i'll make one up from memory

var a = {x:1,y:2,z:3};
var b = {x:2,y1:2,z1:3};

function combine(a,b) {
for(prop in a) {
b[prop] = a[prop] ;
}
return b;
}

console.log(a,b);

is the result, see how b's x property is gone?

After using that combine function in your original code, this is the output:

{ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 } { x: 1, y1: 2, z1: 3, y: 2, z: 3 }

With that code, what ended up happening is the combine function overwrote the x property in b since that's what your function told it to do if you don't want to overwrite an already existing property, you have to use an if statement that checks to see if the property is undefined before assigning a's property to b.

var a = { x:1,y:2,z:3};
var b = {x:2,y1:2,z1:3};

function combine(a,b)
{  
     for(prop in a)
    {
        if(b[prop] == undefined)
       {
           b[prop] = a[prop];
       }
    }
   return b;
}

combine(a,b);
console.log(a,b);

This is the output:
{ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 } { x: 2, y1: 2, z1: 3, y: 2, z: 3 }

Question for anyone who's worked helpdesk before:

I want to see how you would explain a simple task to someone over the phone or thru email in the "helpdesk" way.

hey brehs ive been working help desk since last august and im currently tryna leave by the end of the year early next year

im more interested in the network/server side of things and recently started studying to take the MCSA - WS2012...my question is would I be cheating myself by going for the MCSA instead of struggling it out and going for the MCSE WS2012?

Also what are some good study materials for the MCSA? I have two books so far and i am going to setup a lab as well as virtual labs. Any link to practice exams so i can get an idea of how their questions are formatted? what are some good study materials did you guys who took it use?

Which two books are you using to study for the MCSA Server 2012? I'm using cbt nuggets videos and I plan on using a book after watching the videos

Question i had while doing job applications... I want to see someone with helpdesk experience explain one of those 2 simple tasks, like they were interacting with a real user

Well the important thing is to get as many details as possible.

So for the gmail question, probably have the user walk you through exactly what they are clicking on/typing/going to and have them give you the exact error message they're receiving.

You need to determine the nature of the problem (for example, if it's an incorrect username/password, some sort of browser issue, their Internet isn't working, they're clicking the wrong icon, etc.). So have the user walk you through it and make sure they're actually going to the right place, determine what error they're getting, and go from there. For example, if they get a " page cannot be displayed" message then you might want to see if they're able to get any webpages. If not then their Internet might be down. If it's just Gmail they can't get to, make sure they're using the right address. If it's the password, make sure they're using the correct username and have them reset the password. Etc.

It's kind of a process of elimination, but at least half the time something like that is user error.

I applied for a job on Craigslist. They hit me back with an NDA and a bunch of prescreen questions.

What's got me so messed up is that the recruiter didn't say what company the client is. But they told me their location and what they're famous for. If I'm right about this... it's a company people would kill to work at.
