Introducing ECMAScript 6 (ES6): A New Era for JavaScript Development

ECMAScript 6 (ES6), launched in 2015, brought exciting upgrades to JavaScript. It made coding easier with features like arrow functions (shorter functions), template literals (clearer text handling), and block-scoped variables (organized data). It even introduced classes (blueprints for making things) and smoother ways to handle promises. After ES6, more improvements came, making programming better and more efficient.

Block-Scoped Variables:

Introduced let and const for block-scoped variable declarations. Prevents variable hoisting issues.

Arrow Functions:

Concise syntax for defining functions. Captures surrounding this value.

Template Literals:

Embed expressions in strings using backticks. Enables string interpolation and multiline strings.

Destructuring Assignment:

Extract values from arrays and objects into variables. Enhances data unpacking and readability.

Default Parameters:

Set default values for function parameters. Used when no value is provided.

Spread and Rest Operators:

Spread elements of an iterable into another iterable or function arguments. Rest collects remaining arguments into an array.

Classes:

Structured class creation using class. Supports inheritance with extends keyword.

Promises:

Improved handling of asynchronous operations. Represents values available now or in the future.

Async/Await:

Simplifies asynchronous code with async and await keywords. Enhances code readability.

Modules:

Native support for modular code using import and export. Promotes code organization and reusability.

Map, Set, and WeakMap/WeakSet:

Specialized collections for various use cases. Maps allow any data type as keys, Sets store unique values. WeakMap and WeakSet for weak reference scenarios.

Enhanced Object Literals:

New features for object literals: Shorthand property notation. Computed property names. Methods defined using concise syntax.

Array Methods (forEach, map, filter, reduce, etc.):

Standardized and enhanced array methods. Offers functional programming capabilities. Improves code expressiveness and readability.

Subsequent Versions:

Continual improvements in later ECMAScript versions. Enhancements for more powerful and developer-friendly JavaScript.

Merge Two Sorted Linked List

Merge Two Sorted Linked List is a Standard Linked list Problem which is Frequently asked in Many Coding interviews. The basic idea is you have given Two Sorted Linked list which are sorted in its own and you have to return return a pointer node which has a merge single list of both the sorted list .
