How to access all properties and methods of object

for(var key in localStorage) {
    console.log (localStorage[key]);
}

Explain closures

Using closures, we can hide inner details of function and also create public and private methods A pattern often used in place of an object with a single method, is to take advantage of closure by creating a function that returns an inner function. That inner function will have access to any variables defined in the outer function, without ever exposing those variables to a larger scope. all public methods should be returned in outer function and private methods should not be returned. public methods will access private variables and methods using closure concept.

Explain Prototypes

//prototypes

var parent = { property: 2 };

//here child object is created using parent's prototype so child will inherit properties of parent
var child = Object.create(parent);  
console.log(child.property);  

child.property = 3;
console.log(child.property);  

delete child.property;
console.log(child.property);  

difference between == and ===

=== check the equality of value and type. e.g "2"==2 is true but "2"===2 is false.

output of 1+2+"3" and "1"+2+3

1+2+"3" and "1"+2+3 will have different output - 33 and 123 respectively.

undefined vs null

All unassigned variables will have a default value of undefined. null is a object. We can delete the object reference by setting variable to null.

delete element in array

//delete an element in array

function removeAllElements(array, elem) {
    var index = array.indexOf(elem);
    while (index > -1) {
        array.splice(index, 1);
        index = array.indexOf(elem);
    }
}
