    }, j * 1000);
  })(j);
}

while (var i=1; i<=4; i++) {

Q12. You need to match a time value such as 12:00:32. Which of the following regular expressions would work for your code?

/[0-9]{2,}:[0-9]{2,}:[0-9]{2,}/
/\d\d:\d\d:\d\d/
/[0-9]+:[0-9]+:[0-9]+/
/ : : /

NOTE: The first three are all partially correct and will match digits, but the second option is the most correct because it will only match 2 digit time values (12:00:32). The first option would have worked if the repitions range looked like [0-9]{2}, however because of the comma [0-9]{2,} it will select 2 or more digits (120:000:321). The third option will any range of time digits, single and multiple (meaning 1:2:3 will also match).

Q35. Why is it usually better to work with Objects instead of Arrays to store a collection of records?

Objects are more efficient in terms of storage.
Adding a record to an object is significantly faster than pushing a record into an array.
Most operations involve looking up a record, and objects can do that better than arrays.
Working with objects makes the code more readable.

Explanation: Records in an object can be retrieved using their key which can be any given value (e.g. an employee ID, a city name, etc), whereas to retrieve a record from an array we need to know its index.

Q57. Which choice is an incorrect way to define an arrow function that returns an empty object?

=> {}
=> { return {};}
=> (({}))

Q58. Why might you choose to make your code asynchronous?

to start tasks that might take some time without blocking subsequent tasks from executing immediately
to ensure that tasks further down in your code are not initiated until earlier tasks have completed
to make your code faster
to ensure that the call stack maintains a LIFO (Last in, First Out) structure

EXPLANATION: "to ensure that tasks further down in your code are not initiated until earlier tasks have completed" you use the normal (synchronous) flow where each command is executed sequentially. Asynchronous code allows you to break this sequence: start a long running function (AJAX call to an external service) and continue running the rest of the code in parallel.

const foo = {
  bar() {
    console.log('Hello, world!');
  },
  name: 'Albert',

};

The function bar needs to be defined as a key/value pair.
Trailing commas are not allowed in JavaScript.
Functions cannot be declared as properties of objects.
Nothing, there are no errors.

The forEach() methods returns a new array with a transformation applied on each item in the original array, wheras the map() method iterates through an array with noreturn value.

const dessert = { type: 'pie' };
dessert.type = 'pudding';

const seconds = dessert;
seconds.type = 'fruit';

pie
fruit

Q92. Which statement is applicable to the defer attribute af the HTML <script> tag?

defer causes the script ta be loaded from the backup content delivery network (CDN).
defer allows the browser ta continue processing the page while the script loads in the background.
defer blacks the browser from processing HTML below the tag until the script is completely loaded.
defer lazy loads the script, causing it to download only when it is called by another script on the page.
