  2. JavaScript syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_syntax

    A string in JavaScript is a sequence of characters. In JavaScript, strings can be created directly (as literals) by placing the series of characters between double (") or single (') quotes. Such strings must be written on a single line, but may include escaped newline characters (such as \n).

  3. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    Modern JavaScript handles associative arrays, using the Map and WeakMap classes. A map does not contain any keys by default; it only contains what is explicitly put into it. The keys and values can be any type (including functions, objects, or any primitive).

  4. Value type and reference type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_type_and_reference_type

    Many languages have explicit pointers or references. Reference types differ from these in that the entities they refer to are always accessed via references; for example, whereas in C++ it's possible to have either a std:: string and a std:: string *, where the former is a mutable string and the latter is an explicit pointer to a mutable string (unless it's a null pointer), in Java it is only ...

  5. JavaScript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript

    JavaScript (/ ˈ dʒ ɑː v ə s k r ɪ p t /), often abbreviated as JS, is a programming language and core technology of the Web, alongside HTML and CSS. 99% of websites use JavaScript on the client side for webpage behavior. [10] Web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine that executes the client code.

  6. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    In PHP and R, all arrays can be associative, except that the keys are limited to integers and strings. In JavaScript (see also JSON), all objects behave as associative arrays with string-valued keys, while the Map and WeakMap types take arbitrary objects as keys. In Lua, they are used as the primitive building block for all data structures.

  7. Polyfill (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyfill_(programming)

    Douglas Crockford originally wrote json2.js as an API for reading and writing his (then up-and-coming) JSON data format. It became so widely used that browser vendors decided to implement its API natively and turn it into a de facto standard ; Since json2.js now implements features native to newer browsers into older browsers, it has become a ...

  8. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    For function that manipulate strings, modern object-oriented languages, like C# and Java have immutable strings and return a copy (in newly allocated dynamic memory), while others, like C manipulate the original string unless the programmer copies data to a new string.

  9. ECMAScript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript

    Previously, JavaScript only supported function scoping using the keyword var, but ECMAScript 2015 added the keywords let and const, allowing JavaScript to support both block scoping and function scoping. JavaScript supports automatic semicolon insertion, meaning that semicolons that normally terminate a statement in C may be omitted in ...
