Do You Really Know JavaScript? Let’s Put It to the Test ⁉️

  • JavaScript has hidden bugs that can easily creep into your code, challenging even experienced developers.
  • Common bugs include `NaN`, type coercion with loose equality operator, hoisting, and the dynamic behavior of `this`.
  • To check for `NaN`, use `isNaN()` or `Number.isNaN()`, not typical equality checks like `=== NaN`.
  • Always use strict equality operator (`===`) to prevent type coercion issues.
  • Avoid hoisting bugs by using `let` or `const` instead of `var`.
  • JavaScript's `this` behavior can lead to unexpected bugs; use arrow functions or explicit binding to manage it.
  • Be cautious with floating-point arithmetic to prevent rounding errors; consider using `toFixed()` or `Math.round()`.
  • Objects in JavaScript are reference types, so be aware of unintended side effects when mutating objects.
  • When working with asynchronous code inside loops, using `setTimeout` can lead to unexpected results.
  • Understanding these hidden bugs in JavaScript can help developers write cleaner and more reliable code.
