You have a solid understanding of core front-end concepts, but there are areas for improvement. Focus on React hooks and advanced TypeScript types. To level up, read the React docs on Hooks (https://react.dev/reference/react).

Question-by-Question Analysis

Question 1
SINGLE CHOICE
Incorrect

Which of the following *is NOT* a built-in React hook?

Your Answer

useEffect

Correct Answer

useFetch

Feedback

Remember that React only exposes hooks that start with "use" and are part of the public API. **useFetch** is not one of them – it might appear in tutorials but it is not provided by React itself. Familiarise yourself with the full list of built-in hooks at https://react.dev/reference/react.

Question 2
MULTIPLE CHOICE
Incorrect

Select **all** features that TypeScript adds on top of JavaScript.

Your Answers

Static typing
Generics

Correct Answers

Static typing
Interfaces
Generics

Feedback

Static typing and generics were both recognised, but interfaces were missed. Interfaces are a core TypeScript feature that enable expressive contracts between components. Have a look at the official guide: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/objects.html#interfaces.

Question 3
OPEN
Correct

What is **event delegation** in the browser and why is it useful?

Your Answer

Event delegation leverages the fact that events bubble up the DOM. Instead of attaching a separate listener to every child, we attach one to a common ancestor and determine the target inside the handler.

Feedback

Good concise explanation – mentioning event bubbling and the benefit of fewer listeners shows understanding. You can reinforce this by experimenting with **stopPropagation** scenarios and reading MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Building_blocks/Events#event_delegation.

Question 4
CODE
Correct

Implement a `debounce` utility in JavaScript.

Your Answer

Feedback

Nicely done. The solution correctly clears and resets the timeout, ensuring the wrapped function executes after the specified delay. As a next step, try implementing a _throttle_ utility and compare when each pattern is most appropriate.

Question 5
SINGLE CHOICE
Incorrect

Which CSS layout method provides a two-dimensional grid system of rows and columns?

Your Answer

Flexbox

Correct Answer

Grid Layout

Feedback

Grid Layout is the two-dimensional layout system that allows you to work with rows and columns simultaneously, whereas Flexbox is one-dimensional. The Complete Guide to CSS Grid by CSS-Tricks (https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/) is an excellent resource.
