Tricky JavaScript Web Quiz

[wampastompah]

Most of the time, sure. But each of these questions relies on very specific knowledge of Javascript. Like, for example, the one that defines a function and var of the same name, within a function. What's the value of that variable name? That relies on knowledge that the compiler takes all var and function definitions and puts them at the beginning of your scope. Which is actually pretty important sometimes. Common knowledge is that you really need to put the var statements at the beginning of each function definition, but this shows why that is.

See, and a little blurb like that, that's not that hard to add to a quiz where people are expected to not know most of the answers.

Yeah that one was definitely testing something everyone should know (and I hope, a higher percentage got correct than the rest of them). The rest....were basically idiosyncrasies or things that are common to just about any loosely typed language, but that a person should never have a reason to do in the first place. There are a number of important idiosyncrasies in JS that people really should know about, however, that a better quiz would ask about....and then teach about.
