[Javascript] Some Weird Facts About Javascript

Arguments Object:

The arguments object is an Array-like object corresponding to the arguments passed to a function.

function argumentFunction(){
 console.log(arguments[0]); 
 console.log(arguments[1]); 
 console.log(arguments[2]); 
}
argumentFunction("1","2","3");

output:

1

2

3

function Add() {
  var sum = 0;
  for(var j = 0; j < arguments.length; j++) {
    sum += arguments[j];
  }
  return sum;
}
Add(1, 2, 3, 4); // returns 10

Note: It is not an Array however it is similar to an array and it has length property in it.

Importance Of {} :

function method1() {
   return
   {
      name: 'foo'
   }
}
function method2() {
   return {
      name: 'foo'
   }
}
typeof method1() === typeof method2()   // return false

The first function return undefined and second method will return the object as expected. Parentheses play a major role so it should be handled with caution. 

Note: it’s good practice to put the opening parentheses on the current line.

Floating Number :

0.1+0.2  //0.30000000000000004
0.1+0.3  //0.4
0.2+0.4  //0.6000000000000001
0.2+0.5  //0.7
0.3+0.6  //0.8999999999999999
0.3+0.7  //1

Try 0.1+0.2 in your javascript environment and it is not going to return 3, however, 0.1+0.3 will return 0.4. 

0.1+0.2 == 0.3 will return false so we should be careful.

Sum of Arrays and Objects :

{} + [] // 0
[] + {} // "[object Object]"
[] + [] // ""
{} + {} // "[object Object][object Object]"

from the above code, we can come to a conclusion that 

{} + []  == [] + {} // returns false.
