πŸ‘‹ Hey JavaScript enthusiasts!

Welcome to my JavaScript Interview Questions Series, where I’ll break down must-know JS concepts with real-world examples & use cases.

πŸ“Œ Every day, I’ll post 2 questions with:
βœ”οΈ Clear explanations
βœ”οΈ Code snippets (no boring theory!)
βœ”οΈ Real-world applications

Let’s level up your JavaScript knowledge! πŸš€

Understanding JavaScript: Template Literals & Default Parameters Explained

🟒 Day 1 β€” JavaScript Essentials

Q1: What are Template Literals in JavaScript?

πŸ’‘ Template literals (introduced in ES6) allow you to create multi-line strings & embed expressions easily using backticks (`) instead of quotes (β€˜ or β€œ).

πŸš€ Why Use Template Literals?
βœ… String interpolation β€” No more messy concatenation
βœ… Multi-line strings β€” Readable & clean
βœ… Dynamic expressions β€” Embed variables inside

πŸ”Ή Example: Old Way vs. Template Literals

// πŸ›‘ Before (ES5)
let name = "Monu";
console.log("Hello, " + name + "! Welcome to JavaScript.");

// βœ… Now (ES6)
console.log(`Hello, ${name}! Welcome to JavaScript.`);

🌍 Real-World Use Case: Dynamic UI Updates

If you’re building a React app, template literals make dynamic rendering super easy:

const username = "Alice";
const message = `Welcome back, ${username}!`;
return <h1>{message}</h1>;

βœ… Cleaner JSX
βœ… Easy variable injection
βœ… Better readability

πŸ‘‰ Use template literals to simplify your code!

🟒 Q2: How Do Default Parameters Work in JavaScript?

πŸ’‘ Default parameters allow functions to have default values when arguments are missing.

πŸš€ Why Use Default Parameters?
βœ… Avoid undefined values
βœ… Write cleaner functions
βœ… Prevent errors from missing arguments
