知道一个函数需要多少个参数

function add_nums(num1, num2, num3 ){
    return num1 + num2 + num3;
}
add_nums.length // 3 is the number of parameters expected.

知道函数接收了多少参数

function add_many_nums(){
    return arguments.length;
}    
add_many_nums(2,1,122,12,21,89); //returns 6

当你想从数组中删除一个元素时，可以使用delete操作符，如下所示:

var numbers = [1,2,3,4,5];
delete numbers[3];
//numbers is now [1,2,3,undefined,5]

正如您所看到的，元素被删除了，但是数组中留下了一个洞，因为元素被替换为一个未定义的值。

因此，要解决这个问题，不要使用删除，而是使用splice array方法…是这样的:

var numbers = [1,2,3,4,5];
numbers.splice(3,1);
//numbers is now [1,2,3,5]

splice的第一个参数是数组[index]中的序数，第二个参数是要删除的元素数量。

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:)

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");
}

我要说的是自执行函数。

(function() { alert("hi there");})();

因为Javascript没有块作用域，如果你想定义局部变量，你可以使用一个自执行函数:

(function() {
  var myvar = 2;
  alert(myvar);
})();

在这里，myvar不会干扰或污染全局作用域，并且在函数终止时消失。

函数在JavaScript中是第一类公民:

var passFunAndApply = function (fn,x,y,z) { return fn(x,y,z); };

var sum = function(x,y,z) {
  return x+y+z;
};

alert( passFunAndApply(sum,3,4,5) ); // 12

函数式编程技术可以用来编写优雅的javascript。

特别是，函数可以作为参数传递，例如Array.filter()接受回调:

[1, 2, -1].filter(function(element, index, array) { return element > 0 });
// -> [1,2]

你也可以声明一个“private”函数，它只存在于特定函数的作用域中:

function PrintName() {
    var privateFunction = function() { return "Steve"; };
    return privateFunction();
}
