- Variables and Data Types: Understanding different data types (e.g.,
string
,number
,boolean
) and how to use variables (var
,let
,const
). - Operators: Familiarity with arithmetic, comparison, logical, assignment, and conditional (ternary) operators.
- Functions: Writing and using functions, including arrow functions, function expressions, and hoisting.
- Control Structures: Implementing logic using
if
,else
,switch
, and ternary operators. - Loops: Using different loops (
for
,while
,do-while
,for-in
,for-of
) for iterating over data. - Arrays: Understanding array methods (like
map
,filter
,reduce
), properties, and array manipulation techniques. - Objects: Working with objects, properties, methods, and understanding object-oriented concepts like prototypal inheritance.

- Web APIs: Working with Web APIs like Fetch API, Local Storage, and more.
- Module System: Using modules (ES6 Modules, CommonJS) for maintaining code in different files.
- Regular Expressions: Using regular expressions for pattern matching and string manipulation.
- This Keyword: Understanding the context of
this
and how it varies in different scenarios. - Higher-Order Functions: Functions that take functions as arguments or return functions.
- Event Loop and Concurrency Model: Understanding JavaScript’s concurrency model and the event loop.
