JavaScript, NodeJS & SQL Online Test

The JavaScript, NodeJS & SQL Test uses scenario-based MCQs to evaluate candidates on their proficiency in JavaScript programming language, NodeJS runtime environment, and SQL database. The test assesses candidates' understanding of topics such as event-driven programming, asynchronous programming, middleware, database connections, SQL queries, and database design principles. Candidates are evaluated on their ability to use JavaScript and NodeJS to develop server-side applications, interact with databases, design database schemas, and write optimized and secure SQL queries for data manipulation and retrieval.

Screen candidates with the highest quality questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

How we design questions

These are just a small sample from our library of 15,000+ questions. The actual questions on this JavaScript, NodeJS & SQL Test will be non-googleable.

🧐 Question
Medium Async Await Promises Promises Async-Await	Solve
What will the following code output? A: 24 after 5 seconds and after another 5 seconds, another 24 B: 24 followed by another 24 immediately C: 24 immediately and another 24 after 5 seconds D: After 5 seconds, 24 and 24 E: Undefined F: NaN G: None of these
Medium Bitcoin prices Axios Promises	Solve
Review the following JavaScript code and pick the correct options: Assume that the API returns a successful 200 response code and a JSON object as the response body. What would the value of ‘a’ be after the code is executed?
Medium My Module Scope	Solve
What will the output of the following JavaScript code be?
Medium Promise Resolve Promises Async-Await	Solve
What does the following code output?
Easy Throw, Try, Async Promises Async-Await	Solve
What does the following JS code output?
Medium I/O cycle and main module Event Loop	Solve
Review the following NodeJS code: Pick the correct statements: A: X will be logged after Y always B: Y will be logged after X always C: The order of executing timeout and immediate callbacks is non-deterministic and is bound by the performance of the process D: In this case, the function calls are scheduled in the main module and not in the I/O cycle E: In this case, the function calls are scheduled in the I/O cycle so setImmediate is always executed before any timers scheduled in the I/O phase, independently of how many timers are left
Easy Res methods	Solve
If none of the methods (res.download, res.end, res.json, res.jsonp, res.redirect, res.render, res.send, res.sendFile, res.sendStatus) are called from a route handler to terminate request response cycle, what happens to the the client request? A) Will be left hanging indefinitely B) Will get an internal server error - 500 C) Will get a service unavailable error - 503 D) Will be left hanging for a while and then request timeout error - 408
Medium Phases and Timers Event Loop	Solve
Review the following NodeJS code: Pick the correct statements: A: Adaface will be logged after Lovelace. B: Lovelace will be logged after Adaface. C: Once the asyncOpThatTakes195ms completes reading the file, it starts executing the callback which takes 10 seconds. Only after this is finished, the event loop will execute the timers that are finished. So the timeout call back will actually be executed after 205 ms even though it is scheduled to be run after 200 ms D: Once the asyncOpThatTakes195ms completes reading the file, it starts executing the callback. While executing the callback, the scheduled timer becomes ready to be executed. So the runtime executes the timer and then completes processing the callback.
Medium Multi Select JOIN GROUP BY	Solve
Consider the following SQL table: How many rows does the following SQL query return?
Medium nth highest sales Nested queries User Defined Functions	Solve
Consider the following SQL table: Which of the following SQL commands will find the ‘nth highest Sales’ if it exists (returns null otherwise)?
Medium Select & IN Nested queries	Solve
Consider the following SQL table: Which of the following SQL queries would return the year when neither a football or cricket winner was chosen?
Medium Sorting Ubers Nested queries Join Comparison operators	Solve
Consider the following SQL table: What will be the first two tuples resulting from the following SQL command?
Hard With, AVG & SUM MAX() MIN() Aggregate functions	Solve
Consider the following SQL table: How many tuples does the following query return?
Easy Registration Queue Logic Queues	Solve
We want to register students for the next semester. All students have a receipt which shows the amount pending for the previous semester. A positive amount (or zero) represents that the student has paid extra fees, and a negative amount represents that they have pending fees to be paid. The students are in a queue for the registration. We want to arrange the students in a way such that the students who have a positive amount on the receipt get registered first as compared to the students who have a negative amount. We are given a queue in the form of an array containing the pending amount. For example, if the initial queue is [20, 70, -40, 30, -10], then the final queue will be [20, 70, 30, -40, -10]. Note that the sequence of students should not be changed while arranging them unless required to meet the condition. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note: - The first line of the input is the length of the array. The second line contains all the elements of the array. - The input is already parsed into an array of "strings" and passed to a function. You will need to convert string to integer/number type inside the function. - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases. For the example discussed above, the input will be: 5 20 70 -40 30 -10 Your code needs to print the following to the standard output: 20 70 30 -40 -10
Medium Visitors Count Strings Logic	Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. Example: Input: WWMMWWCCC Expected Output: 4W3C2M Explanation: ‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note: - The input is already parsed and passed to a function. - You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases. - If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’. - If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.
