Returning Values • Global variable. • Object – by reference. • Returned value.
Basics • d = d + 1 • r = q - m • a = t * b • c = a / m • p = n + m / g - z • p = (n + m) / (g - z)
Increment b++ b = b + 1 ++d d = d + 1 a = b++ a = b; b = b + 1 c = ++d c = d + 1; d = d + 1 Decrement b-- b = b - 1 --d d = d - 1 a = b-- a = b; b = b - 1 c = --d c = d - 1; d = d - 1 Increment and Decrement
Math Object • Enables higher math operators. • Examples: • Square root. • Exponentiation. • Trigonometry calculations. • Random number generator.
Numeric Conversion • Number as string. • Conversion Methods: • parseFloat() decimal. • parseInt() integer.
