Continuing my series about JavaScript interview tasks: a few people asked me to also write about throttle, following my last post on debounce. In JavaScript interviews, throttle usually comes up right after debounce. The task is often described like this: “Write a function throttle that takes another function and a delay. It should return a new function that ensures the original function is executed at most once within a given time interval.” Throttle is used when you want controlled execution over time, instead of waiting for user actions to stop. I’ve added a short example on the screenshot that shows the idea in code. Understanding the difference between debounce and throttle is something interviewers pay close attention to. Have you had this task in JavaScript interviews too? #javascript #frontend #webdevelopment #javascriptinterview #codinginterview #react #programming #softwareengineering
Good example to refresh js skills. Thanks!
Yep. Showcase this function at interview and get rejeected. Use it in production and get fired immediately)
