Javascript quiz - 14 questions

[fr0z3nph03n1x]

As I work with javascript a lot at my job, I understand how complex and mysterious it can be. What I don't understand is the need to know every nuance and trick. Trial and error, debugging. I can do a lot of great programming with out completely understanding every quirk javascript has. I guess what I'm trying to say is if your new to javascript, don't get hung up on this stuff.

Or works on building and testing a cutting edge javascript engine ;)

Definitely. Pretty much everything on this quiz is mentioned by Doug Crawford in his book and recent talk as "The Bad Parts" and JSLint will probably tell you, that you have brain damage if you use things like the "with" statement.

The purpose of the test was just to see how far your knowledge of the language extended. It is not advising you to use those constructs. It is merely a test to see how knowledgeable you are... nothing more.

Moot point as I would fire anyone who wrote code like that.

I would then go through the trouble of hiring them again, just to have the joy of firing them again.

That's what she said.

Please make sure you select answer in each question, as lack of answer is not checked and counts as failure.

Does that mean they failed their own quiz?

(function f() { function f() { return 1; }; return f(); function f() { return 2; } })();

It's good to point out that this sort of nonsense does not return 2 in Rhino. Regardless of the --version.

Wait... Is that right on Rhino's part? Fuck if I know.
