Q. What is debouncing and throttling in JavaScript?
Ans. 

Debouncing and throttling are techniques used in JavaScript to limit the number of times a function is called.

A Senior Associate was asked 10mo ago
Q. What is hoisting in JavaScript? Give an example.
Ans. 

Hosting in JS refers to the behavior of variable declarations being moved to the top of their containing scope during the compilation phase.

  • Variable declarations are 'hoisted' to the top of their scope, regardless of where the actual declaration occurs.

  • Only the declarations are hoisted, not the initializations.

  • Example: var x; console.log(x); var x = 5; // Output: undefined

Nailed the interview, still rejected
Just had the BEST interview ever – super positive and encouraging! But got rejected. Interviewer said I was the most prepared, knew it was a full-time role (unlike others), and loved my answers. One of my questions was even called "the best ever asked!" He showed me around, said I was exactly what they wanted, and would get back by Friday. I was so hyped! Then today, I got the rejection email. No reason given, just "went with someone else." Feels bad when your best isn't enough. Anyone else been there? How'd you cope?
