Differentiate between JavaScript and Node.js.

Javascript is a scripting language used to create and control dynamic website content,
javaScript is used for client-side scripting to make webpages interactive,
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes
JavaScript code outside of a browser.
Node.js is mainly used for server-side scripting to create web applications.

Asynchronous programming refers to the process of writing code with the intention of having
multiple operations run in parallel. This means that the program can start multiple operations
at the same time, and then wait for the results to come back. Non-blocking programming, on
the other hand, is a programming model that does not wait for results from any operation
before proceeding to the next. In non-blocking programming, the program will start an
operation and then immediately move on to the next one without waiting for the results. This
allows for a higher level of concurrency within the program

REPL (read-eval-print loop) and what are its uses?

What is the purpose of the require() function in Node.js? The require() function in Node.js is
used to include modules that exist in separate files. It allows you to include modules from
external files and use them in your application. It also allows you to include and use modules
that are installed in the node_modules directory.

1. What is Node.js? A. Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime


environment for developing a diverse variety of server-side and networking applications. 2.
What is an event loop in Node.js? A. An event loop is a mechanism that allows Node.js to
perform non-blocking I/O operations — despite the single-threaded nature of JavaScript. 3.
What is the purpose of the Node.js module system? A. The Node.js module system allows
developers to break complex applications into smaller, reusable pieces of code. It also helps
to simplify the development process by separating code into logical units. 4. What is the
purpose of the npm package manager? A. The npm package manager allows developers to
easily install, share, and manage Node.js packages. It helps developers to discover and
reuse existing code, and to keep track of project dependencies.
