You need to write a loop that will traverse the length of an array to find the value orange. If
an array element value is null, the code should immediately go to the next element. When
the value is found, the loop should exit.
How should you complete the code? To answer, drag appropriate keywords to the correct
locations. Each keyword may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to
drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Question No : 1 DRAG DROP
You are creating a JavaScript function that returns a date the specified number of months
in the future of the current date.
The function must meet the following requirements:
Accept a number that represents the number of months to add or subtract from the

Question No : 2 HOTSPOT
current date.
Return the current data adjusted by the number of months passed into the
function.
How should you complete the code? To answer, select the appropriate code segments in
the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point
