你可以在任何对象上执行一个对象的方法，不管它是否有这个方法。当然，它可能并不总是有效(如果方法假设对象具有它没有的东西)，但它可能非常有用。例如:

function(){
    arguments.push('foo') // This errors, arguments is not a proper array and has no push method
    Array.prototype.push.apply(arguments, ['foo']) // Works!
}

正如Marius已经指出的，可以在函数中使用公共静态变量。

我通常使用它们来创建只执行一次的函数，或者缓存一些复杂的计算结果。

下面是我以前的“单例”方法的例子:

var singleton = function(){ 

  if (typeof arguments.callee.__instance__ == 'undefined') { 

    arguments.callee.__instance__ = new function(){

      //this creates a random private variable.
      //this could be a complicated calculation or DOM traversing that takes long
      //or anything that needs to be "cached"
      var rnd = Math.random();

      //just a "public" function showing the private variable value
      this.smth = function(){ alert('it is an object with a rand num=' + rnd); };

   };

  }

  return arguments.callee.__instance__;

};


var a = new singleton;
var b = new singleton;

a.smth(); 
b.smth();

如您所见，在这两种情况下构造函数都只运行一次。

For example, I used this approach back in 2004 when I had to create a modal dialog box with a gray background that covered the whole page (something like Lightbox). Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6 have the highest stacking context for <select> or <iframe> elements due to their "windowed" nature; so if the page contained select elements, the only way to cover them was to create an iframe and position it "on top" of the page. So the whole script was quite complex and a little bit slow (it used filter: expressions to set opacity for the covering iframe). The "shim" script had only one ".show()" method, which created the shim only once and cached it in the static variable :)

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");
}

数字也是对象。所以你可以做一些很酷的事情，比如:

// convert to base 2
(5).toString(2) // returns "101"

// provide built in iteration
Number.prototype.times = function(funct){
  if(typeof funct === 'function') {
    for(var i = 0;i < Math.floor(this);i++) {
      funct(i);
    }
  }
  return this;
}


(5).times(function(i){
  string += i+" ";
});
// string now equals "0 1 2 3 4 "

var x = 1000;

x.times(function(i){
  document.body.innerHTML += '<p>paragraph #'+i+'</p>';
});
// adds 1000 parapraphs to the document

在这个帖子中有几个答案告诉你如何去做 通过Array对象的原型扩展Array对象。这很糟糕 IDEA，因为它破坏了语句中的for (i)。

如果你不使用for (i in a) 代码中的任何地方?除非你自己的代码是 只有您正在运行的代码，这是不太可能的 在浏览器内部。我担心如果人们开始扩张 他们的数组对象像这样，堆栈溢出将启动 充斥着一堆神秘的JavaScript错误。

如果你用逗号分隔语句，你几乎可以在括号之间做任何事情:

var z = ( x = "can you do crazy things with parenthesis", ( y = x.split(" "), [ y[1], y[0] ].concat( y.slice(2) ) ).join(" ") )

alert(x + "\n" + y + "\n" + z)

输出:

can you do crazy things with parenthesis
can,you,do,crazy,things,with,parenthesis
you can do crazy things with parenthesis
