This seems quite advanced. Are you familiar with the meaning of this in JS?

In Piscine, you may be asked something like this:

  • If you were not allowed to use this, how would you rewrite this.reset()?

If I couldn’t use this.reset(), I would manually reset each form field by setting their values back to empty. For example: document.getElementById("title").value = "";
document.getElementById("author").value = "";
document.getElementById("pages").value = "";
document.getElementById("check").checked = false;

You can use any code as long as can explain the code when asked. In Piscine's interview, the interviewer may randomly pick a piece of code from your project and ask you to explain it.

Why do you choose to keep the pages as string? It is not wrong, just unusual.
