Questions and Answers

What does the nullish coalescing operator (??) primarily check for?

  • Type errors in the code
  • Only for boolean values
  • Both null and undefined (correct)
  • Empty strings or falsy values
  • Given the code const userInput = undefined; const defaultValue = 'Default'; const finalValue = userInput ?? defaultValue;, what is the value of finalValue?

  • userInput
  • null
  • undefined
  • 'Default' (correct)
  • Which statement best describes the impact of using the nullish coalescing operator in code?

  • It automatically handles all errors in the code.
  • It guarantees that all values will be transformed to strings.
  • It is only beneficial in very large applications.
  • It can reduce the complexity of the code but may lead to confusion if overused. (correct)
  • When using the nullish coalescing operator, what will happen with the expression const finalValue = 0 ?? 'Default';?

    Study Notes

    JavaScript Advanced Operators

    • Arrow Functions: Provide a concise way to write functions using the => syntax.

      • Parameters: Listed before the arrow.
      • Single-Line Expression: No return statement needed (eg., param => param * 2).
      • Code Block: Enclosed in curly braces {} with an explicit return statement.
      • this Binding: Inherit this from surrounding scope.
    • Destructuring: Unpacks values from arrays or object properties into distinct variables.

      • Arrays: Define variables to assign values from an array.
      • Objects: Define variables to assign values from object properties.
      • Rest Operator (...): Handles unassigned elements in arrays for example [first,...rest].
    • Spread Operator (...): Expands iterables (like arrays, strings) in contexts that expect multiple elements.

      • Function Calls: Used to pass array elements as individual arguments. For example console.log(Math.max(...nums)).
      • Array Initialization: Used to create new arrays containing elements from existing arrays and other elements e.g const moreNums = [...nums, 4, 5].
      • Object Creation: Used to create new objects by copying existing object properties and adding additional ones without altering the original object. For example const obj2 = {...obj1, c: 3 }.
    • Ternary Operator: Offers a compact syntax for conditional expressions.

      • Syntax: condition ? expressionIfTrue : expressionIfFalse
    • Nullish Coalescing Operator (??): Provides a concise way to assign a default value if a value is null or undefined.

      • Syntax: value ?? default
      • Returns the default value if value is null or undefined, otherwise returns value.
    • Caution: While useful for conciseness, overuse of these operators in complex combinations or long statements can hinder code readability. Consider the trade-off between fewer lines of code and easier maintenance.
