JavaScript- Scopes and Closures

Scope

  • The scope is the set of variables, objects, and functions you have access to.

Create Scope 
  • Use functions
Declaring Variables
  •  If you do write operation without declaring variable -> work fine
    • foo = 10; console.log(foo);  -> 10
  • If you do read operation without declaring variable -> doesn't work fine
    • console.log(foo) -> syntax error
Window Object
  • Inbuilt object provided by JavaScript itself
  • Every global variable and functions are part of window object
JavaScript is both compilations and interpreted language
  • Compilation: register variables, method names, arguments in global scope
  • Interpretation: assign values to global scope and execute the code
  • global scope problem: undeclared function inside the variable it goes to global scope
Hoisting
  • It doesn't matter where you declare your variable (In the compilation step it include all variables automatically before the interpretation)
Strict Mode
  • To get strict mode: "use strict"
  • It doesn't allow use variables without declaring it before. 
Closure
  • Function remembers it's declaration scope at every stage when it executes
Callback
  • setTimeout(function,time)
  • The function you want to execute after waiting defined time(milliseconds)
Important Facts
  • JavaScript is not block scoping language: {} doesn't create blocks in JavaScript
  • IIFE: Immediately Invoke Function Expressions
    • Execute anonymous functions directly
  • When executing functions each time new copy of local variables are produce

Object Oriented Programming (OOP)

Object Object is an entity that has state and behavior Class Collection of objects is known as class. There are four main types of OOP concepts Inheritance Object acquire all the properties and behavior of parent object Improve code re-usability Polymorphism One task is performed by different ways Use method overload and override Abstraction Hiding internal details and showing functionality Use abstract class and interfaces Encapsulation Binding code and data into a single unit

Sorting Algorithms

Bubble Sort Named as sinking sort. Compare each pair of the adjacent items and swap them if they are in the wrong order. Worst case and average case time complexity both O(n^2)  and best case time complexity is O(n).

Java-8

Java 8 New Features There are several new features added in Java 8 version. Some of the important new features are: Define methods inside the interface For each method Lambda Expression Stream API DateTime API 1) Define methods (default, static) inside the Interface After you published your interface, you can't change it by adding some abstract methods. But if you want to add methods you can define those methods inside the interface. Therefore Java 8 support default and static methods inside the interface. In Java 7 version interface only have abstract methods (no method implementation) and an abstract class can have both abstract and non-abstract methods. In Java 8 version you can add method implementation in the interface, but you have to declare that method as default method. ex: default void show(){............} To avoid diamond problem you have to override the method in implementation class if two interfaces have same default method ...
