The try...catch statement is comprised of a try block and either a catch block, a finally block, or both. The code in the try block is executed first, and if it throws an exception, the code in the catch block will be executed. The code in the finally block will always be executed before control flow exits the entire construct.

The switch statement evaluates an expression, matching the expression's value against a series of case clauses, and executes statements after the first case clause with a matching value, until a break statement is encountered. The default clause of a switch statement will be jumped to if no case matches the expression's value.

The BigUint64Array typed array represents an array of 64-bit unsigned integers in the platform byte order. If control over byte order is needed, use DataView instead. The contents are initialized to 0n unless initialization data is explicitly provided. Once established, you can reference elements in the array using the object's methods, or using standard array index syntax (that is, using bracket notation).

The <animate> SVG element provides a way to animate an attribute of an element over time.

JavaScript is a prototype-based language — an object's behaviors are specified by its own properties and its prototype's properties. However, with the addition of classes, the creation of hierarchies of objects and the inheritance of properties and their values are much more in line with other object-oriented languages such as Java. In this section, we will demonstrate how objects can be created from classes.

The <feGaussianBlur> SVG filter primitive blurs the input image by the amount specified in stdDeviation, which defines the bell-curve.

Low-level languages like C, have manual memory management primitives such as malloc() and free(). In contrast, JavaScript automatically allocates memory when objects are created and frees it when they are not used anymore (garbage collection). This automaticity is a potential source of confusion: it can give developers the false impression that they don't need to worry about memory management.

The typeof operator returns a string indicating the type of the operand's value.

The decodeURI() function decodes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) previously created by encodeURI() or a similar routine.

The Uint8Array typed array represents an array of 8-bit unsigned integers. The contents are initialized to 0 unless initialization data is explicitly provided. Once established, you can reference elements in the array using the object's methods, or using standard array index syntax (that is, using bracket notation).
