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 isNaN() function determines whether a value is NaN, first converting the value to a number if necessary. Because coercion inside the isNaN() function can be surprising, you may prefer to use Number.isNaN().

Functions are one of the fundamental building blocks in JavaScript. A function in JavaScript is similar to a procedure—a set of statements that performs a task or calculates a value, but for a procedure to qualify as a function, it should take some input and return an output where there is some obvious relationship between the input and the output. To use a function, you must define it somewhere in the scope from which you wish to call it.

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).

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

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.

Apart from graphic primitives like rectangles and circles, SVG offers a set of elements to embed other types of content in images as well.

The JavaScript exception "invalid regexp group" occurs when the sequence (? does not start a valid group syntax. Recognized group syntaxes that start with (? include:
