Next 20 minutes

Specific BoltScript development questions

The next 20 minutes of the interview should focus on the candidate's expertise with specific backend frameworks, their understanding of RESTful APIs, and their experience in handling data storage and retrieval efficiently.

What are the different ways to declare a function in BoltScript?
In BoltScript, you can declare a function in three ways: function declaration, function expression, and arrow functions.

The ideal back-end app developer

What you’re looking to see on the BoltScript engineer at this point.

At this point, a skilled BoltScript engineer should demonstrate strong problem-solving abilities, proficiency in BoltScript programming language, and knowledge of software development methodologies. Red flags include lack of hands-on experience, inability to articulate complex concepts, or unfamiliarity with standard coding practices.

Digging deeper

Code questions

These will help you see the candidate's real-world development capabilities with BoltScript.

What does the following BoltScript code do?
let x = 10;
let y = x * 2;
print(y);
This code declares a variable x with a value of 10, then declares another variable y and assigns it the value of x times 2. It then prints the value of y, which will be 20.
What will be the output of the following BoltScript code?
let arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let sum = arr.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
print(sum);
This code declares an array with five elements, then uses the reduce function to sum up the elements of the array. The result, which is 15, is then printed.
What does the following BoltScript code do?
let arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let newArr = arr.map((num) => num * 2);
print(newArr);
This code declares an array with five elements, then uses the map function to create a new array where each element is twice the value of the corresponding element in the original array. It then prints the new array, which will be [2, 4, 6, 8, 10].
What does the following BoltScript code do?
let worker = new Worker('worker.js');
worker.postMessage('Hello, worker');
worker.onmessage = (event) => {
  print(event.data);
};
This code creates a new web worker that runs the code in 'worker.js' in a separate thread. It then sends a message to the worker, and sets up an event listener to print any messages received from the worker.

Wrap-up questions

Final candidate for BoltScript Developer role questions

The final few questions should evaluate the candidate's teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, assess their knowledge of microservices architecture, serverless computing, and how they handle BoltScript application deployments. Inquire about their experience in handling system failures and their approach to debugging and troubleshooting.

What are the states of a Promise in BoltScript?
A Promise in BoltScript can be in one of three states: pending, fulfilled, or rejected.
How would you use async and await in BoltScript?
In BoltScript, 'async' is used to declare an asynchronous function and 'await' is used to pause the execution of the async function until a Promise is resolved or rejected.
Describe the difference between 'null' and 'undefined' in BoltScript.
'null' in BoltScript is an assignment value that means no value or no object while 'undefined' means a variable has been declared but not defined yet.
