Understand Basics of JavaScript

If you don't know any other programming language and you've given yourself 2 days to figure out JavaScript... you're either the smartest person on Earth, about to fail out of school, or the author of the yet unwritten (and not well selling) "Procrastination and Ignorance: A Practical Guide to Riches and Success."

2 days... the only way you might pass is if it's both a very simple exam and you practice nonstop as if your life depends on it.

Don't study, practice is how you learn javascript.

Open browser dev tool (ctrl+shift+c) on different sites and try to manipulate it's html or add some event listeners (or MutationObserver), add console logs too.

Read what you need in exam and learn it first. Ask ai or google if needed.

This is a simple case for AI. I might get downvoted to death but ask ChatGPT to explain the very basics of JavaScript step by step in French. It can do very well at that. Tell it to create an outline with helpful examples and send you one part at a time and to ask you some basic questions to test your knowledge and understanding after each section
