Q

Difference Undefine and NULL

A

Undefined is the value given to variables that have not been assigned a value. NULL means ‘no value’. It can be thought of as a placeholder. Both are non-value types.

Example:

10 + null // null behaves like zero
–> 10

10 + undefined // undefined is not a number
–> NaN

In general, values tend to be set to undefined by JS, whereas values are usually set to NULL manually by the coder

61
Q

A

It refers to the ‘owner’ of the function

62
Q

What is the call(() method?

A

Example
const person = {
  fullName: function() {
    return this.firstName + " " + this.lastName;
  }
}
const person1 = {
  firstName:"John",
  lastName: "Doe"
}
const person2 = {
  firstName:"Mary",
  lastName: "Doe"
}
// This will return "John Doe":
person.fullName.call(person1);
63
Q

What is the apply() method?

A 
With the apply() method, you can write a method that can be used on different objects.
The apply() method is similar to the call() method
