<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
   var name = "Vikas Ahlawta"
   alert(name);
</script>
</head>


b).If your script code is very large then you can make a javascript file and add its path in the following way..
Code:
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="myjavascript.js"></script>
</head>


4).Is JavaScript case sensitive?
Ans:-Yes!
A function getElementById is not the same as getElementbyID


5).What are the types used in JavaScript? 
Ans:-String, Number, Boolean, Function, Object, Null, Undefined.

6).What are the boolean operators sported by JavaScript?
And Operator: &&
Or Operator: ||

ex:-
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
Full name: <input type="text" id="txtFullName" name="FirstName" value="Vikas Ahlawat">

names[1] = "Ashish";
names[2] = "Nikhil";


b) this is second way

var names = new Array("Vikas", "Ashish", "Nikhil");

document.write(isNaN(123)+ "<br>");


output will be:-
true
true
false

15).What is the use of Math Object in Javascript?
Ans:-
The math object provides you properties and methods for mathematical constants and functions.
ex:-

Code:
var x = Math.PI; // Returns PI
var y = Math.sqrt(16); // Returns the square root of 16
var z = Math.sin(90);    Returns the sine of 90


16). What do you understand by this keyword in javascript? 
Ans:-In JavaScript the this is a context-pointer and not an object pointer. It gives you the top-most context that is placed on the stack. The following gives two different results (in the browser, where by-default the window object is the 0-level context):

Code:
var obj = { outerWidth : 20 };

function say() {
    alert(this.outerWidth);
}
say();//will alert window.outerWidth
say.apply(obj);//will alert obj.outerWidth


17).What does "1"+2+4 evaluate to?
Ans:-Since 1 is a string, everything is a string, so the result is 124.

18).What does 3+4+"7" evaluate to?
Ans:-Since 3 and 4 are integers, this is number arithmetic, since 7 is a string, it’s concatenation, so 77 is the result.

19).How do you change the style/class on any element using javascript?
Ans:-
Code:
document.getElementById(“myText”).style.fontSize = “10";
-or-
document.getElementById(“myText”).className = “anyclass”;


20).Does javascript support foreach loop?
Ans:- Yes, See example here http://jsfiddle.net/gpDWk/

21).What looping structures are there in JavaScript? 
Ans:-for, while, do-while loops

22).what is an object in JavaScript, give an example?
Ans:-
An object is just a container for a collection of named values

// Create the man object
Code:
var man = new Object();
man.name = 'Vikas Ahlawat';
man.living = true;
man.age = 27;


23).How you will add function as a property in a JavaScript object? Give example.?
Ans:-
Code:
var man = new Object();
man.name = 'Vikas Ahlawat';
man.living = true;
man.age = 27;

man.getName = function() { return man.name;}
console.log(man.getName()); // Logs 'Vikas Ahlawat'.


24).What is the similarity between 1st and 2nd statement?
1st:- var myString = new String('male'); // An object.
2nd:- var myStringLiteral = 'male'; // Primitive string value, not an object.
Ans:- Both will call String() constructor function
you can confirm it by run the following statement
console.log(myString.constructor, myStringLiteral.constructor);

25).What will be the output of the following statements?
Code:
var myString = 'Vikas' // Create a primitive string object.
var myStringCopy = myString; // Copy its value into a new variable.
var myString = null; // Manipulate the value
console.log(myString, myStringCopy);
Ans:- // Logs 'null Vikas'

26).Consider the following statements and tell what would be the output of the logs statements?
var price1 = 10;
var price2 = 10;
var price3 = new Number('10'); // A complex numeric object because new was used.
console.log(price1 === price2);
console.log(price1 === price3);
Ans:-
console.log(price1 === price2); // Logs true.
console.log(price1 === price3); /* Logs false because price3 contains a complex number object and price 1
is a primitive value. */

27).What would be the output of the following statements?
var object1 = { same: 'same' };
var object2 = { same: 'same' };
console.log(object1 === object2);
Ans:- // Logs false, JavaScipt does not care that they are identical and of the same object type.
When comparing complex objects, they are equal only when they reference the same
object (i.e. have the same address). Two variables containing identical objects are not
equal to each other since they do not actually point at the same object.

28).What would be the output of the following statements?
Code:
var object1 = { same: 'same' };
var object2 = object1;
console.log(object1 === object2);
Ans:- // Logs true

29).What is this?
var myArray = [[[]]];
Ans:- Three dimantional array

30).Name any two JavaScript functions which are used for convert nonnumeric values into numbers?
Ans:-
Number()
parseInt()
parseFloat()

Code:
var n1 = Number(“Hello world!”); //NaN
var n2 = Number(“”);             //0
var n3 = Number(“000010”);       //10
var n4 = Number(true);           //1
var n5 = Number(NaN);            //NaN
