5. Minimizing Globals

6. var a = (b = 0);

7. Single var Pattern Benefits
• Provides a single place to look for all the local variables
needed by the function
• Prevents logical errors when a variable is used before
it’s defined
• Helps you remember to declare variables and therefore
minimize globals
• Is less code

8. Hoisting

9. Access to the Global Object

10. For Loops HTMLCollections
• document.getElementsByName()
• document.getElementsByClassName()
• document.getElementsByTagName()
...

11. First-class objects Provide scope
Functions are objects that:
• Can be created dynamically at runtime, during the execution of the program
• Can be assigned to variables, can have their references copied to other variables,
can be augmented, and, except for a few special cases, can be deleted
• Can be passed as arguments to other functions and can also be returned by other
functions
• Can have their own properties and methods
Any variable defined with var inside of a
function is a local variable, invisible
outside the function.

12. Defining a function
Function expression Function declarations

13. Function expression VS Function declarations
Read-only name property
Function Hoisting

17. - It provides a scope sandbox for your initialization
code
- Executes a function as soon as it is defined

21. Classical Pattern #1—The Default Pattern

22. Classical Pattern #1—The Default Pattern
Drawbacks
- Inherit both own properties added to
this and prototype properties
- It doesn’t enable you to pass
parameters to the child constructor

23. Classical Pattern #2—Rent-a-Constructor

24. Classical Pattern #2—Rent-a-Constructor
The drawback is that nothing from the
prototype gets inherited
A benefit is that you get true copies of the
parent’s own members, and there’s no risk
that a child can accidentally overwrite a
parent’s property.

25. Classical Pattern #3—Rent and Set Prototype
+ The result objects get copies of the parent’s own members and
references to the parent’s reusable functionality (implemented as
members of the prototype)
+ The child can also pass any arguments to the parent constructor
- The parent constructor is called twice

26. Classical Pattern #4—Share the Prototype
Classical Pattern #1 inherit Changed inherit
- If one child or grandchild somewhere down the inheritance chain modifies the
prototype, it affects all parents and grandparents.

27. Classical Pattern #5—A Temporary Constructor
+ The child only inherits properties of
the prototype
- We don’t have a reference to the
original parent

28. Another methods
With the class keyword
ECMAScript 6 introduced a new set
of keywords implementing classes.
Although these constructs look like
those familiar to developers of class-
based languages, they are not.
JavaScript remains prototype-based.
The new keywords include class,
constructor, static, extends, and
super.
With Object.create
ECMAScript 5 introduced a new
method: Object.create(). Calling
this method creates a new object.
The prototype of this object is the
first argument of the function:
