Chapter 1: Array Methods

JavaScript arrays are the backbone of data manipulation in web development, offering a range of powerful methods that simplify common operations on arrays. In this chapter, we will explore some of the fundamental array methods that form the building blocks of efficient and expressive JavaScript code.

1.1 forEach: Iterating through Elements

The forEach method allows you to iterate through each element of an array, applying a function to perform a specific action for each item. This method is invaluable for tasks like printing array elements, updating values, or performing any custom operation on each element.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

numbers.forEach((number) => {
  console.log(number);
});

1.2 map: Transforming Elements

The map method is used to create a new array by applying a transformation function to each element of the original array. This is particularly useful when you want to modify or derive a new array based on the existing one.

const doubledNumbers = numbers.map((number) => {
  return number * 2;
});

console.log(doubledNumbers); // [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

1.3 filter: Selecting Elements

When you need to selectively extract elements from an array based on a condition, the filter method comes to the rescue. It creates a new array containing only the elements that meet the specified criteria.

const evenNumbers = numbers.filter((number) => {
  return number % 2 === 0;
});

console.log(evenNumbers); // [2, 4]

1.4 reduce: Aggregating Values

The reduce method is powerful for aggregating values in an array into a single result. It takes a callback function that combines each element with an accumulator, ultimately reducing the array to a single value.

const sum = numbers.reduce((accumulator, current) => {
  return accumulator + current;
}, 0);

console.log(sum); // 15

Understanding and mastering these array methods provides a solid foundation for manipulating arrays in JavaScript. Whether you're iterating through elements, transforming data, selecting specific items, or aggregating values, these methods will be your go-to tools for efficient and expressive array manipulation. As we move forward, we'll explore additional techniques and advanced concepts to further enhance your JavaScript skills.

Chapter 2: Maps and Filters

Building on our understanding of array methods, let's delve deeper into the transformative capabilities of map and filter. These methods provide elegant solutions for modifying arrays and selectively extracting elements based on specific criteria.

2.1 map: Transforming Elements

The map method, revisited from Chapter 1, is a versatile tool for transforming each element of an array. It returns a new array, leaving the original array unchanged. This is especially handy when you need to create a modified version of an array without altering the original data.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

const squaredNumbers = numbers.map((number) => {
  return number ** 2;
});

console.log(squaredNumbers); // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

In this example, map is used to square each number in the array, resulting in a new array of squared values.

2.2 filter: Selecting Elements

The filter method, also introduced in Chapter 1, excels at selectively extracting elements from an array based on a specified condition. It creates a new array containing only the elements that meet the defined criteria.

const evenNumbers = numbers.filter((number) => {
  return number % 2 === 0;
});

console.log(evenNumbers); // [2, 4]

Here, filter is applied to extract only the even numbers from the original array, producing a new array with those specific elements.

2.3 Combining map and filter

The real power emerges when you combine these methods to perform complex transformations on arrays. For instance, let's say we want to square the even numbers in the array:

const squaredEvenNumbers = numbers
  .filter((number) => number % 2 === 0)
  .map((evenNumber) => evenNumber ** 2);

console.log(squaredEvenNumbers); // [4, 16]

In this example, we first use filter to extract the even numbers and then apply map to square each of them. The result is a new array with the squared values of the even numbers.

Understanding the synergy between map and filter opens up a world of possibilities for manipulating arrays in JavaScript. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring more advanced array manipulation techniques, providing you with a comprehensive toolkit for handling diverse data scenarios in your JavaScript applications.

Chapter 3: Every and Some

In this chapter, we'll explore the array methods every and some, which are powerful tools for array validation and determining whether specific conditions are met by the elements within an array.

3.1 every: Array-wide Validation

The every method is used to check whether every element in an array satisfies a given condition. It returns true if the condition holds for all elements and false otherwise.

const numbers = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10];

const allEven = numbers.every((number) => {
  return number % 2 === 0;
});

console.log(allEven); // true

In this example, every is employed to verify if all numbers in the array are even. Since the condition holds for every element, the result is true.

3.2 some: Existence of Some Elements

On the other hand, the some method checks whether at least one element in the array satisfies a given condition. It returns true if any element meets the condition and false otherwise.

const hasOddNumber = numbers.some((number) => {
  return number % 2 !== 0;
});

console.log(hasOddNumber); // false

In this case, some is utilized to determine if there is at least one odd number in the array. Since all elements are even, the result is false.

3.3 Practical Example: Checking for Inclusivity

Combining every and some can be particularly useful in real-world scenarios. Consider a situation where you want to check if an array of ages includes only adults (ages 18 and above) or if there's at least one adult in the array:

const ages = [25, 30, 17, 22, 19];

const allAdults = ages.every((age) => age >= 18);
const someAdults = ages.some((age) => age >= 18);

console.log(allAdults); // false
console.log(someAdults); // true

In this example, every checks if all ages are 18 or older (resulting in false), while some verifies if there's at least one adult in the array (resulting in true).

Understanding and applying every and some allows you to perform array-wide validations efficiently, making your code more robust and adaptable to various data scenarios. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring additional array methods and advanced JavaScript techniques to further enhance your skills in array manipulation.

Chapter 4: Reduce Method

In this chapter, we'll explore the reduce method, a versatile tool for aggregating values in an array and deriving a single result. Understanding and mastering reduce can significantly enhance your ability to process and analyze data efficiently.

4.1 Basic Usage

The reduce method takes a callback function and an optional initial value (accumulator). It iterates over each element in the array, applying the callback function to the current element and the accumulator. The result becomes the new accumulator for the next iteration.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

const sum = numbers.reduce((accumulator, current) => {
  return accumulator + current;
}, 0);

console.log(sum); // 15

In this example, reduce is used to calculate the sum of all numbers in the array. The accumulator starts at 0 and is gradually incremented by each element in the array.

4.2 Practical Example: Finding the Maximum Value

One common application of reduce is finding the maximum value in an array. By comparing each element with the current maximum, you can iteratively update the accumulator to track the maximum value.

const maxValue = numbers.reduce((max, current) => {
  return current > max ? current : max;
}, numbers[0]);

console.log(maxValue); // 5

Here, reduce is employed to find the maximum value in the array. The initial value for the accumulator is set to the first element of the array (numbers[0]).

4.3 Combining with Other Array Methods

reduce can be combined with other array methods, such as filter and map, to perform complex data manipulations. Let's consider an example where we want to find the sum of the squares of even numbers in an array:

const sumOfSquaresOfEvens = numbers
  .filter((number) => number % 2 === 0)
  .reduce((sum, current) => sum + current ** 2, 0);

console.log(sumOfSquaresOfEvens); // 20

In this example, we first use filter to extract even numbers, and then reduce is applied to find the sum of their squares.

Understanding the intricacies of the reduce method empowers you to elegantly aggregate values in arrays, providing a powerful tool for data analysis and manipulation. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring additional array methods and advanced JavaScript techniques to further broaden your array manipulation skills.

Chapter 5: Maximum in Array

In this chapter, we'll explore various approaches to finding the maximum value in an array. Identifying the maximum element is a common task in programming, and understanding different methods for achieving this goal can enhance your problem-solving skills.

5.1 Using a Loop

A straightforward approach to finding the maximum value is by using a simple loop. Iterate through each element of the array, compare it with the current maximum, and update the maximum if the current element is larger.

const numbers = [3, 7, 2, 10, 5];
let max = numbers[0];

for (let i = 1; i < numbers.length; i++) {
  if (numbers[i] > max) {
    max = numbers[i];
  }
}

console.log(max); // 10

In this example, we initialize max with the first element of the array and iterate through the rest, updating max when a larger element is encountered.

5.2 Using the Math.max Function

JavaScript provides a convenient function, Math.max, that can be used to find the maximum value in an array. However, this method requires the use of the spread operator (...) to pass the array elements as arguments to the function.

const numbers = [3, 7, 2, 10, 5];
const max = Math.max(...numbers);

console.log(max); // 10

Here, the spread operator is used to pass the array elements as individual arguments to Math.max, effectively finding the maximum value.

5.3 Using the reduce Method

As discussed in Chapter 4, the reduce method can also be employed to find the maximum value in an array by iteratively comparing elements.

const numbers = [3, 7, 2, 10, 5];
const max = numbers.reduce((max, current) => (current > max ? current : max), numbers[0]);

console.log(max); // 10

In this example, reduce is used to compare each element with the current maximum, updating the maximum value accordingly.

Understanding these different approaches provides you with flexibility in choosing the method that best fits your specific scenario. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring additional array methods and JavaScript techniques to further refine your skills in array manipulation.

Chapter 6: Default Parameters

In this chapter, we'll delve into the concept of default parameters in JavaScript functions. Default parameters allow you to assign default values to function parameters, providing flexibility and enhancing the usability of your functions.

6.1 Introduction to Default Parameters

Default parameters enable you to define default values for function parameters. If a parameter is not provided when the function is called, the default value is used. This is particularly useful when you want to make a function more robust and capable of handling various scenarios.

function greet(name, greeting = 'Hello') {
  console.log(`${greeting}, ${name}!`);
}

greet('John'); // Hello, John!
greet('Alice', 'Hi'); // Hi, Alice!

In this example, the greet function has a default parameter greeting set to 'Hello'. If the greeting parameter is not provided, it defaults to 'Hello'. When calling the function with only the name parameter, it uses the default greeting. If a custom greeting is provided, it takes precedence.

6.2 Default Parameters with Undefined or Null Values

Default parameters can also handle cases where undefined or null is explicitly passed as an argument.

function calculateDiscount(price, discount = 0.1) {
  const discountedPrice = price - price * discount;
  console.log(`Discounted Price: $${discountedPrice}`);
}

calculateDiscount(100); // Discounted Price: $90
calculateDiscount(100, undefined); // Discounted Price: $90
calculateDiscount(100, null); // Discounted Price: $100

In this example, the discount parameter defaults to 0.1 if not provided. Even if undefined or null is passed explicitly, the default value is used.

6.3 Default Parameters and Function Expressions

Default parameters are not limited to traditional function declarations; they can also be applied to function expressions.

const greet = function(name, greeting = 'Hello') {
  console.log(`${greeting}, ${name}!`);
};

greet('Jane'); // Hello, Jane!
greet('Bob', 'Hola'); // Hola, Bob!

Here, the function expression greet utilizes default parameters in the same way as the earlier function declaration.

Understanding how to leverage default parameters enhances the versatility of your functions and improves the overall usability of your code. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring more JavaScript features and techniques to further empower your programming capabilities.

Chapter 7: Spread Operator

In this chapter, we'll explore the powerful spread operator in JavaScript, a versatile tool that simplifies array and object manipulations. The spread operator allows you to unpack elements from arrays and properties from objects, making your code more concise and readable.

7.1 Unpacking Array Elements

The spread operator (...) is commonly used to unpack elements from one array into another. This is useful for combining or copying arrays easily.

const fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange'];
const moreFruits = ['kiwi', 'mango'];

const combinedFruits = [...fruits, ...moreFruits];
console.log(combinedFruits);
// Output: ['apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'kiwi', 'mango']

Here, the spread operator is used to unpack elements from both fruits and moreFruits arrays, creating a new array (combinedFruits) that contains all the elements.

7.2 Spreading Elements in Function Arguments

The spread operator is also valuable when working with function arguments. It allows you to pass elements from an array as individual arguments to a function.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

const sum = (a, b, c, d, e) => a + b + c + d + e;
const result = sum(...numbers);

console.log(result); // Output: 15

In this example, the elements of the numbers array are spread as individual arguments to the sum function, simplifying the code and making it more readable.

7.3 Copying Arrays

The spread operator provides a concise way to create copies of arrays.

const originalArray = [1, 2, 3];
const copiedArray = [...originalArray];

console.log(copiedArray); // Output: [1, 2, 3]

Here, the spread operator is used to create a new array (copiedArray) with the same elements as originalArray. This ensures that modifications to one array do not affect the other.

7.4 Spreading Strings

The spread operator is not limited to arrays; it can also be used with strings.

const str = 'Hello';
const letters = [...str];

console.log(letters); // Output: ['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']

In this example, the characters of the string str are spread into an array, creating an array of letters.

Understanding how to leverage the spread operator enhances your ability to work with arrays and simplifies various coding tasks. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring additional uses of the spread operator with array and object literals.

Chapter 8: Spread (Array Literal)

Continuing our exploration of the spread operator, this chapter focuses on its application specifically within array literals. The spread operator provides a concise and powerful way to manipulate arrays, allowing for more expressive and readable code.

8.1 Unpacking Array Elements into Array Literal

One of the primary use cases of the spread operator in array literals is to unpack elements from one array and include them in another array.

const fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange'];
const moreFruits = ['kiwi', 'mango'];

const combinedFruits = ['pear', ...fruits, 'grape', ...moreFruits];
console.log(combinedFruits);
// Output: ['pear', 'apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'grape', 'kiwi', 'mango']

Here, the elements of both fruits and moreFruits arrays are spread within a new array literal (combinedFruits). This concise syntax allows for the creation of a new array with specified additional elements.

8.2 Creating Copies with Modified Elements

The spread operator in array literals is especially useful when creating modified copies of arrays.

const originalArray = [1, 2, 3];
const modifiedArray = [...originalArray, 4, 5];

console.log(modifiedArray); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

In this example, the spread operator is used within an array literal to create a new array (modifiedArray) that includes all elements from originalArray and adds two more elements.

8.3 Concatenating Arrays

The spread operator simplifies the process of concatenating multiple arrays into a new array literal.

const array1 = [1, 2, 3];
const array2 = [4, 5, 6];
const concatenatedArray = [...array1, ...array2];

console.log(concatenatedArray); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Here, the spread operator is used to concatenate the elements of array1 and array2 into a new array (concatenatedArray).

8.4 Practical Use in Function Arguments

The spread operator within array literals is often used in function arguments, providing a clean way to pass array elements individually.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

const sum = (a, b, c, d, e) => a + b + c + d + e;
const result = sum(...numbers);

console.log(result); // Output: 15

This example, mentioned earlier, showcases how the spread operator simplifies the passing of array elements as individual arguments to a function.

Understanding how to effectively use the spread operator within array literals empowers you to write more concise and expressive code. As we progress through this guide, we'll further explore the versatility of the spread operator, including its application with object literals.

Chapter 9: Spread (Objects Literals)

Building upon our exploration of the spread operator, this chapter focuses on its application within object literals in JavaScript. The spread operator for objects allows for concise object manipulation, making it easier to merge, clone, and update objects.

9.1 Merging Objects

One of the primary uses of the spread operator with object literals is to merge the properties of multiple objects into a new object.

const person = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
const address = { city: 'New York', country: 'USA' };

const mergedPerson = { ...person, ...address };
console.log(mergedPerson);
// Output: { name: 'John', age: 30, city: 'New York', country: 'USA' }

In this example, the spread operator is used to merge the properties of the person and address objects into a new object (mergedPerson).

9.2 Creating Copies with Modified Properties

Similar to arrays, the spread operator in object literals is valuable when creating modified copies of objects.

const originalObject = { a: 1, b: 2 };
const modifiedObject = { ...originalObject, c: 3, d: 4 };

console.log(modifiedObject);
// Output: { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4 }

Here, the spread operator is used within an object literal to create a new object (modifiedObject) that includes all properties from originalObject and adds two more properties.

9.3 Overriding Object Properties

The spread operator allows you to override properties when creating a new object. Properties specified later in the object literal take precedence.

const defaultSettings = { theme: 'light', fontSize: 14 };
const userSettings = { fontSize: 16, isAdmin: true };

const finalSettings = { ...defaultSettings, ...userSettings };
console.log(finalSettings);
// Output: { theme: 'light', fontSize: 16, isAdmin: true }

In this example, the spread operator is used to combine defaultSettings and userSettings, with the fontSize property from userSettings taking precedence.

9.4 Practical Use in Function Arguments

The spread operator within object literals is often used in function arguments, providing a clean way to pass object properties individually.

const user = { id: 1, username: 'john_doe', email: 'john@example.com' };

const createUser = ({ id, ...rest }) => {
  console.log(`Creating user with ID ${id} and additional details:`, rest);
};

createUser(user);
// Output: Creating user with ID 1 and additional details: { username: 'john_doe', email: 'john@example.com' }

In this example, the spread operator is used to destructure the user object in the function argument, extracting the id property separately.

Understanding how to effectively use the spread operator within object literals enhances your ability to manipulate objects in a concise and readable manner. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring additional features and techniques to further enhance your JavaScript skills.

Chapter 10: Rest Parameter

In this chapter, we'll explore the rest parameter in JavaScript, a powerful feature that allows functions to accept an arbitrary number of arguments as an array. The rest parameter simplifies function definitions and provides flexibility when working with variable argument lists.

10.1 Introduction to Rest Parameter

The rest parameter is denoted by three dots (...) followed by a parameter name and allows a function to accept multiple arguments and treat them as an array. This is particularly useful when the number of arguments is not known in advance.

function sum(...numbers) {
  return numbers.reduce((acc, num) => acc + num, 0);
}

console.log(sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)); // Output: 15

In this example, the sum function uses the rest parameter (...numbers) to accept any number of arguments, and the reduce method is then applied to calculate the sum.

10.2 Combining Rest Parameter with Other Parameters

The rest parameter can be combined with other parameters in a function, allowing for a flexible and comprehensive parameter list.

function displayInfo(name, age, ...hobbies) {
  console.log(`${name} is ${age} years old and likes ${hobbies.join(', ')}.`);
}

displayInfo('Alice', 25, 'reading', 'painting', 'traveling');
// Output: Alice is 25 years old and likes reading, painting, traveling.

Here, the rest parameter (...hobbies) is used after name and age parameters, allowing the function to accept any number of hobbies.

10.3 Rest Parameter and Function Expressions

The rest parameter is not limited to traditional function declarations and can also be used with function expressions.

const average = (...numbers) => {
  const sum = numbers.reduce((acc, num) => acc + num, 0);
  return sum / numbers.length;
};

console.log(average(2, 4, 6, 8, 10)); // Output: 6

In this example, the rest parameter is employed in a function expression (average), demonstrating its flexibility across different function syntaxes.

10.4 Practical Use with Destructuring

Rest parameters can be used in conjunction with destructuring to handle complex data structures more easily.

function processUserData(username, email, ...details) {
  const [age, city] = details;
  console.log(`${username} (${email}) is ${age} years old and lives in ${city}.`);
}

processUserData('JohnDoe', 'john@example.com', 30, 'New York');
// Output: JohnDoe (john@example.com) is 30 years old and lives in New York.

Here, the rest parameter is combined with destructuring to extract specific details from the variable argument list.

Understanding and leveraging the rest parameter in your functions provides a powerful tool for handling variable argument scenarios in a clean and concise manner. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring more JavaScript features and techniques to further enhance your programming capabilities.

Chapter 11: Destructuring

In this chapter, we'll explore the concept of destructuring in JavaScript, a powerful feature that allows you to extract values from arrays or properties from objects in a concise and expressive way.

11.1 Destructuring Arrays

Destructuring arrays enables you to unpack values from an array and assign them to variables in a single, readable line.

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

const [first, second, ...rest] = numbers;

console.log(first); // Output: 1
console.log(second); // Output: 2
console.log(rest); // Output: [3, 4, 5]

In this example, the variables first and second are assigned the values of the first and second elements of the array, respectively, while the rest of the elements are captured in the array rest.

11.2 Destructuring Objects

Destructuring objects allows you to extract properties and assign them to variables with the same names.

const person = { name: 'Alice', age: 28, city: 'Wonderland' };

const { name, age, city } = person;

console.log(name); // Output: Alice
console.log(age); // Output: 28
console.log(city); // Output: Wonderland

Here, the variables name, age, and city are assigned the corresponding values from the person object.

11.3 Default Values

Destructuring also supports default values, which are used when the extracted value is undefined.

const person = { name: 'Bob', age: 30 };

const { name, age, city = 'Unknown' } = person;

console.log(city); // Output: Unknown

In this example, the city property is not present in the person object, so the default value 'Unknown' is used.

11.4 Nested Destructuring

Destructuring can be applied to nested structures, both in arrays and objects.

const nestedArray = [1, [2, 3], 4];
const [, [secondElement]] = nestedArray;

console.log(secondElement); // Output: 3

Here, the nested array is destructured to extract the second element inside the nested array.

11.5 Practical Use in Function Parameters

Destructuring is commonly used in function parameters to enhance readability and simplify code.

function printUserDetails({ name, age, city }) {
  console.log(`${name} is ${age} years old and lives in ${city}.`);
}

const user = { name: 'Charlie', age: 25, city: 'Metropolis' };
printUserDetails(user);
// Output: Charlie is 25 years old and lives in Metropolis.

In this example, the function parameter is destructured directly in the function signature, making it clear what properties are expected.

Destructuring is a versatile feature that simplifies code and improves readability, providing a concise syntax for working with complex data structures. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring additional features and techniques to further enhance your JavaScript skills.

Chapter 12: Destructuring (Objects)

Continuing our exploration of destructuring, this chapter will specifically focus on advanced techniques and use cases when destructuring objects in JavaScript.

12.1 Aliasing

Destructuring allows you to assign extracted values to variables with different names, providing a form of aliasing.

const person = { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe' };

const { firstName: fName, lastName: lName } = person;

console.log(fName); // Output: John
console.log(lName); // Output: Doe

In this example, the properties firstName and lastName are aliased as fName and lName, respectively.

12.2 Skipping Properties

Destructuring also allows you to skip properties that you're not interested in.

const book = { title: 'JavaScript Explained', author: 'Jane Doe', genre: 'Programming' };

const { title, genre } = book;

console.log(title); // Output: JavaScript Explained
console.log(genre); // Output: Programming

Here, the author property is skipped during destructuring as it's not needed.

12.3 Dynamic Property Names

You can use variables as property names when destructuring objects dynamically.

const dynamicKey = 'age';
const person = { name: 'Alice', age: 28 };

const { name, [dynamicKey]: age } = person;

console.log(name); // Output: Alice
console.log(age); // Output: 28

In this example, the property name is dynamically determined by the dynamicKey variable.

12.4 Combining with Rest Syntax

The rest syntax can be combined with object destructuring to capture remaining properties in a new object.

const person = { name: 'Bob', age: 30, city: 'Unknown' };

const { name, ...details } = person;

console.log(name); // Output: Bob
console.log(details); // Output: { age: 30, city: 'Unknown' }

Here, the details object captures the remaining properties after extracting the name property.

12.5 Destructuring Parameters in Functions

Destructuring is commonly used in function parameters, offering a concise way to extract values from objects passed as arguments.

function printUserDetails({ name, age, city = 'Unknown' }) {
  console.log(`${name} is ${age} years old and lives in ${city}.`);
}

const user = { name: 'Charlie', age: 25 };
printUserDetails(user);
// Output: Charlie is 25 years old and lives in Unknown.

This example demonstrates destructuring in function parameters, with a default value provided for the city property.

Understanding these advanced techniques in object destructuring enhances your ability to work with complex data structures in JavaScript. As we progress through this guide, we'll continue exploring additional features and techniques to further broaden your JavaScript skills.

Chapter 13: Practice Questions

In this chapter, we'll dive into a set of practice questions to reinforce and apply the concepts covered in the previous chapters. These questions are designed to test your understanding of JavaScript features, including array methods, spread operators, default parameters, and destructuring.

Question 1: Array Methods

Given the array numbers = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10], use the appropriate array method to create a new array that contains the squares of each number.

Question 2: Spread Operator

Create a function mergeArrays that takes two arrays as arguments and uses the spread operator to return a new array that combines the elements of both arrays.

Question 3: Default Parameters

Write a function greetUser that takes a name parameter and a greeting parameter with a default value of 'Hello'. The function should return a greeting message using the provided name and greeting.

Question 4: Rest Parameter

Create a function calculateAverage that uses the rest parameter to accept any number of arguments (representing numbers) and returns the average of those numbers.

Question 5: Destructuring Objects

Given the object student = { name: 'Alice', age: 22, grade: 'A' }, use destructuring to extract the name and grade properties into variables.

Question 6: Combining Features

Write a function processData that takes an object with properties numbers (an array of numbers) and operation (a function). The function should use destructuring to extract the properties and apply the operation to the numbers, returning the result.

Question 7: Spread in Function Arguments

Create a function multiply that takes three parameters (a, b, and c) and returns the product of the three numbers. Use the spread operator to allow the function to be called with an array of three numbers.

Question 8: Default Parameters and Destructuring

Write a function createPerson that takes an object parameter with properties name and age and uses default parameters to set a default value of 'Unknown' for the name property. The function should then use destructuring to extract the properties and return a formatted string.

Question 9: Nested Destructuring

Given the nested object company = { name: 'ABC Corp', location: { city: 'New York', country: 'USA' } }, use nested destructuring to extract the name, city, and country properties into variables.

Question 10: Spread in Object Literals

Create two objects: person with properties name and age, and address with properties city and country. Use the spread operator within object literals to create a third object (user) that combines the properties of both person and address.

These practice questions cover a range of JavaScript features and techniques. Take your time to solve each question and check your solutions to solidify your understanding of the concepts discussed in the previous chapters.
