representation of the hour (0 -midnight- 23).

getYear()

This is a method of the Date object. It returns a two-digit numeric representation of the year (0-99).

listener

This is a piece of code that can detect computer events and trigger an action in response. In HTML some attributes of tags are considered such. Examples are a button recognizing onmouseover and onclick. They are programmed to only work when the type of event they are set up for happens to the thing they are attached to.

variable

This is a reference to a stored value; the stored value can be changed. The reference can be used to manipulate the value stored in the variable by having a new value assigned to it.

statement

This is a series of instructions that a computer can follow one-by-one.

String

This is a series of letters in a sequence; basically just text. It needs to be used inside quotes for it to be seen as a String by a program.

array

This is a special type of variable, It doesn't just store one value; it stores a list of values

event

This is any action by the user that afffects the computer and that the computer recognizes. These can include keystrokes, mouse clicks, files loading or attaching a USB device. Javascript can recognize keystrokes and multiple mouse actions like clicking. It can also recognize internal things like the clock changing time.

scope

This is the area of code that a variable can be seen in. It is derived from where the variable is first declared. Sometimes it is limited to within a function, sometimes it is limited to inside a single web page or sometimes it can extend throughout an entire website if the variable is passed from page to page.

Javascript

This is the scripting language of web pages. By using it to access and manipulate web page parts it can make pages interactive and dynamic.

DOM-Document Object Model

This is the tree list of items on a web page. This is what allows Javascript to find and manipulate parts of a web page. All items on a web page branch out from the main root item of 'document'.

Object

This is the ultimate datatype in a programming language. It can hold multiple properties and can have functions as a part of it. It is a coded items in Javascript, not a simple data form like numbers and letters. They are what are made when a prototype is called and it creates one of itself in the program. An Array is an example of one of these.

syntax

This is the way a language is written so it can be processed and run as a program. An example is when the language requires the programmer to name a new variable with a keyword preceding it. Some languages use a dot to combine things together like objects and their methods or to get access to properties inside an object. An example of this would be document.getElementById().

colors[2] = 'beige';

This is used to change the third array in the var of color to beige in single quotes

var

This is used to create a new variable

src

This is used to link the javascript file to the html page

data

This is what is put after the = to say what the variable is

Iterative Development

This is when a developer produces a version of a project and then makes revisions and improvements to create a better version of the project. When this happens over and over to get to the final product it produces an increasingly advanced version.

assignment

This is when a value is associated with a named variable. The equal (=) sign is the assignment operator. Example: shoesize = 14;

declare

This is when a variable is first named in code. A variable can simply be named using the keyword "var" and then later a value can be given to the variable.

string

This operator combines two strings

assignment

This operator is used to assign a value to a variable

logical

This operator is used to combine expressions and return true or false

comparison

This operator is used to compare two values and return true of false

arithmetic

This operator is used to perform basic math

What is one way to minimise the use of global variables?

To create a single global variable

true

when do you use the switch statement?

Use the switch statement to select one of many blocks of code to be executed.

How can you create privacy in JavaScript and what are some examples of its use?

Using a closure you can create private areas in your code. Usages might be a global namespace for your code, private data members for sensitive info and such.

How do you assign the value from a prompt to a non-string variable?

Using a parse. Example : var intVar = parseInt(prompt("Text Here"));

slice(-2,-1)

Using only negative indices, write the slice() call that returns ['b'] from the array ['a','b','c']

How do you save data in javascript?

Using the var command: Example var myAge = 23 console.log(myAge) This will produce the number 23. **variable name is case sensitive**

What are two advantages to using 'for' instead of 'for in'?

We can get the properties we want in the correct order, as well as avoiding looking at the prototype chain

What is grouping in CSS?

When more than one selector shares the same declaration, they may be grouped together via a comma-separated list; this allows you to reduce the size of the CSS (every bit and byte is important) and makes it more readable. The following snippet applies the same background to the first three heading elements.

text nodes

When passing HTML to jQuery(), please also note that text nodes are not treated as DOM elements. With the exception of a few methods (such as .content()), they are generally otherwise ignored or removed. E.g:

Infinite Loop

When the condition is never false, and therefore the browser keeps looping

When are a function's parameters initialised?

When the function is invoked

$.css

When using .css() as a setter, jQuery modifies the element's style property. For example, $( "#mydiv" ).css( "color", "green" ) is equivalent to document.getElementById( "mydiv" ).style.color = "green". Setting the value of a style property to an empty string — e.g. $( "#mydiv" ).css( "color", "" ) — removes that property from an element if it has already been directly applied, whether in the HTML style attribute, through jQuery's .css() method, or through direct DOM manipulation of the style property. It does not, however, remove a style that has been applied with a CSS rule in a stylesheet or <style> element

b

Where is the constant MIN_VALUE stored? a) the Math object b) the Number object c) none of the above

a

Which shows the correct argument list for the splice() array method? a) start idx, num of elements to remove, new elements b) start idx, end idx, new elements

What is capturing & bubbling?

capturing says the event take an outside in approach, starting at the html root level and then propagates down to the event target, being the actual item clicked. Bubbling is the reverse. It takes an inside out approach and starts at its current event target and bubbles all the way up to the top. This can be problematic bc if an event is capturing and propagating down it would fire every click event that is registered on elements it hits on the way to the target. Another problem is IE 8 and below dont support capturing, they only support bubbling. T

What are JavaScript closures? When would you use them?

A closure is the local variables for a function, kept alive after the function has returned, or a closure is a stack-frame which is not deallocated when the function returns. A closure takes place when a function creates an environment that binds variables to it in such a way that they are kept alive after the function has returned. A closure is a special kind of object that combines two things: a function, and any local variables that were in-scope at the time the closure was created. Example: function sayHello(name) { var text = 'Hello' + name; //local variable var sayAlert = function { alert(text); } return sayAlert; } Closures reduce the need to pass state around the application. The inner function has access to the variables in the outer function so there is no need to store the information somewhere that the inner function can get it. This is important when the inner function will be called after the outer function has exited. The most common example of this is when the inner function is being used to handle an event. In this case, you get no control over the arguments that are passed to the function so using a closure to keep track of state can be very convenient. (function() { function foo(x) { var baz = 3; return function (y) { console.log(x + y + (++baz)); } } var moo = foo(2); // moo is now a closure. moo(1); // 7 moo(1); // 8! })();

When would you use var in your declaration and when you wouldn't?

Always use var. Not using var for variable declaration will traverse scopes all the way up until the global scope. If the variable with that name is not found it will declare it in the global scope. And you don't want to implicitly declare variables in the global scope anyways, it's a bad practice!

How does the flow of a program work

As the code executes down the body of the code it iterates through each line and executes it one by one. When it encounters a function call it jumps into that function definition and the control of the program flow is then given to that function to execute. While the function is running the main program must remember the point where it jumped into the function and what was going on there. This includes things like the variables available and their state. The place where this is stored is called the stack. Once the body of the function called finishes executing, or a return keyword is hit, the control is returned to the main routine from the function using it.

$.is()

Event bubbling

Event bubbling describes the behavior of events in child and parent nodes in the Document Object Model (DOM); that is, all child node events are automatically passed to its parent nodes. The benefit of this method is speed, because the code only needs to traverse the DOM tree once. This is useful when you want to place more than one event listener on a DOM element since you can put just one listener on all of the elements, thus code simplicity and reduction. One application of this is the creation of one event listener on a page's body element to respond to any click event that occurs within the page's body.

recursion

Having a function repeatedly call itself until it sees a reason to stop doing so. When making recursive functions, we consider the following: What is the base case? The base case occurs when the condition is satisfied. This is the last step of the loop. The function simply does some action and ends. What is recursive case? The recursive case occurs when the condition is not satisfied yet. Here, the function does some action and then continues the loop by calling itself. How will data be passed between the different calls of the function? Recursive functions pass data with arguments and return values, rather than variables. WARNING: Make sure your code will reach the base case. Otherwise, the loop will run forever and crash your browser.

Explain hoisting in JavaScript

In JavaScript, function declarations (and their bodies) and variable declarations are 'hoisted' (silently moved to the very top of the scope).

appName

extending Class methods using 'prototype'

In general, if you want to add a method to a class such that all members of the class can use it, we use the following syntax to extend the prototype: className.prototype.newMethod = function() {statements; };

constructor

In object-oriented programming, a constructor in a class is a special type of subroutine called at the creation of an object. It prepares the new object for use, often accepting parameters which the constructor uses to set any member variables required when the object is first created. It is called a constructor because it constructs the values of data members of the class.

What is the best practice, in terms of data integrity, for working with objects?

In order to get and set values of an object you should create a well defined interface. An interface is a set of methods that you use to read and manipulate the properties / state of an object. In other languages these are called getters and setters or accessers and mutators.

Where is the <script> tag located in javascript?

In the head or body element. Usually head.

Different ways to add CSS to web page

Inline: HTML elements may have CSS applied to them via the STYLE attribute. Embedded: CSS may be embedded in a Web page by placing the code in a STYLE element within the HEAD element. Linked: CSS may be placed in an external file (a simple text file containing CSS) and linked via the link element. Imported: Another way to utilize external CSS files via @import.

Should you put JavaScript in separate file?

It depends on many factors 1. Caching When you separate your javascript or css into separate files then it will be cached in the browser and when a new request arrives there is no need to download a new one from the browser. But in the case of an inline coding each time the page is requested the content will be downloaded which will increase the bandwidth usage. 2. Reduce HTTP request By making an inline coding you can reduce the number of HTTP requests which is one page optimization technique. 3. Maintainability By making external javascript and css file it will be easier to maintain the code. You don't have t change each page for the changes to be applied. 4. Minification Minification is the practice of removing unnecessary characters from code to reduce its size thereby improving load times. When code is minified all comments are removed, as well as unneeded white space characters (space, newline, and tab). In the case of JavaScript, this improves response time performance because the size of the downloaded file is reduced.

What does JavaScript do to the DOM?

It manipulates the DOM/ changes the HTML contents

What is Lexical Scoping

It means the when a function executes it uses the data members that were around at the time it was defined, not when it is actually called. Aka, functions take a snapshot of whats going on around their definition when they are called. This is what is know of as their 'scope'. Scope is basically what information the function knows about when it executes. As stated above, this has to do with what is around at the time of their definition.

What can you select when you make a new object?

The object that should be its prototype

Difference between window.onload and onDocumentReady?

The onload event does not fire until every last piece of the page is loaded, which includes CSS and images, which means there's a huge delay before any code is executed. onDocumentReady allows us to just wait until the DOM is loaded and is able to be manipulated

Event

The operating systems response to the occurrence of a specific condition.

Data validation

The process of checking user input data to make sure it exists and is accurate.

Instantiate

The process of creating a new object and assigning it a value.

What happens if we add a new property to a prototype?

The property is immediately visible to all the objects that are based on that prototype

What are the four parts of a function literal?

The reserved word 'function'; The optional function name; The set of parameters; A set of statements

Difference between undefined and null

The value of a variable with no value is undefined (i.e. not been initialized). Variables can be emptied by setting their value to null. === will check specifically for undefined/null, == will return true for either value. undefined and null are two distinct types: undefined is a type itself while null is an object.

parameter

The variable name that will be given to an argument passed to the function

What is the top level of the BOM and what is its purpose

The window object which represents the frame of the browser. Everything associated with it including the scroll bars, navigator bar icons and so on.

comments

These are human readable notes inside of programming code. These are inserted by the developer to help explain some parts of the code. The software that runs the program does not display or take into account these sections. They are usually short and to the point.

How are numbers, strings, and booleans NOT object-like?

They are immutable.

What is different about the parameters of a function than those of ordinary variables?

They are not initialised to 'undefined', but are initialised to the arguments supplied when the function is invoked

What do simple types and object types have in common? How are simple types "object-like"?

They both have methods.

What is special about functions?

They can be invoked

What makes the identity operators different from the standard equality operators?

They do not perform type coercion. //Eg. If data types don't match they fail the comparison

How are numbers, strings, and booleans object-like?

They have methods.

Why should global variables be avoided?

They weaken the resiliency of programs

['white', 'black', 'gray'];

This array has (white black and gray) string values, using single quotes

function

This is a coded construct that has a name, takes zero or more parameters and contains coded instructions of something to do like calculate a total cost of items bought. It is enclosed inside opening and closing curly brackets. Another name for this is a method.

For Loop

This is a coding structure that allows something to be processed over and over for as long as a condition is met. An example is when we need to access all items in an Array to display a list of items bought.

What is Strict Mode in JavaScript?

Throws errors for actions that are silly but didn't previously throw an error, for potentially unsafe actions. Disables functions that are poorly thought out.

Increment

To add one member to a value.

Output of: var object1 = { same: 'same' }; var object2 = object1; console.log(object1 === object2);

True

Output of: var price1 = 10; var price2 = 10; var price3 = new Number('10'); console.log(price1 === price2); console.log(price1 === price3);

True False, because price3 contains a complex number object, and price1 is a primitive value.

when do you use the If...else if...else statement?

Use the if....else if...else statement to select one of several blocks of code to be executed.

How does variable scope work with functions?

Variables created outside of any function are accessible globally, anywhere. Variables created inside a function are available only within that function and its descendants.

Global Function

Variables declared outside a function that can be used throughout the program

What is identifier lookup

When you use a variable name in Javascript it begins a process called identifier lookup where it looks for something with the same name. It starts at whatever level of scope you are currently at and if not found it moves its way back up the "scope chain" until it resolves the name. If it cant find the identifier you get undefined. If you overwrite a value locally that was originally defined in a higher scope you effectively temporarily change the value of that variable while youre in that function scope. This is called shadowing.

How do you replace an element?

You call el.replaceChild( var_to_insert, el_it_comes_before );

What method do you call and what object do you call it on to create a element? How does it work?

You call the createElement method on the document object. It works by accepting a string, which is the element type, and then returns an element object of the corresponding type. This can then be appended.

How do you set an attribute on an element?

You call the setElement( ) method on a selected element.

What are the different ways of creating a new object?

You can create an object in several ways. #1 - you can write: var myObj = {}; and thus define it by an object literal. Then add to it with dot syntax. #2 - Alternatively, you can write a function and then call the new keyword in front of it: function Rabbit(adjective) { this.adjective = adjective; this.speak = function(line) { print("The ", this.adjective, " rabbit says '", line, "'"); }; } var killerRabbit = new Rabbit("killer"); killerRabbit.speak("GRAAAAAAAAAH!"); Using this method #2 is known as making a constructor for the object. The value of this will automatically point to the object created by using the new keyword. Method 2 also sets the correct prototype of the new object to its parent definition instead of pointing to the default new "Object".

bracket examples
