2.1. JavaScript PreTest¶

The following Quiz is for me to assess what you already know about JavaScript. It will not count towards you final grade, nor will I look down on you if you don’t know any of it. The point is to not waste time covering things that people already know. It will also provide a basis at the end to measure how much you have learned!
