Answer: D
With both, we can pass the object to which we want the this keyword to refer to. However, .call is also executed immediately!
.bind. returns a copy of the function, but with a bound context! It is not executed immediately.
34. What's the output?

function sayHi() {
return (() => 0)();
}
console.log(typeof sayHi());

34. What's the output? function sayHi() { return (() => 0)(); } console.log(typeof sayHi());
Answer: B
The sayHi function returns the returned value of the immediately invoked function expression (IIFE). This function returned 0, which is type "number".
FYI: typeof can return the following list of values: undefined, boolean, number, bigint, string, symbol, function and object. Note that typeof null returns "object".

A: 0, '', undefined
B: 0, new Number(0), '', new Boolean(false), undefined
C: 0, '', new Boolean(false), undefined
D: All of them are falsy

37. What's the output?

const numbers = [1, 2, 3]; numbers[10] = 11; console.log(numbers);
Answer: C
When you set a value to an element in an array that exceeds the length of the array, JavaScript creates something called "empty slots". These actually have the value of undefined, but you will see something like:
[1, 2, 3, empty x 7, 11]
depending on where you run it (it's different for every browser, node, etc.)
38. What's the output?

(() => {
let x, y;
try {
throw new Error();
} catch (x) {
(x = 1), (y = 2);
console.log(x);
}
console.log(x); console.log(y);
})();


A: 1 undefined 2
B: undefined undefined undefined
C: 1 1 2
D: 1 undefined undefined

38. What's the output? (() => { let x, y; try { throw new Error(); } catch (x) { (x = 1), (y = 2); console.log(x); } console.log(x); console.log(y); })(); A: 1 undefined 2 B: undefined undefined undefined C: 1 1 2 D: 1 undefined undefined
Answer: A
The catch block receives the argument x. This is not the same x as the variable when we pass arguments. This variable x is block-scoped.
Later, we set this block-scoped variable equal to 1, and set the value of the variable y. Now, we log the block-scoped variable x, which is equal to 1.
Outside of the catch block, x is still undefined, and y is 2. When we want to console.log(x) outside of the catch block, it returns undefined, and y returns 2.

39. Everything in JavaScript is either ....
Answer: A
JavaScript only has primitive types and objects.
Primitive types are boolean, null, undefined, bigint, number, string, and symbol.
What differentiates a primitive from an object is that primitives do not have any properties or methods; however, you'll note that 'foo'.toUpperCase() evaluates to 'FOO' and does not result in a TypeError. This is because when you try to access a property or method on a primitive like a string, JavaScript will implicitly wrap the primitive type using one of the wrapper classes, i.e. String, and then immediately discard the wrapper after the expression evaluates. All primitives except for null and undefined exhibit this behaviour.
