函数是对象，因此可以具有属性。

fn = function(x) {
   // ...
}

fn.foo = 1;

fn.next = function(y) {
  //
}

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

这里有JavaScript 1.5的核心参考，JavaScript 1.6的新特性，JavaScript 1.7的新特性，以及JavaScript 1.8的新特性。看看所有这些实际工作的例子，是正确的。

JavaScript中的闭包(类似于c# v2.0+中的匿名方法)呢?你可以创建一个函数来创建一个函数或“表达式”。

闭包的例子:

//Takes a function that filters numbers and calls the function on 
//it to build up a list of numbers that satisfy the function.
function filter(filterFunction, numbers)
{
  var filteredNumbers = [];

  for (var index = 0; index < numbers.length; index++)
  {
    if (filterFunction(numbers[index]) == true)
    {
      filteredNumbers.push(numbers[index]);
    }
  }
  return filteredNumbers;
}

//Creates a function (closure) that will remember the value "lowerBound" 
//that gets passed in and keep a copy of it.
function buildGreaterThanFunction(lowerBound)
{
  return function (numberToCheck) {
    return (numberToCheck > lowerBound) ? true : false;
  };
}

var numbers = [1, 15, 20, 4, 11, 9, 77, 102, 6];

var greaterThan7 = buildGreaterThanFunction(7);
var greaterThan15 = buildGreaterThanFunction(15);

numbers = filter(greaterThan7, numbers);
alert('Greater Than 7: ' + numbers);

numbers = filter(greaterThan15, numbers);
alert('Greater Than 15: ' + numbers);

可以使用[]而不是。

这允许您查找与变量匹配的属性。

obj = {a:"test"};
var propname = "a";
var b = obj[propname];  // "test"

您还可以使用此命令获取/设置名称不是合法标识符的对象属性。

obj["class"] = "test";  // class is a reserved word; obj.class would be illegal.
obj["two words"] = "test2"; // using dot operator not possible with the space.

有些人不知道这一点，最终像这样使用eval()，这是一个非常糟糕的主意:

var propname = "a";
var a = eval("obj." + propname);

这更难阅读，更难发现错误(不能使用jslint)，执行速度更慢，并可能导致XSS漏洞。

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");
}
