Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
One line of JS, instant user interaction.
JavaScript gives you three built-in popup boxes, each designed for a different kind of user interaction.
↳ Pick the box that matches your intent: inform → alert, decide → confirm, collect → prompt.
Just want to say something? Use alert.
↳ alert() is fire-and-forget — it shows text and waits for the user to click OK.
Ask the user a question they can only answer two ways.
confirm() returns a boolean — `true` if the user clicks OK, `false` if they click Cancel.
↳ Always store confirm()'s return value in a variable — it's your true/false decision.

16 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
Which built-in JavaScript function shows a message with a single OK button and returns `undefined`?
Beginner`alert()`
`alert(message)` is pure output: it displays information with one OK button and returns `undefined`. `confirm()` returns a boolean and `prompt()` returns a string or `null`.
A script calls `confirm("Delete this file?")` and the user clicks Cancel. What is the return value?
Beginner`false`
`confirm()` returns a boolean: `true` for OK and `false` for Cancel. `null` belongs to `prompt()` when the user cancels.
Which of these is NOT a built-in JavaScript pop-up box?
Beginner`modal()`
JavaScript exposes exactly three built-in dialogs: `alert()`, `confirm()` and `prompt()`. There is no built-in `modal()` function — custom modals must be built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Which pop-up box allows the user to type a value?
Beginner`prompt()`
Only `prompt()` collects typed input. `alert()` and `confirm()` display a message and buttons but give the user no text field.
