Advanced Functions Quiz

Test Yourself !

This quiz builds on the basic functions quiz.

It focuses on this, call(), apply(), bind(), closures, and function references.

Note

If you need a refresher, try the basic quiz first:

JavaScript Functions Quiz.

Question 1

What does person.getName() return?

const person = {
  name: "John",
  getName: function() {

};

person.getName();

const person = { name: "John" };
function getName() { return this.name; }
  • A. getName(person)
  • B. getName.call(person)
  • C. getName.apply = person

Question 4

What is the main difference between call() and apply()?

  • A. call() returns a value, apply() does not
  • B. call() takes arguments as a list, apply() takes arguments as an array
  • C. apply() is faster than call()

Question 5

}

add.apply(null, [4, 5]);
  • A. 9
  • B. [4, 5]
  • C. null

Question 6

What does bind() do?

  • A. Calls a function immediately
  • B. Creates a new function with a fixed this value
  • C. Converts a function into an arrow function

Question 7

What is stored in getJohn?

function greet() {
  return "Hello " + this.name;
}

const person = { name: "John" };
const getJohn = greet.bind(person);
  • A. The string "Hello John"
  • B. A new function
  • C. The person object

Question 8

What does this code return on the second call?

function counter() {
  let count = 0;
  return function() {
    count++;
    return count;
  };
}

const c = counter();
c();
c();
  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 0

Question 9

Which statement best describes a closure?

  • A. A function that runs immediately
  • B. A function that remembers variables from its outer scope
  • C. A function that always returns an object

Question 10

What is the difference between passing a function and calling a function?

function sayHello() { return "Hello"; }

function run(fn) { return fn(); }

run(sayHello);
  • A. sayHello is passed, sayHello() is called
  • B. sayHello() is passed, sayHello is called
  • C. There is no difference

Answers


Question 1

Answer: A

Explanation: In an object method, this refers to the owner object.

Question 2

Answer: B

Explanation: When the method is called as a plain function, this is not the object anymore.

Question 3

Answer: B.

Explanation: call() calls the function with a chosen this value.

Question 4

Answer: B.

Explanation: Both set this, but they pass arguments differently.

Question 5

Answer: A.

Explanation: The array values become the function arguments.

Question 6

Answer: B.

Explanation: bind() returns a new function you can call later.

Question 7

Answer: B.

Explanation: bind() does not call the function, it returns a new function.

Question 8

Answer: B.

Explanation: The inner function remembers count (closure).

Question 9

Answer: B.

Explanation: Closures allow functions to remember scope even after the outer function finishes.

Question 10

Answer: A.

Explanation: sayHello is a function reference. sayHello() executes the function.

Quiz Result

If you answered most questions correctly, you understand advanced function concepts.

If not, review the advanced chapters and try again.

Tip:

Advanced JavaScript becomes easier when you understand how this works.

Then call(), apply(), and bind() will make much more sense.
