+# JavaScript Interview FAQ — Advanced
+
+Advanced topics and answers for deeper interview prep.
+
+## 1. Event loop internals & rendering
+Describe microtask checkpoints, raf (requestAnimationFrame) ordering, and how long tasks block rendering.
+
+## 2. Memory leaks & profiling
+Common leaks: listeners not removed, closures holding big objects, forgotten timers. Use Chrome DevTools → Memory tab (heap snapshots, allocation instrumentation).
+
+## 3. Streams (Node & Web)
+Readable/Writable/Transform streams, piping, backpressure handling, and when to use streams vs buffering.
+
+## 4. Node event loop & worker threads
+Phases of Node event loop, libuv threadpool, difference between worker threads and child processes.
+
+## 5. Module systems, static analysis, tree-shaking
+ESM supports static imports enabling tree-shaking; CommonJS is dynamic and synchronous.
+
+## 6. Security basics (XSS, CSP)
+XSS types (reflected, stored, DOM), sanitize inputs, use Content Security Policy to mitigate inline-script risks.
+
+## 7. Performance: repaint/reflow & layout thrashing
+Batch DOM reads and writes, avoid forced synchronous layouts, use `requestAnimationFrame` for animation updates.
+
+## 8. WeakMap / WeakRef use-cases
+WeakMap for metadata on objects without preventing GC; WeakRef for caching with ephemeral references (use carefully).
+
+## 9. Advanced ES features: proxies, symbols, decorators (stage)
+Use-cases for proxy traps, customizing iteration with symbols, decorators for meta-programming (proposal stage changes).
+
+## 10. Concurrency patterns: atomicity & locking (worker patterns)
+Use worker threads / web workers for CPU heavy tasks, message-passing for shared-nothing concurrency, Atomics + SharedArrayBuffer for low-level sync.

+# JavaScript Interview FAQ — Basic
+
+A compact set of common JavaScript interview questions with concise answers.
+
+## 1. What is the event loop? How does it handle asynchronous callbacks?
+The event loop checks the call stack; when empty it drains microtasks (promises) then runs one macrotask (e.g., `setTimeout`) and repeats.
+
+## 2. Difference between `var`, `let`, and `const`
+`var` is function-scoped and hoisted; `let`/`const` are block-scoped. `const` can't be reassigned.
+
+## 3. Explain closures
+A closure is a function that retains access to its lexical scope even when executed elsewhere — useful for private state.
+
+## 4. `==` vs `===`
+`==` coerces types before comparing; `===` is strict (no coercion).
+
+## 5. How `this` is determined in JS?
+Determined by call-site: default/global, object method (implicit), explicit (`call`/`apply`), `new`, or lexical for arrow functions.
+
+## 6. Prototype vs class
+`class` is syntax sugar over prototype-based inheritance. Objects inherit via the prototype chain.
+
+## 7. Call, apply, bind
+`call(thisArg, ...)`, `apply(thisArg, [args])` invoke immediately; `bind(thisArg)` returns a bound function.
+
+## 8. Promises vs async/await
+Promises represent eventual results; `async/await` is syntactic sugar for working with promises.
+
+## 9. Microtasks vs Macrotasks
+Microtasks (promises) run after the current stack but before the next macrotask (timers, I/O).
+
+## 10. Hoisting
+Function and `var` declarations are hoisted. `let`/`const` are hoisted but in TDZ until initialized.
