JS3: Attendance and activity

FP

  1. map(), filter(), and reduce() are so called higher-order functions? What does it mean?

  2. Functions are the first-class citizens. What does this mean - give an example

  3. Functions can be declarations or expressions. Please explain the following snippet:

    const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4];
const addFive = (numbers) => [...numbers, 5]
addFive(numbers);

Async: Promise

  1. What is the purpose of the two parameters in the Promise constructor’s callback argument?

    const promise1 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  resolve('Success!');
});

  2. How do you get the return value of a resolved Promise?

  3. What do we mean by “happy path” in the context of a promise chain?

  4. How would you get access to the rejected value ‘Fail!’? There are multiple alternatives - itemize

    const promise2 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  reject('Fail!');
});

  5. Can the Promise chain be continued after catch()? Give a rationale

Async: Fetch

  1. fetch() is AJAX enabler. What is AJAX - why do we need it?

  2. What is a query string? What is the separator between key-value pairs?

  3. What HTTP method benefits from query string? What are the other HTTP methods?

  4. Why does fetch() return a Promise? What does async keyword signify?

  5. What implications are there if you await fetch() to finish?
