Q. What is the difference between == and ===?
Ans. 

== is used for equality comparison, while === is used for strict equality comparison.

  • == checks for equality of values, while === checks for equality of values and data types.

  • == can perform type coercion, while === does not.

  • == is less strict than ===.

  • Example: 1 == '1' returns true, but 1 === '1' returns false.

A Full Stack Developer was asked
Q. What is hoisting in JavaScript?
Ans. 

Hoisting in JavaScript is a behavior where variable and function declarations are moved to the top of their containing scope during the compilation phase.

  • Variable declarations are hoisted to the top of their scope, but not their initializations.

  • Function declarations are fully hoisted, including their definitions.

  • Hoisting can lead to unexpected behavior if not understood properly.

Ans. 

To make a class immutable, we need to ensure that its state cannot be modified after creation.
