1. String Mutability :

let text = 'abcde'

text[1] = 'z'
console.log(text)

What is the output of it?

azcde? zbcde?

Output: abcde

why?
String is immutable, which means that once a
string is created and assigned a value, it cannot
be changed. However, you can create a new
string with a different value and assign it to the
same variable.

ex:
let text = 'abcde'
text = 'abcdz'
console.log(text)
//output: abcdz

2. Accidental Global Variable :

function foo() {
let a = b = 0;
a++;
return a;
}
foo();

console.log(b);
console.log(a);

What is the output of it?

@nikhilvallore
 Swipe >>

Output:
0
ReferenceError: a is not defined

when you write "let a = b = 0",

it looks like both "a" and "b" are declared using
"let". However, this is not the case.

In reality, "b" is declared as a global variable

using the keyword "var". This means that it is
not limited to a block of code, but can be
accessed and used anywhere in your program.

3. This :
const obj = {
value: "val1",
prop: {
value: "val2",
print: function(){console.log(this.value)},
},
print: function(){ console.log(this.value) },
print2: () => console.log(this.value)
}

obj.print()
obj.prop.print()
obj.print2()

What is the output of it?

@nikhilvallore
 Swipe >>

Output: val1 val2 undefined

obj.print(), the function logs the value of this.value of

object 'obj' which is "val1"

When you run the code obj.prop.print(), the function

logs the value of this.value of object 'obj.prop' which
now points to the inner object in which value is "val2"

When you run the code obj.print2(), the arrow

function logs the value of this.value which is
"undefined", This is because arrow functions do not
have their own "this" and therefore the value of this
inside an arrow function refers to the window global
object
