Coding questions

  • Make this work:

  • Create a for loop that iterates up to 100 while outputting "fizz" at multiples of 3, "buzz" at multiples of 5 and "fizzbuzz" at multiples of 3 and 5
  • What will be returned by each of these?
console.log("hello" || "world")
console.log("foo" && "bar")
  • Write an immediately invoked function expression (IIFE)
