2. Explain the Callbacks in JavaScript.

When you want to pass a function inside another function as an argument to complete some task, it is known as a Callback function. This callback function is invoked inside an outer or calling function to perform some kind of action.

    function greet(name) {
    alert('Hi ' + name);
    }

    function processInput(callback) {
    var name = prompt('Please enter your name.');
    callback(name);
    }

    processInput(greet);
This is an example of synchronous callback function. Next question is an example of asynchronous callback functions.

3. What is the use of Promise in JavaScript?

When you work with asynchronous programming in JavaScript, eventual completion or failure of that operation is represented as a Promise. Promise provides certain benefits as below.
  • Promise allows you to add callbacks using then(), It ensures that callbacks will never be invoked before current run completion of JavaScript event loop.
  • If you add the callbacks after the success or failure of operation that promise represents then callbacks will be invoked in any case.
  • If you want to add multiple callbacks, you can use then() function several times. All callbacks will be invoked in the same order in which they were applied.
  • When you want to perform multiple asynchronous operations one after another, you can use Promise chaining. Promise Chaining allows you to combine multiple asynchronous operations where subsequent operations use the result from the preceding operation.

3. Differentiate var and let in JavaScript?

var and let both allow you to declare variables in different ways in JavaScript. let allows you to declare some variable at block-scoped level, or expressions on which it used Whereas var allows you to declare a variable globally or locally to function rather than to a block scope. Another difference between var and let is that let variable is initialized to a value only when code executes it or parser evaluates it and var declarations are processed whenever they occur, before any parser evaluates these (It's known as hoisting). Let's understand from Example.

    function varTest() {
    var x = 4;
    {
    var x = 5;  // same variable!
    console.log(x);  // 5
    }
    console.log(x);  // 5
    }

    function letTest() {
    let x = 4;
    {
    let x = 5;  // different variable
    console.log(x);  // 5
    }
    console.log(x);  // 4
    }

For more visit let vs var.
