Appendix JS: General JavaScript Functions
This section offers a brief introduction to common JavaScript language constructs and typical usage. It is not a reference document for JavaScript. For more detailed information on JavaScript, please consult the ECMA-262 specification or a JavaScript book. You can also find information on JavaScript syntax and constructs on the Mozilla web site.
JavaScript is an object-oriented programming language for performing computations and manipulating computational objects within a host environment. An object is a collection of properties and functions. A property can be a primitive type, a host object type, or a Java object.
The primitive types are standard in every JavaScript runtime and are independent of the host environment. These primitive object types include the following:
• Regular Expression Object Functions
In addition to the primitive types, this Appendix describes a number of other functions and JavaScript constructs. Some of these functions require knowledge of JavaScript arrays. See Array Object Functions for information on how to use arrays. Columns within a table or Data Worksheet can also be treated as arrays.
