literals are a concise syntax for creating values or data structures directly in code, without using constructors or variables. They represent fixed values that can be assigned to variables, used in expressions, or as part of objects/arrays. Here's a breakdown of common literals:
1. String Literals
Use quotes (', ", or `) to define text.

    Single/double quotes: 'Hello', "World".
    Template literals: `Hello ${name}` (supports interpolation).

2. Numeric Literals
Represent integers, decimals, or special forms:

    Integers: 42, 0b1010 (binary), 0xA (hex).
    Floats: 3.14, 2.5e3 (scientific notation).
    BigInt: 123n (for large integers).

3. Boolean Literals
true or false to represent logical values.
4. Object Literals
Create objects with {} syntax:

It is used to control the flow of the code.  
When the condition inside the `if` block is true, it will execute the code inside the `{}` curly braces.  
If the condition is **not** met, it will **not** run that block of code.  

If you want to run a different block of code when the `if` condition is **not** met, you can write that code inside the `else` block.

**Syntax:**

```js
if (condition) {
  // block of code that runs when condition is true
} else {
  // block of code that runs when condition is false
}
```

**Example:**

```js
if (name === "Alan") {
  console.log("Your name is Alan"); // when the condition is true
} else {
  console.log("You are not Alan"); // when the condition is false
}
```

Also, you can write another condition inside the `else` block using another `if`.  
This is useful when you want to check multiple things one after another.

**For example**, if you want to check if a person’s age is above 20, and if not, then check if they are at least 18, you can write it like this:

```js
if (age >= 20) {
  console.log("Above 20 aged");
} else {
  if (age >= 18) {
    console.log("You are aged more than 18 but not more than 20");
  }
}
```

That’s how you can use `if-else` statements. It’s a **crucial** part in every programming language and can be used in many ways — nested, non-nested, etc.


if...else Statement

**Shorthand for if-else statements**  
This is a quick way to check a condition and choose between two values.  

**Format:**  
`condition ? valueIfTrue : valueIfFalse`

**Example:**  
`age >= 18 ? "You are an adult" : "You are a minor"`

**Explanation:**  
- First, write the condition you want to check (e.g., `age >= 18`)  
- Then, after the `?`, write what should happen if the condition is true  
- After the `:`, write what should happen if the condition is false

Ternary Operator

Values considered true or false in boolean contexts.

Truthy & Falsy Values

Skips the current iteration of a loop and continues with the next one.

You can **display the current date and time in JavaScript** in a couple of simple ways. One common method is by using the **`new Date()`** function. Here, **`new`** is a keyword used to **create an instance of the `Date` object**, which is responsible for handling date and time. When you use `new Date()` alone, it returns the current date and time in **ISO format**, like:

> `"2025-04-24T09:32:45.123Z"`

However, if you want the output to be **more human-readable**, you can use:

```javascript
new Date().toString()
```

This will return something like:

> `"Thu Apr 24 2025 19:08:57 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)"`

---

Another way to work with date and time is by using **specific methods** of the Date object. These include:

- **`getDate()`** – Gets the day of the month  
- **`getMonth()`** – Gets the month (0–11, where January is 0)  
- **`getFullYear()`** – Gets the four-digit year  
- **`getHours()`**, **`getMinutes()`**, **`getSeconds()`** – Get time components

You can combine these methods to create a **custom format** like this:

```javascript
const date = new Date();
const formatted = `${date.getDate()}/${date.getMonth() + 1}/${date.getFullYear()} ${date.getHours()}:${date.getMinutes()}:${date.getSeconds()}`;
console.log(formatted);
```

This would print something like:

> `24/4/2025 19:8:57`

### What is a Pure Function?

Pure functions are the functions that follow **2 main rules**:

1. **It will give the same output for the same arguments always.**  
   Example:  
   ```js
   function test(a, b) {
     return a + b;  // 8 is the answer always when we pass 5 and 3
   }

   test(5, 3);  // always returns 8
   ```

2. **It will not make any side effects.**  
   That means:
   - It will not modify any external variables (variables that are outside the function).
   - It will not access network (like calling an API).
   - It will not access file systems.
   - It will not manipulate the DOM.

   Example of a function **not pure**:
   ```js
   let count = 0;

   function test() {
     count++;  // modifies external variable
     return count;
   }
   ```

   Example of a **pure function**:
   ```js
   function test(count) {
     return count;  // does not change anything outside
   }
   ```

---

### How Pure Functions Become Useful:

- ✅ **Predictable behavior** – If you give the same input, you always get the same output. No surprises.
- ✅ **Helps in functional programming** – Because they are independent and don’t rely on anything outside.
- ✅ **Easy to debug** – Since there are no side effects, you don’t need to worry about other parts of code affecting it.

**Deep freeze and shallow freeze are related to objects in JavaScript.**
By using shallow freeze, you can freeze an object.

Example:

```javascript
let obj = {
  name: "John",
  address: {
    Street: "221B Baker Street",
    City: "London"
  }
};
```

Here, by using `Object.freeze(obj)`, it will freeze editing the object.
But we can still edit nested key-value pairs.

For example:

* `name` is now frozen—we can't edit it using `obj.name = "new name"` ❌
* But we can still edit `obj.address.City = "New York"` ✅

This is still possible because we are editing a nested object directly—that’s called **shallow freeze**.

---

On the other hand, in **deep freeze**, we can’t edit both keys in the nested object also.
If you are using deep freeze, here we are recursively freezing each nested object—no matter how deeply nested it is.

### Deep Freeze Example:

```javascript
function deepFreeze(obj) {
  Object.freeze(obj);

  for (let key in obj) {
    if (
      obj.hasOwnProperty(key) &&
      typeof obj[key] === "object" &&
      !Object.isFrozen(obj[key])
    ) {
      deepFreeze(obj[key]);
    }
  }

  return obj;
}

let obj = {
  name: "John",
  address: {
    Street: "221B Baker Street",
    City: "London"
  }
};

deepFreeze(obj);

obj.name = "New Name";             // ❌ won't work
obj.address.City = "New York";     // ❌ won't work

console.log(obj);
```


Deep Freeze vs Shallow Freeze


Arrays where indices are not contiguous or have undefined elements.

Sparse Arrays

Arrays of arrays where each subarray can have different lengths.

Jagged Arrays

Arrays containing elements of different data types.

Heterogeneous Arrays

Array-like objects with fixed data types for binary data manipulation.

Typed Arrays

Hashmap Implementation

Publish-subscribe pattern implementation for event-driven architecture.

EventEmitter Usage

System design where components interact through events and callbacks.

Event-Driven Architecture

**Error-first callback** can be used in JavaScript, especially in the Node.js environment. When we pass callbacks in a function, in **error-first callbacks**, the **first argument** is always the **error**, followed by other things like **data, variables, etc.**

In that specific function, we **first check** if there is an error. If there’s **no error**, then only the **main code block** will run.

For example, if we are accessing a file from the local machine using the **`fs` module**, the first argument will be the error. Then we will show the main data that we accessed **only if there’s no error**.

Here’s a code example:

```js
function accessData(error, data) {
  if (error) {
    console.log(error);  // If there is an error, data access will not work
  } else {
    console.log(data, "data is accessed");  // If no error is found, then this code block will run
  }
}
```

**Error-first callback** is the safest and standard way to help with **smooth execution** of the code and to **prevent it from crashing**.


Error-First Callback Pattern

References that don't prevent garbage collection of the referenced object.

Weak References

Situation where a process is indefinitely delayed due to resource allocation.

Starvation in Concurrency

Programs that can read or modify their own code.

Meta-Programming

Line feed (LF) and carriage return + line feed (CRLF) are line ending conventions.

LF vs CRLF

### 🔁 What is the `break` statement?

The `break` statement is used to **stop a loop right away** when a certain condition is true.

---

### 🧠 Example:  
Imagine you have a `for` loop that counts numbers from **1 to 10**.  
But you want to **stop the loop** when the number reaches **6**.

---

### 💻 Code:
```js
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i == 5) {
    break; // stops the loop when i reaches 5 — till 0 to 4 the loop will work
  }
}
```

---

### 📌 What happens here?
- The loop starts from `i = 0`
- It runs again and again, increasing `i` by 1 each time
- When `i` becomes `5`, the `if (i == 5)` condition becomes **true**
- The `break` statement runs → 💥 **loop stops immediately**
- It **won’t go up to 10**, it just **stops at 5**

> ✅ So instead of going through all the numbers from 1 to 10,  
> the loop **ends early** because of the `break` statement.
