At first, thanks for all the examples and explanations! When I was taking this quiz, a thought "who ever write code this way?" appeared too many times :) I think these questions are good as a tricksters for A-graders, but if this kind of code somehow had appeared in PR, I would have never approved it

Thank you for the feedback, but can you elaborate more on your response? These questions were made for developers to strengthen their knowledge (even if you know the answer). The examples were made to be very simple, only to understanding the concept behind the question.

Well, my message wasn't about all the questions, most of them cover underlying concept and doesn't contradict to real world. But examples about hoisting or array reference looks like smelly code. Though I didn't check with my IDE and SonarLint that examples, I'm almost sure I'll get warnings.
P.S. english is not my native lang, so I'm bot sure 'bout the tone of voice of my message, hope it's not seems offensive or smth
