    Closures are one of the core features of JavaScript that every developer needs to understand. You not only need to know what they are and how they work, but you also need to have a deep understanding of various niche behaviors of closures since many jobs will ask you complex interview questions on closures. In this video I will cover what closures are, how they work, and multiple example interview questions so you can be prepared for whatever gets thrown at you.

    I use one type closure all the time, combined with promises, when I have to execute a function on an array of data asynchronously, all you have to do is return a promise with a function, inside create a couter at 0, create the function thats going to process an entry, before return, incremente the counter, and excecute the inner function again, when its done, resolve the promise.

    Does it keep the dependant variable and delete the old ones?
    E.x. when you added age = 30, will age = 29 be kept still by javascript?

    • @MbzMOKKA
      @MbzMOKKA 21 день назад +1

      No because it's the same memory spot.
      In his example, when he does age = 30, it overwrites the value 29 in variable 'age', instead of creating a new variable.

    I honestly thought that it didn't call function too until it said return function to and since the variable was already age 30, that is why it started with 30. What if you called the function first?

    I had doubts for this last example, so I asked gpt to explain it to me deeply. It errored the first few times but at last gave the correct answer which claude also verified.
    Yes, for each iteration of the loop, a new scope is created, and within that scope, a new binding for the variable i is created. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
    First Iteration (i = 0):
    A new scope is created.
    A new binding for i is created and initialized to 0.
    The setTimeout callback captures this binding, so it logs 0.
    Second Iteration (i = 1):
    A new scope is created.
    A new binding for i is created and initialized to 1.
    The setTimeout callback captures this binding, so it logs 1.
    Third Iteration (i = 2):
    A new scope is created.
    A new binding for i is created and initialized to 2.
    The setTimeout callback captures this binding, so it logs 2.
    In each iteration, the let declaration ensures that i is re-declared and re-initialized within the new scope. This results in three separate bindings for i, each one unique to its iteration.

    • @JacobZigenis
      @JacobZigenis 20 дней назад

      Hate to break it to you, but absolutely no one is going to help you with manipulating a bank website. Further, what you're seeing isn't just javascript wiping the value. It's retrieving the value from the bank's servers, which you cannot modify no matter how much you manipulate the page. Gotta study up a lot more and stop asking for advice on malicious activities on RUclips. Also, on the off chance you do manage to do something malicious, you will almost certainly get caught.

I think it's worth a trial investigation ie look, screenshare, record discuss, etc and a look into the file and code framework on the Javascript and in the console just for a deeper explination, because I just know sql server, table updates, hidden servers, html, Javascript and css. The actual coding language and topology to see exactly where the update changes are made. Worse case the system gets reported and then gets fixed. I don't think it's too complicated less than 1000 lines of code plus minus with like 400 lines on my screen at once with like 30 lines each side of the zero balance variable.

      A class is syntactic sugar for a function, not necessarily a closure. A function becomes a closure when capturing variables from the parent scope, not because it’s a class.

    If you have a global function that captures a variable from the outer (global) scope, then this function is a closure, because a closure is a function that captures variables from the parent scope.
    Even if you are calling console.log, because console is a variable in the global scope, you are capturing a variable and therefore your function is a closure.
    The only functions in JavaScript that are not closures are pure functions.
    Please do some research before making a 13min video about a topic.
