2. Question: What is the primary purpose of a web server?
   • Answer: A web server stores web page files (HTML, CSS, images, etc.) and delivers them to a client’s web browser upon request.
3. Question: What is the difference between a client-side script and a server-side script?
   • Answer: A client-side script runs in the user’s browser, while a server-side script runs on the web server before the page is sent to the client.
4. Question: What does HTTP stand for, and what is its role?
   • Answer: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It’s the set of rules that governs how data is exchanged between a web browser and a web server.

6. Question: What is an HTML element?
   • Answer: An HTML element is a building block of a web page, consisting of an opening tag, a closing tag, and the content in between.
7. Question: What is the purpose of a CSS class selector?
   • Answer: A class selector, denoted by a dot (.), is used to apply a set of styles to multiple HTML elements.
8. Question: What is the primary function of the Document Object Model (DOM)?
   • Answer: The DOM is a programming interface that represents a web page as a tree-like structure of objects, allowing JavaScript to dynamically change the page’s content and style.
9. Question: What is the purpose of an HTML form?
   • Answer: An HTML form is used to collect user input, which can then be submitted to a server for processing.
10. Question: What is the difference between a static and a dynamic web page?
    • Answer: A static page is a fixed document delivered exactly as it’s stored. A dynamic page is generated on the fly, often based on user input or data from a database.

    • Answer: A database stores and manages the data for a web application, such as user profiles, product information, or blog posts.
12. Question: What is a relational database?
    • Answer: A relational database stores data in tables that are related to each other through common fields, which are called keys.
13. Question: What is a common use for the id attribute in HTML?
    • Answer: The id attribute provides a unique identifier for a single HTML element, which can then be targeted by CSS or JavaScript.
14. Question: What is the purpose of the alt attribute on an <img> tag?
    • Answer: The alt (alternative text) attribute provides a text description of the image for accessibility and when the image fails to load.
15. Question: What is the difference between an inline and a block-level element?
    • Answer: An inline element (like <span>) doesn’t start on a new line and only takes up as much width as necessary. A block-level element (like <div>) starts on a new line and takes up the full width available.

Section 2: JavaScript and Backend Programming (15 Questions)

16. Question: What is a JavaScript variable, and how do you declare one using the modern syntax?
    • Answer: A variable is a container for storing data. You can declare one using let or const.
17. Question: What is a function in JavaScript?
    • Answer: A function is a block of code designed to perform a particular task. It can be called and reused multiple times.
18. Question: What is the purpose of a callback function in JavaScript?
    • Answer: A callback is a function passed into another function as an argument and is executed after the outer function has completed its operation.
19. Question: What is an event handler in JavaScript?
    • Answer: An event handler is a function that is executed when a specific event (like a button click or a page load) occurs.
20. Question: What is a JavaScript library or framework?
    • Answer: A library (e.g., jQuery) or framework (e.g., React, Angular) is a collection of pre-written, reusable code that simplifies and accelerates web development.
21. Question: What is the purpose of node.js?
    • Answer: Node.js is a server-side runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code on the server, building backend applications.
22. Question: What is a common use for the if...else statement in JavaScript?
    • Answer: It’s used to execute one block of code if a specified condition is true and a different block if the condition is false.
23. Question: What is the purpose of the return keyword in a JavaScript function?
    • Answer: The return keyword is used to specify a value that a function should send back to the calling code.
24. Question: What is the main purpose of a for loop?
    • Answer: A for loop is used to repeatedly execute a block of code a specific number of times.
25. Question: What is a common task performed by a PHP script on a server?
    • Answer: A PHP script can connect to a database, process form data, and generate dynamic HTML content to be sent to the client.
26. Question: What is a JSON object?
    • Answer: JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format often used for transferring data between a server and a web application.
27. Question: What is an API (Application Programming Interface)?
    • Answer: An API is a set of rules and protocols for building and interacting with software applications. It defines how different software components can communicate with each other.
28. Question: What is the purpose of AJAX?
    • Answer: AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a set of web development techniques that allows a web page to retrieve small amounts of data from the server without reloading the entire page.

    • Answer: A security attack that tricks a user’s browser into performing an unwanted action on a trusted site where the user is authenticated.
41. Question: What is the purpose of using a hash for storing passwords?
    • Answer: Hashing converts a password into an irreversible, fixed-size string of characters. This prevents an attacker from being able to read the actual passwords even if they gain access to the database.
