闭包:

function f() { 
    var a; 
    function closureGet(){ return a; }
    function closureSet(val){ a=val;}
    return [closureGet,closureSet];
}

[closureGet,closureSet]=f(); 
closureSet(5);
alert(closureGet()); // gives 5

closureSet(15);
alert(closureGet()); // gives 15

这里的闭包并不是所谓的解构赋值([c,d] =[1,3]等价于c=1;d=3;)但事实上，在closureGet和closurereset中出现的a仍然指向同一个变量。即使在closureSet已经分配了一个新值之后!

私有方法

对象可以有私有方法。

function Person(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;

    // A private method only visible from within this constructor
    function calcFullName() {
       return firstName + " " + lastName;    
    }

    // A public method available to everyone
    this.sayHello = function () {
        alert(calcFullName());
    }
}

//Usage:
var person1 = new Person("Bob", "Loblaw");
person1.sayHello();

// This fails since the method is not visible from this scope
alert(person1.calcFullName());

生成器和迭代器(仅适用于Firefox 2+和Safari)。

function fib() {
  var i = 0, j = 1;
  while (true) {
    yield i;
    var t = i;
    i = j;
    j += t;
  }
}

var g = fib();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  document.write(g.next() + "<br>\n");
}

The function containing the yield keyword is a generator. When you call it, its formal parameters are bound to actual arguments, but its body isn't actually evaluated. Instead, a generator-iterator is returned. Each call to the generator-iterator's next() method performs another pass through the iterative algorithm. Each step's value is the value specified by the yield keyword. Think of yield as the generator-iterator version of return, indicating the boundary between each iteration of the algorithm. Each time you call next(), the generator code resumes from the statement following the yield. In normal usage, iterator objects are "invisible"; you won't need to operate on them explicitly, but will instead use JavaScript's for...in and for each...in statements to loop naturally over the keys and/or values of objects.

var objectWithIterator = getObjectSomehow();

for (var i in objectWithIterator)
{
  document.write(objectWithIterator[i] + "<br>\n");
}

Javascript在函数中有静态变量:

function someFunction(){
  var Static = arguments.callee;
  Static.someStaticVariable = (Static.someStaticVariable || 0) + 1;
  alert(Static.someStaticVariable);
}
someFunction() //Alerts 1
someFunction() //Alerts 2
someFunction() //Alerts 3

它在Objects内部也有静态变量:

function Obj(){
  this.Static = arguments.callee;
}
a = new Obj();
a.Static.name = "a";
b = new Obj();
alert(b.Static.name); //Alerts b

有些人会说这是品味问题，但是:

aWizz = wizz || "default";
// same as: if (wizz) { aWizz = wizz; } else { aWizz = "default"; }

三元操作符可以被链接到Scheme的(cond…):

(cond (predicate  (action  ...))
      (predicate2 (action2 ...))
      (#t         default ))

可以写成……

predicate  ? action( ... ) :
predicate2 ? action2( ... ) :
             default;

这是非常“实用的”，因为它可以在没有副作用的情况下对代码进行分支。所以不要:

if (predicate) {
  foo = "one";
} else if (predicate2) {
  foo = "two";
} else {
  foo = "default";
}

你可以这样写:

foo = predicate  ? "one" :
      predicate2 ? "two" :
                   "default";

也适用于递归:)

所有函数实际上都是内置Function类型的实例，它有一个构造函数，该构造函数接受一个包含函数定义的字符串，所以你可以在运行时通过例如连接字符串来定义函数:

//e.g., createAddFunction("a","b") returns function(a,b) { return a+b; }
function createAddFunction(paramName1, paramName2)
 { return new Function( paramName1, paramName2
                       ,"return "+ paramName1 +" + "+ paramName2 +";");
 }

另外，对于用户定义的函数，function . tostring()将函数定义作为文字字符串返回。
