<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>This is the sixth edition of ECMAScript Language Specification. Since publication of the first edition in 1997, ECMAScript
has grown to be one of the world&rsquo;s most widely used general purpose programming languages. It is best known as the
language embedded in web browsers but has also been widely adopted for server and embedded applications. The sixth edition is
the most extensive update to ECMAScript since the publication of the first edition in 1997.</p>
<p>Goals for the sixth edition include providing better support for large applications, library creation, and for use of
ECMAScript as a compilation target for other languages. Some of its major enhancements include modules, class declarations,
lexical block scoping, iterators and generators, promises for asynchronous programming, destructuring patterns, and proper tail
calls. The ECMAScript library of built-ins has been expanded to support additional data abstractions including maps, sets, and
arrays of binary numeric values as well as additional support for Unicode supplemental characters in strings and regular
expressions. The built-ins are now extensible via subclassing.</p>
<p>Focused development of the sixth edition started in 2009, as the fifth edition was being prepared for publication. However,
this was preceded by significant experimentation and language enhancement design efforts dating to the publication of the third
edition in 1999. In a very real sense, the completion of the sixth edition is the culmination of a fifteen year effort. Dozens
of individuals representing many organizations have made very significant contributions within TC39 to the development of this
edition and to the prior editions. In addition, a vibrant informal community has emerged supporting TC39&rsquo;s ECMAScript
efforts. This community has reviewed numerous drafts, filed thousands of bug reports, performed implementation experiments,
contributed test suites, and educated the world-wide developer community about ECMAScript. Unfortunately, it is impossible to
identify and acknowledge every person and organization who has contributed to this effort.</p>
<p>New uses and requirements for ECMAScript continue to emerge. The sixth edition provides the foundation for regular,
incremental language and library enhancements.</p>
<p>Allen Wirfs-Brock<br>ECMA-262, 6<sup>th</sup> Edition Project Editor</p>
<p>This Ecma Standard has been adopted by the General Assembly of &lt;month&gt; &lt;year&gt;.</p>
<p><b>ECMA-262 Edition History</b></p>
<p>This Ecma Standard is based on several originating technologies, the most well-known being JavaScript (Netscape) and JScript
(Microsoft). The language was invented by Brendan Eich at Netscape and first appeared in that company&rsquo;s Navigator 2.0
browser. It has appeared in all subsequent browsers from Netscape and in all browsers from Microsoft starting with Internet
Explorer 3.0.</p>
<p>The development of this Standard started in November 1996. The first edition of this Ecma Standard was adopted by the Ecma
General Assembly of June 1997.</p>
<p>That Ecma Standard was submitted to ISO/IEC JTC 1 for adoption under the fast-track procedure, and approved as international
standard ISO/IEC 16262, in April 1998. The Ecma General Assembly of June 1998 approved the second edition of ECMA-262 to keep it
fully aligned with ISO/IEC 16262. Changes between the first and the second edition are editorial in nature.</p>
<p>The third edition of the Standard introduced powerful regular expressions, better string handling, new control statements,
try/catch exception handling, tighter definition of errors, formatting for numeric output and minor changes in anticipation
future language growth. The third edition of the ECMAScript standard was adopted by the Ecma General Assembly of December 1999
and published as ISO/IEC 16262:2002 in June 2002.</p>
<p>After publication of the third edition, ECMAScript achieved massive adoption in conjunction with the World Wide Web where it
has become the programming language that is supported by essentially all web browsers. Significant work was done to develop a
fourth edition of ECMAScript. However, that work was not completed and not published as the fourth edition of ECMAScript but
some of it was incorporated into the development of the sixth edition.</p>
<p>The fifth edition of ECMAScript (published as ECMA-262 5<sup>th</sup> edition) codified de facto interpretations of the
language specification that have become common among browser implementations and added support for new features that had emerged
since the publication of the third edition. Such features include accessor properties, reflective creation and inspection of
objects, program control of property attributes, additional array manipulation functions, support for the JSON object encoding
format, and a strict mode that provides enhanced error checking and program security. The Fifth Edition was adopted by the Ecma
General Assembly of December 2009.</p>
<p>The Fifth Edition was submitted to ISO/IEC JTC 1 for adoption under the fast-track procedure, and approved as international
standard ISO/IEC 16262:2011. Edition 5.1 of the ECMAScript Standard incorporated minor corrections and is the same text as
ISO/IEC 16262:2011. The 5.1 Edition was adopted by the Ecma General Assembly of June 2011.</p>

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-4"><a href="#sec-overview" title="link to this section">4</a></span> Overview</h1>
<p>This section contains a non-normative overview of the ECMAScript language.</p>
<p>ECMAScript is an object-oriented programming language for performing computations and manipulating computational objects
within a host environment. ECMAScript as defined here is not intended to be computationally self-sufficient; indeed, there are
no provisions in this specification for input of external data or output of computed results. Instead, it is expected that the
computational environment of an ECMAScript program will provide not only the objects and other facilities described in this
specification but also certain environment-specific objects, whose description and behaviour are beyond the scope of this
specification except to indicate that they may provide certain properties that can be accessed and certain functions that can
be called from an ECMAScript program.</p>
<p>ECMAScript was originally designed to be used as a scripting language, but has become widely used as a general purpose
programming language. A <b><i>scripting language</i></b> is a programming language that is used to manipulate, customize, and
automate the facilities of an existing system. In such systems, useful functionality is already available through a user
interface, and the scripting language is a mechanism for exposing that functionality to program control. In this way, the
existing system is said to provide a host environment of objects and facilities, which completes the capabilities of the
scripting language. A scripting language is intended for use by both professional and non-professional programmers.</p>
<p>ECMAScript was originally designed to be a <b><i>Web scripting language</i></b>, providing a mechanism to enliven Web pages
in browsers and to perform server computation as part of a Web-based client-server architecture. ECMAScript is now used to
provide core scripting capabilities for a variety of host environments. Therefore the core language is specified in this
document apart from any particular host environment.</p>
<p>ECMAScript usage has moved beyond simple scripting and it is now used for the full spectrum of programming tasks in many
different environments and scales. As the usage of ECMAScript has expanded, so has the features and facilities it provides.
ECMAScript is now a fully featured general propose programming language.</p>
<p>Some of the facilities of ECMAScript are similar to those used in other programming languages; in particular C,
Java&trade;, Self, and Scheme as described in:</p>

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-4.1"><a href="#sec-web-scripting" title="link to this section">4.1</a></span> Web
Scripting</h1>
<p>A web browser provides an ECMAScript host environment for client-side computation including, for instance, objects that
represent windows, menus, pop-ups, dialog boxes, text areas, anchors, frames, history, cookies, and input/output. Further, the
host environment provides a means to attach scripting code to events such as change of focus, page and image loading,
unloading, error and abort, selection, form submission, and mouse actions. Scripting code appears within the HTML and the
displayed page is a combination of user interface elements and fixed and computed text and images. The scripting code is
reactive to user interaction and there is no need for a main program.</p>
<p>A web server provides a different host environment for server-side computation including objects representing requests,
clients, and files; and mechanisms to lock and share data. By using browser-side and server-side scripting together, it is
possible to distribute computation between the client and server while providing a customized user interface for a Web-based
application.</p>
<p>Each Web browser and server that supports ECMAScript supplies its own host environment, completing the ECMAScript execution
environment.</p>

ECMAScript Overview</h1>
<p>The following is an informal overview of ECMAScript&mdash;not all parts of the language are described. This overview is
not part of the standard proper.</p>
<p>ECMAScript is object-based: basic language and host facilities are provided by objects, and an ECMAScript program is a
cluster of communicating objects. In ECMAScript, an <b><i>object</i></b> is a collection of zero or more
<b><i>properties</i></b> each with <b><i>attributes</i></b> that determine how each property can be used&mdash;for example,
when the Writable attribute for a property is set to <b>false</b>, any attempt by executed ECMAScript code to assign a
different value to the property fails. Properties are containers that hold other objects, <b><i>primitive values</i></b>, or
<b><i>functions</i></b>. A primitive value is a member of one of the following built-in types: <b>Undefined</b>,
<b>Null</b>, <b>Boolean</b>, <b>Number</b>, <b>String,</b> and <b>Symbol;</b> an object is a member of the built-in type
<b>Object</b>; and a function is a callable object. A function that is associated with an object via a property is called a
<b><i>method</i></b>.</p>
<p>ECMAScript defines a collection of <b><i>built-in objects</i></b> that round out the definition of ECMAScript entities.
These built-in objects include the global object; objects that are fundamental to the runtime semantics of the language
including <b>Object</b>, <b>Function</b>, <b>Boolean</b>, <b>Symbol</b>, and various <b>Error</b> objects; objects that
represent and manipulate numeric values including <b>Math</b>, <b>Number</b>, and <b>Date</b>; the text processing objects
<b>String</b> and <b>RegExp</b>; objects that are indexed collections of values including <b>Array</b> and nine different
kinds of Typed Arrays whose elements all have a specific numeric data representation; keyed collections including <b>Map</b>
and <b>Set</b> objects; objects supporting structured data including the <b>JSON</b> object, <b>ArrayBuffer</b>, and
<b>DataView</b>; objects supporting control abstractions including generator functions and <b>Promise</b> objects;
and<b>,</b> reflection objects including <b>Proxy</b> and <b>Reflect</b>.</p>
<p>ECMAScript also defines a set of built-in <b><i>operators</i></b>. ECMAScript operators include various unary operations,
multiplicative operators, additive operators, bitwise shift operators, relational operators, equality operators, binary
bitwise operators, binary logical operators, assignment operators, and the comma operator.</p>
<p>Large ECMAScript programs are supported by <b><i>modules</i></b> which allow a program to be divided into multiple
sequences of statements and declarations. Each module explicitly identifies declarations it uses that need to be provided by
other modules and which of its declarations are available for use by other modules.</p>
<p>ECMAScript syntax intentionally resembles Java syntax. ECMAScript syntax is relaxed to enable it to serve as an
easy-to-use scripting language. For example, a variable is not required to have its type declared nor are types associated
with properties, and defined functions are not required to have their declarations appear textually before calls to
them.</p>
</div>
<section id="sec-objects">
<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-4.2.1"><a href="#sec-objects" title="link to this section">4.2.1</a></span> Objects</h1>
<p>Even though ECMAScript includes syntax for class definitions, ECMAScript objects are not fundamentally class-based such
as those in C++, Smalltalk, or Java. Instead objects may be created in various ways including via a literal notation or via
<b><i>constructors</i></b> which create objects and then execute code that initializes all or part of them by assigning
initial values to their properties. Each constructor is a function that has a property named <code>"prototype"</code> that
is used to implement <b><i>prototype-based inheritance</i></b> and <b><i>shared properties</i></b>. Objects are created by
using constructors in <b>new</b> expressions; for example, <code>new Date(2009,11)</code> creates a new Date object.
Invoking a constructor without using <b>new</b> has consequences that depend on the constructor. For example,
<code>Date()</code> produces a string representation of the current date and time rather than an object.</p>
<p>Every object created by a constructor has an implicit reference (called the object&rsquo;s <i>prototype</i>) to the value
of its constructor&rsquo;s <code>"prototype"</code> property. Furthermore, a prototype may have a non-null implicit
reference to its prototype, and so on; this is called the <i>prototype chain</i>. When a reference is made to a property in
an object, that reference is to the property of that name in the first object in the prototype chain that contains a
property of that name. In other words, first the object mentioned directly is examined for such a property; if that object
contains the named property, that is the property to which the reference refers; if that object does not contain the named
property, the prototype for that object is examined next; and so on.</p>

<figcaption>Figure 1 &mdash; Object/Prototype Relationships</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>In a class-based object-oriented language, in general, state is carried by instances, methods are carried by classes, and
inheritance is only of structure and behaviour. In ECMAScript, the state and methods are carried by objects, while
structure, behaviour, and state are all inherited.</p>
<p>All objects that do not directly contain a particular property that their prototype contains share that property and its
value. Figure 1 illustrates this:</p>
<p><b>CF</b> is a constructor (and also an object). Five objects have been created by using <code>new</code> expressions:
<b>cf<sub>1</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>2</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>3</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>4</sub></b>, and <b>cf<sub>5</sub></b>. Each
of these objects contains properties named <code>q1</code> and <code>q2</code>. The dashed lines represent the implicit
prototype relationship; so, for example, <b>cf<sub>3</sub></b>&rsquo;s prototype is <b>CF<sub>p</sub></b>. The constructor,
<b>CF</b>, has two properties itself, named <code>P1</code> and <code>P2</code>, which are not visible to
<b>CF<sub>p</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>1</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>2</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>3</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>4</sub></b>, or
<b>cf<sub>5</sub></b>. The property named <code>CFP1</code> in <b>CF<sub>p</sub></b> is shared by <b>cf<sub>1</sub></b>,
<b>cf<sub>2</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>3</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>4</sub></b>, and <b>cf<sub>5</sub></b> (but not by <b>CF</b>), as
are any properties found in <b>CF<sub>p</sub></b>&rsquo;s implicit prototype chain that are not named <code>q1</code>,
<code>q2</code>, or <code>CFP1</code>. Notice that there is no implicit prototype link between <b>CF</b> and
<b>CF<sub>p</sub></b>.</p>
<p>Unlike most class-based object languages, properties can be added to objects dynamically by assigning values to them.
That is, constructors are not required to name or assign values to all or any of the constructed object&rsquo;s properties.
In the above diagram, one could add a new shared property for <b>cf<sub>1</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>2</sub></b>,
<b>cf<sub>3</sub></b>, <b>cf<sub>4</sub></b>, and <b>cf<sub>5</sub></b> by assigning a new value to the property in
<b>CF<sub>p</sub></b>.</p>
<p>Although ECMAScript objects are not inherently class-based, it is often convenient to define class-like abstractions
based upon a common pattern of constructor functions, prototype objects, and methods. The ECMAScript built-in objects
themselves follow such a class-like pattern. Beginning with the sixth edition, the ECMAScript language includes syntactic
class definitions that permit programmers to concisely define objects that conform to the same class-like abstraction
pattern used by the built-in objects.</p>

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-4.2.2"><a href="#sec-strict-variant-of-ecmascript"
title="link to this section">4.2.2</a></span> The Strict Variant of ECMAScript</h1>
<p>The ECMAScript Language recognizes the possibility that some users of the language may wish to restrict their usage of
some features available in the language. They might do so in the interests of security, to avoid what they consider to be
error-prone features, to get enhanced error checking, or for other reasons of their choosing. In support of this
possibility, ECMAScript defines a strict variant of the language. The strict variant of the language excludes some specific
syntactic and semantic features of the regular ECMAScript language and modifies the detailed semantics of some features. The
strict variant also specifies additional error conditions that must be reported by throwing error exceptions in situations
that are not specified as errors by the non-strict form of the language.</p>
<p>The strict variant of ECMAScript is commonly referred to as the <i>strict mode</i> of the language. Strict mode selection
and use of the strict mode syntax and semantics of ECMAScript is explicitly made at the level of individual ECMAScript
source text units. Because strict mode is selected at the level of a syntactic source text unit, strict mode only imposes
restrictions that have local effect within such a source text unit. Strict mode does not restrict or modify any aspect of
the ECMAScript semantics that must operate consistently across multiple source text units. A complete ECMAScript program may
be composed of both strict mode and non-strict mode ECMAScript source text units. In this case, strict mode only applies
when actually executing code that is defined within a strict mode source text unit.</p>
<p>In order to conform to this specification, an ECMAScript implementation must implement both the full unrestricted
ECMAScript language and the strict variant of the ECMAScript language as defined by this specification. In addition, an
implementation must support the combination of unrestricted and strict mode source text units into a single composite
program.</p>

Context-Free Grammars</h1>
<p>A <i>context-free grammar</i> consists of a number of <i>productions</i>. Each production has an abstract symbol called a
<i>nonterminal</i> as its <i>left-hand side</i>, and a sequence of zero or more nonterminal and <i>terminal</i> symbols as
its <i>right-hand side</i>. For each grammar, the terminal symbols are drawn from a specified alphabet.</p>
<p>A <i>chain production</i> is a production that has exactly one nonterminal symbol on its right-hand side along with zero
or more terminal symbols.</p>
<p>Starting from a sentence consisting of a single distinguished nonterminal, called the <i>goal symbol</i>, a given
context-free grammar specifies a <i>language</i>, namely, the (perhaps infinite) set of possible sequences of terminal
symbols that can result from repeatedly replacing any nonterminal in the sequence with a right-hand side of a production for
which the nonterminal is the left-hand side.</p>

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-5.1.2"><a href="#sec-lexical-and-regexp-grammars"
title="link to this section">5.1.2</a></span> The Lexical and RegExp Grammars</h1>
<p>A <i>lexical grammar</i> for ECMAScript is given in <a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-lexical-grammar">clause 11</a>.
This grammar has as its terminal symbols Unicode code points that conform to the rules for <span
class="nt">SourceCharacter</span> defined in <a href="#sec-source-text">10.1</a>. It defines a set of productions, starting
from the goal symbol <var>InputElementDiv,</var> <var>InputElementTemplateTail,</var> or <span
class="nt">InputElementRegExp</span>, or <var>InputElementRegExpOrTemplateTail,</var> that describe how sequences of such
code points are translated into a sequence of input elements.</p>
<p>Input elements other than white space and comments form the terminal symbols for the syntactic grammar for ECMAScript and
are called ECMAScript <i>tokens</i>. These tokens are the reserved words, identifiers, literals, and punctuators of the
ECMAScript language. Moreover, line terminators, although not considered to be tokens, also become part of the stream of
input elements and guide the process of <a href="#sec-automatic-semicolon-insertion">automatic semicolon insertion</a> (<a
href="#sec-automatic-semicolon-insertion">11.9</a>). Simple white space and single-line comments are discarded and do not
appear in the stream of input elements for the syntactic grammar. A <span class="nt">MultiLineComment</span> (that is, a
comment of the form <code>/*</code>&hellip;<code>*/</code> regardless of whether it spans more than one line) is likewise
simply discarded if it contains no line terminator; but if a <span class="nt">MultiLineComment</span> contains one or more
line terminators, then it is replaced by a single line terminator, which becomes part of the stream of input elements for
the syntactic grammar.</p>
<p>A <i>RegExp grammar</i> for ECMAScript is given in <a href="#sec-patterns">21.2.1</a>. This grammar also has as its
terminal symbols the code points as defined by <span class="nt">SourceCharacter</span>. It defines a set of productions,
starting from the goal symbol <span class="nt">Pattern</span>, that describe how sequences of code points are translated
into regular expression patterns.</p>
<p>Productions of the lexical and RegExp grammars are distinguished by having two colons &ldquo;<b>::</b>&rdquo; as
separating punctuation. The lexical and RegExp grammars share some productions.</p>

The Numeric String Grammar</h1>
<p>Another grammar is used for translating Strings into numeric values. This grammar is similar to the part of the lexical
grammar having to do with numeric literals and has as its terminal symbols <span class="nt">SourceCharacter</span>. This
grammar appears in <a href="#sec-tonumber-applied-to-the-string-type">7.1.3.1</a>.</p>
<p>Productions of the numeric string grammar are distinguished by having three colons &ldquo;<b>:::</b>&rdquo; as
punctuation.</p>

<section id="sec-syntactic-grammar">
<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-5.1.4"><a href="#sec-syntactic-grammar" title="link to this section">5.1.4</a></span> The
Syntactic Grammar</h1>
<p>The <i>syntactic grammar</i> for ECMAScript is given in clauses 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. This grammar has ECMAScript
tokens defined by the lexical grammar as its terminal symbols (<a href="#sec-lexical-and-regexp-grammars">5.1.2</a>). It
defines a set of productions, starting from two alternative goal symbols <span class="nt">Script</span> and <span
class="nt">Module</span>, that describe how sequences of tokens form syntactically correct independent components of
ECMAScript programs.</p>
<p>When a stream of code points is to be parsed as an ECMAScript <span class="nt">Script</span> or <span
class="nt">Module</span>, it is first converted to a stream of input elements by repeated application of the lexical
grammar; this stream of input elements is then parsed by a single application of the syntactic grammar. The input stream is
syntactically in error if the tokens in the stream of input elements cannot be parsed as a single instance of the goal
nonterminal (<span class="nt">Script</span> or <span class="nt">Module</span>), with no tokens left over.</p>
<p>Productions of the syntactic grammar are distinguished by having just one colon &ldquo;<b>:</b>&rdquo; as
punctuation.</p>
<p>The syntactic grammar as presented in clauses 12, 13, 14 and 15 is not a complete account of which token sequences are
accepted as a correct ECMAScript <span class="nt">Script</span> or <span class="nt">Module</span>. Certain additional token
sequences are also accepted, namely, those that would be described by the grammar if only semicolons were added to the
sequence in certain places (such as before line terminator characters). Furthermore, certain token sequences that are
described by the grammar are not considered acceptable if a line terminator character appears in certain
&ldquo;awkward&rdquo; places.</p>
<p>In certain cases in order to avoid ambiguities the syntactic grammar uses generalized productions that permit token
sequences that do not form a valid ECMAScript <span class="nt">Script</span> or <span class="nt">Module</span>. For example,
this technique is used for object literals and object destructuring patterns. In such cases a more restrictive
<i>supplemental grammar</i> is provided that further restricts the acceptable token sequences. In certain contexts, when
explicitly specified, the input elements corresponding to such a production are parsed again using a goal symbol of a
supplemental grammar. The input stream is syntactically in error if the tokens in the stream of input elements parsed by a
cover grammar cannot be parsed as a single instance of the corresponding supplemental goal symbol, with no tokens left
over.</p>

<section id="sec-grammar-notation">
<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-5.1.5"><a href="#sec-grammar-notation" title="link to this section">5.1.5</a></span>
Grammar Notation</h1>
<p>Terminal symbols of the lexical, RegExp, and numeric string grammars are shown in <code>fixed width</code> font, both in
the productions of the grammars and throughout this specification whenever the text directly refers to such a terminal
symbol. These are to appear in a script exactly as written. All terminal symbol code points specified in this way are to be
understood as the appropriate Unicode code points from the Basic Latin range, as opposed to any similar-looking code points
from other Unicode ranges.</p>
<p>Nonterminal symbols are shown in <var>italic</var> type. The definition of a nonterminal (also called a
&ldquo;production&rdquo;) is introduced by the name of the nonterminal being defined followed by one or more colons. (The
number of colons indicates to which grammar the production belongs.) One or more alternative right-hand sides for the
nonterminal then follow on succeeding lines. For example, the syntactic definition:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">WhileStatement</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">while</code> <code class="t">(</code> <span class="nt">Expression</span> <code class="t">)</code> <span class="nt">Statement</span></div>
</div>
<p>states that the nonterminal <span class="nt">WhileStatement</span> represents the token <code>while</code>, followed by a
left parenthesis token, followed by an <span class="nt">Expression</span>, followed by a right parenthesis token, followed
by a <span class="nt">Statement</span>. The occurrences of <span class="nt">Expression</span> and <span
class="nt">Statement</span> are themselves nonterminals. As another example, the syntactic definition:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">ArgumentList</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">AssignmentExpression</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">ArgumentList</span> <code class="t">,</code> <span class="nt">AssignmentExpression</span></div>
</div>
<p>states that an <span class="nt">ArgumentList</span> may represent either a single <span
class="nt">AssignmentExpression</span> or an <span class="nt">ArgumentList</span>, followed by a comma, followed by an <span
class="nt">AssignmentExpression</span>. This definition of <span class="nt">ArgumentList</span> is recursive, that is, it is
defined in terms of itself. The result is that an <span class="nt">ArgumentList</span> may contain any positive number of
arguments, separated by commas, where each argument expression is an <span class="nt">AssignmentExpression</span>. Such
recursive definitions of nonterminals are common.</p>
<p>The subscripted suffix &ldquo;<sub>opt</sub>&rdquo;, which may appear after a terminal or nonterminal, indicates an
optional symbol. The alternative containing the optional symbol actually specifies two right-hand sides, one that omits the
optional element and one that includes it. This means that:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">VariableDeclaration</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span> <span class="nt">Initializer</span><sub class="g-opt">opt</sub></div>
</div>
<p>is a convenient abbreviation for:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">VariableDeclaration</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span> <span class="nt">Initializer</span></div>
</div>
<p>and that:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">IterationStatement</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">for</code> <code class="t">(</code> <span class="nt">LexicalDeclaration</span> <span class="nt">Expression</span><sub class="g-opt">opt</sub> <code class="t">;</code> <span class="nt">Expression</span><sub class="g-opt">opt</sub> <code class="t">)</code> <span class="nt">Statement</span></div>
</div>
<p>is a convenient abbreviation for:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">IterationStatement</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">for</code> <code class="t">(</code> <span class="nt">LexicalDeclaration</span> <code class="t">;</code> <span class="nt">Expression</span><sub class="g-opt">opt</sub> <code class="t">)</code> <span class="nt">Statement</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">for</code> <code class="t">(</code> <span class="nt">LexicalDeclaration</span> <span class="nt">Expression</span> <code class="t">;</code> <span class="nt">Expression</span><sub class="g-opt">opt</sub> <code class="t">)</code> <span class="nt">Statement</span></div>
</div>
<p>which in turn is an abbreviation for:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">IterationStatement</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">for</code> <code class="t">(</code> <span class="nt">LexicalDeclaration</span> <code class="t">;</code> <code class="t">)</code> <span class="nt">Statement</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">for</code> <code class="t">(</code> <span class="nt">LexicalDeclaration</span> <code class="t">;</code> <span class="nt">Expression</span> <code class="t">)</code> <span class="nt">Statement</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">for</code> <code class="t">(</code> <span class="nt">LexicalDeclaration</span> <span class="nt">Expression</span> <code class="t">;</code> <code class="t">)</code> <span class="nt">Statement</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">for</code> <code class="t">(</code> <span class="nt">LexicalDeclaration</span> <span class="nt">Expression</span> <code class="t">;</code> <span class="nt">Expression</span> <code class="t">)</code> <span class="nt">Statement</span></div>
</div>
<p>so, in this example, the nonterminal <span class="nt">IterationStatement</span> actually has four alternative right-hand
sides.</p>
<p>A production may be parameterized by a subscripted annotation of the form &ldquo;<sub>[parameters]</sub>&rdquo;, which
may appear as a suffix to the nonterminal symbol defined by the production. &ldquo;<sub>parameters</sub>&rdquo; may be
either a single name or a comma separated list of names. A parameterized production is shorthand for a set of productions
defining all combinations of the parameter names, preceded by an underscore, appended to the parameterized nonterminal

<p>Multiple parameters produce a combinatory number of productions, not all of which are necessarily referenced in a
complete grammar.</p>
<p>References to nonterminals on the right-hand side of a production can also be parameterized. For example:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">StatementList</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">ReturnStatement</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">ExpressionStatement</span><sub class="g-params">[In]</sub></div>
</div>
<p>is equivalent to saying:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">StatementList</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">ReturnStatement</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">ExpressionStatement_In</span></div>
</div>
<p>A nonterminal reference may have both a parameter list and an &ldquo;<sub>opt</sub>&rdquo; suffix. For example:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">VariableDeclaration</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span> <span class="nt">Initializer</span><sub class="g-params">[In]</sub><sub class="g-opt">opt</sub></div>
</div>
<p>is an abbreviation for:</p>
<div class="gp">

<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span> <span class="nt">Initializer_In</span></div>
</div>
<p>Prefixing a parameter name with &ldquo;<sub>?</sub>&rdquo; on a right-hand side nonterminal reference makes that
parameter value dependent upon the occurrence of the parameter name on the reference to the current production&rsquo;s
left-hand side symbol. For example:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">VariableDeclaration</span><sub class="g-params">[In]</sub> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span> <span class="nt">Initializer</span><sub class="g-params">[?In]</sub></div>
</div>
<p>is an abbreviation for:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">VariableDeclaration</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span> <span class="nt">Initializer</span></div>

<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">VariableDeclaration_In</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">BindingIdentifier</span> <span class="nt">Initializer_In</span></div>
</div>
<p>If a right-hand side alternative is prefixed with &ldquo;[+parameter]&rdquo; that alternative is only available if the
named parameter was used in referencing the production&rsquo;s nonterminal symbol. If a right-hand side alternative is
prefixed with &ldquo;[~parameter]&rdquo; that alternative is only available if the named parameter was <i>not</i> used in
referencing the production&rsquo;s nonterminal symbol. This means that:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">StatementList</span><sub class="g-params">[Return]</sub> <span class="geq">:</span></div>

<p>When the words &ldquo;<b>one of</b>&rdquo; follow the colon(s) in a grammar definition, they signify that each of the
terminal symbols on the following line or lines is an alternative definition. For example, the lexical grammar for
ECMAScript contains the production:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">NonZeroDigit</span> <span class="geq">::</span> <span class="grhsmod">one of</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">1</code> <code class="t">2</code> <code class="t">3</code> <code class="t">4</code> <code class="t">5</code> <code class="t">6</code> <code class="t">7</code> <code class="t">8</code> <code class="t">9</code></div>
</div>
<p>which is merely a convenient abbreviation for:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">NonZeroDigit</span> <span class="geq">::</span></div>

<div class="rhs"><code class="t">9</code></div>
</div>
<p>If the phrase &ldquo;[empty]&rdquo; appears as the right-hand side of a production, it indicates that the production's
right-hand side contains no terminals or nonterminals.</p>
<p>If the phrase &ldquo;[lookahead &notin; <var>set</var>]&rdquo; appears in the right-hand side of a production, it
indicates that the production may not be used if the immediately following input token is a member of the given
<var>set</var>. The <var>set</var> can be written as a list of terminals enclosed in curly brackets. For convenience, the
set can also be written as a nonterminal, in which case it represents the set of all terminals to which that nonterminal
could expand. If the <var>set</var> consists of a single terminal the phrase &ldquo;[lookahead &ne;
<var>terminal</var>]&rdquo; may be used.</p>
<p>For example, given the definitions</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">DecimalDigit</span> <span class="geq">::</span> <span class="grhsmod">one of</span></div>

<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">DecimalDigit</span> <span class="grhsannot">[lookahead &notin; <span class="nt">DecimalDigit</span>]</span></div>
</div>
<p>matches either the letter <code>n</code> followed by one or more decimal digits the first of which is even, or a decimal
digit not followed by another decimal digit.</p>
<p>If the phrase &ldquo;[no <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> here]&rdquo; appears in the right-hand side of a
production of the syntactic grammar, it indicates that the production is <i>a restricted production</i>: it may not be used
if a <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> occurs in the input stream at the indicated position. For example, the
production:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">ThrowStatement</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">throw</code> <span class="grhsannot">[no <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> here]</span> <span class="nt">Expression</span> <code class="t">;</code></div>
</div>
<p>indicates that the production may not be used if a <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> occurs in the script between
the <code>throw</code> token and the <span class="nt">Expression</span>.</p>
<p>Unless the presence of a <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> is forbidden by a restricted production, any number of
occurrences of <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> may appear between any two consecutive tokens in the stream of input
elements without affecting the syntactic acceptability of the script.</p>
<p>When an alternative in a production of the lexical grammar or the numeric string grammar appears to be a multi-code point
token, it represents the sequence of code points that would make up such a token.</p>
<p>The right-hand side of a production may specify that certain expansions are not permitted by using the phrase
&ldquo;<b>but not</b>&rdquo; and then indicating the expansions to be excluded. For example, the production:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">Identifier</span> <span class="geq">::</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="nt">IdentifierName</span> <span class="grhsmod">but not</span> <span class="nt">ReservedWord</span></div>
</div>
<p>means that the nonterminal <span class="nt">Identifier</span> may be replaced by any sequence of code points that could
replace <span class="nt">IdentifierName</span> provided that the same sequence of code points could not replace <span
class="nt">ReservedWord</span>.</p>
<p>Finally, a few nonterminal symbols are described by a descriptive phrase in sans-serif type in cases where it would be
impractical to list all the alternatives:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">SourceCharacter</span> <span class="geq">::</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><span class="gprose">any Unicode code point</span></div>

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-5.2"><a href="#sec-algorithm-conventions" title="link to this section">5.2</a></span>
Algorithm Conventions</h1>
<p>The specification often uses a numbered list to specify steps in an algorithm. These algorithms are used to precisely
specify the required semantics of ECMAScript language constructs. The algorithms are not intended to imply the use of any
specific implementation technique. In practice, there may be more efficient algorithms available to implement a given
feature.</p>
<p>Algorithms may be explicitly parameterized, in which case the names and usage of the parameters must be provided as part of
the algorithm&rsquo;s definition. In order to facilitate their use in multiple parts of this specification, some algorithms,
called <i>abstract</i> <i>operations</i>, are named and written in parameterized functional form so that they may be
referenced by name from within other algorithms. Abstract operations are typically referenced using a functional application
style such as <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">operationName(<i>arg1</i>, <i>arg2</i>)</span>. Some abstract
operations are treated as polymorphically dispatched methods of class-like specification abstractions. Such method-like
abstract operations are typically referenced using a method application style such as <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman"><i>someValue</i>.operationName(<i>arg1</i>, <i>arg2</i>)</span>.</p>
<p>Algorithms may be associated with productions of one of the ECMAScript grammars. A production that has multiple alternative
definitions will typically have a distinct algorithm for each alternative. When an algorithm is associated with a grammar
production, it may reference the terminal and nonterminal symbols of the production alternative as if they were parameters of
the algorithm. When used in this manner, nonterminal symbols refer to the actual alternative definition that is matched when
parsing the source text.</p>
<p>When an algorithm is associated with a production alternative, the alternative is typically shown without any &ldquo;[
]&rdquo; grammar annotations. Such annotations should only affect the syntactic recognition of the alternative and have no
effect on the associated semantics for the alternative.</p>
<p>Unless explicitly specified otherwise, all <a href="#sec-context-free-grammars">chain productions</a> have an implicit
definition for every algorithm that might be applied to that production&rsquo;s left-hand side nonterminal. The implicit
definition simply reapplies the same algorithm name with the same parameters, if any, to the <a
href="#sec-context-free-grammars">chain production</a>&rsquo;s sole right-hand side nonterminal and then returns the result.
For example, assume there is a production:</p>
<div class="gp">
<div class="lhs"><span class="nt">Block</span> <span class="geq">:</span></div>
<div class="rhs"><code class="t">{</code> <span class="nt">StatementList</span> <code class="t">}</code></div>
</div>
<p>but there is no corresponding Evaluation algorithm that is explicitly specified for that production. If in some algorithm
there is a statement of the form: &ldquo;<span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Return the result of evaluating
<i>Block</i></span>&rdquo; it is implicit that an Evaluation algorithm exists of the form:</p>
<p><b>Runtime Semantics: Evaluation</b></p>
<div class="gp prod"><span class="nt">Block</span> <span class="geq">:</span> <code class="t">{</code> <span class="nt">StatementList</span> <code class="t">}</code></div>
<ol class="proc">
<li>Return the result of evaluating <i>StatementList</i>.</li>
</ol>
<p>For clarity of expression, algorithm steps may be subdivided into sequential substeps. Substeps are indented and may
themselves be further divided into indented substeps. Outline numbering conventions are used to identify substeps with the
first level of substeps labelled with lower case alphabetic characters and the second level of substeps labelled with lower
case roman numerals. If more than three levels are required these rules repeat with the fourth level using numeric labels. For
example:</p>
<ol class="proc">
<li>Top-level step
<ol class="block">
<li>Substep.</li>
<li>Substep.
<ol class="block">
<li>Subsubstep.
<ol class="block">
<li>Subsubsubstep
<ol class="block">
<li>Subsubsubsubstep
<ol class="block">
<li>Subsubsubsubsubstep</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>A step or substep may be written as an &ldquo;if&rdquo; predicate that conditions its substeps. In this case, the substeps
are only applied if the predicate is true. If a step or substep begins with the word &ldquo;else&rdquo;, it is a predicate
that is the negation of the preceding &ldquo;if&rdquo; predicate step at the same level.</p>
<p>A step may specify the iterative application of its substeps.</p>
<p>A step that begins with &ldquo;Assert:&rdquo; asserts an invariant condition of its algorithm. Such assertions are used to
make explicit algorithmic invariants that would otherwise be implicit. Such assertions add no additional semantic requirements
and hence need not be checked by an implementation. They are used simply to clarify algorithms.</p>
<p>Mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, negation, multiplication, division, and the mathematical functions
defined later in this clause should always be understood as computing exact mathematical results on mathematical real numbers,
which unless otherwise noted do not include infinities and do not include a negative zero that is distinguished from positive
zero. Algorithms in this standard that model floating-point arithmetic include explicit steps, where necessary, to handle
infinities and signed zero and to perform rounding. If a mathematical operation or function is applied to a floating-point
number, it should be understood as being applied to the exact mathematical value represented by that floating-point number;
such a floating-point number must be finite, and if it is <span class="value">+0</span> or <span class="value">&minus;0</span>
then the corresponding mathematical value is simply <span class="value">0</span>.</p>
<p>The mathematical function <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">abs(<i>x</i>)</span> produces the absolute value of
<var>x</var>, which is <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&minus;<i>x</i></span> if <var>x</var> is negative (less
than zero) and otherwise is <var>x</var> itself.</p>
<p>The mathematical function <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">sign(<i>x</i>)</span> produces <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">1</span> if <var>x</var> is positive and <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">&minus;1</span> if <var>x</var> is negative. The sign function is not used in this standard for cases when <var>x</var>
is zero.</p>
<p>The mathematical function <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">min(<i>x</i><sub>1</sub>,</span> <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>x</i><sub>2</sub>, ..., <i>x</i><sub>n</sub>)</span> produces the mathematically
smallest of <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>x</i><sub>1</sub></span> through <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman"><i>x</i><sub>n</sub></span>. The mathematical function <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">max(<i>x</i><sub>1</sub>,</span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>x</i><sub>2</sub>, ...,
<i>x</i><sub>n</sub>)</span> produces the mathematically largest of <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman"><i>x</i><sub>1</sub></span> through <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>x</i><sub>n</sub></span>. The domain
and range of these mathematical functions include +<b>&infin;</b> and <b>&minus;&infin;</b>.</p>
<p>The notation &ldquo;<span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>x</i> modulo <i>y</i></span>&rdquo; (<var>y</var> must be
finite and nonzero) computes a value <var>k</var> of the same sign as <var>y</var> (or zero) such that <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">abs(<i>k</i>) &lt; abs(<i>y</i>) and <i>x</i>&minus;<i>k</i> = <i>q</i></span> <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">&times;</span> <var>y</var> for some integer <var>q</var>.</p>
<p>The mathematical function <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">floor(<i>x</i>)</span> produces the largest integer

<section id="sec-static-semantic-rules">
<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-5.3"><a href="#sec-static-semantic-rules" title="link to this section">5.3</a></span> Static
Semantic Rules</h1>
<p>Context-free grammars are not sufficiently powerful to express all the rules that define whether a stream of input elements
form a valid ECMAScript <span class="nt">Script</span> or <span class="nt">Module</span> that may be evaluated. In some
situations additional rules are needed that may be expressed using either ECMAScript algorithm conventions or prose
requirements. Such rules are always associated with a production of a grammar and are called the <i>static semantics</i> of
the production.</p>
<p>Static Semantic Rules have names and typically are defined using an algorithm. Named Static Semantic Rules are associated
with grammar productions and a production that has multiple alternative definitions will typically have for each alternative a
distinct algorithm for each applicable named static semantic rule.</p>
<p>Unless otherwise specified every grammar production alternative in this specification implicitly has a definition for a
static semantic rule named <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Contains</span> which takes an argument named
<var>symbol</var> whose value is a terminal or nonterminal of the grammar that includes the associated production. The default
definition of <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Contains</span> is:</p>
<ol class="proc">
<li>For each terminal and nonterminal grammar symbol, <i>sym</i>, in the definition of this production do
<ol class="block">
<li>If <i>sym</i> is the same grammar symbol as <i>symbol</i>, return <b>true</b>.</li>
<li>If <i>sym</i> is a nonterminal, then
<ol class="block">
<li>Let <i>contained</i> be the result of <i>sym</i> Contains <i>symbol</i>.</li>
<li>If <i>contained</i> is <b>true</b>, return <b>true</b>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Return <b>false</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p>The above definition is explicitly over-ridden for specific productions.</p>
<p>A special kind of static semantic rule is an Early Error Rule. Early error rules define early error conditions (see <a
href="#sec-error-handling-and-language-extensions">clause 16</a>) that are associated with specific grammar productions.
Evaluation of most early error rules are not explicitly invoked within the algorithms of this specification. A conforming
implementation must, prior to the first evaluation of a <span class="nt">Script</span>, validate all of the early error rules
of the productions used to parse that <span class="nt">Script</span>. If any of the early error rules are violated the <span
class="nt">Script</span> is invalid and cannot be evaluated.</p>

<p>The String type is the set of all finite ordered sequences of zero or more 16-bit unsigned integer values
(&ldquo;elements&rdquo;). The String type is generally used to represent textual data in a running ECMAScript program, in
which case each element in the String is treated as a UTF-16 code unit value. Each element is regarded as occupying a
position within the sequence. These positions are indexed with nonnegative integers. The first element (if any) is at index
0, the next element (if any) at index 1, and so on. The length of a String is the number of elements (i.e., 16-bit values)
within it. The empty String has length zero and therefore contains no elements.</p>
<p>Where ECMAScript operations interpret String values, each element is interpreted as a single UTF-16 code unit. However,
ECMAScript does not place any restrictions or requirements on the sequence of code units in a String value, so they may be
ill-formed when interpreted as UTF-16 code unit sequences. Operations that do not interpret String contents treat them as
sequences of undifferentiated 16-bit unsigned integers. The function <code><a
href="#sec-string.prototype.normalize">String.prototype.normalize</a></code> (<a href="#sec-string.prototype.normalize">see
21.1.3.12</a>) can be used to explicitly normalize a string value. <code><a
href="#sec-string.prototype.localecompare">String.prototype.localeCompare</a></code> (<a
href="#sec-string.prototype.localecompare">see 21.1.3.10</a>) internally normalizes strings values, but no other operations
implicitly normalize the strings upon which they operate. Only operations that are explicitly specified to be language or
locale sensitive produce language-sensitive results.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> The rationale behind this design was to keep the implementation of Strings as simple and
high-performing as possible. If ECMAScript source text is in Normalized Form C, string literals are guaranteed to also be
normalized, as long as they do not contain any Unicode escape sequences.</p>

<p>Some operations interpret String contents as UTF-16 encoded Unicode code points. In that case the interpretation is:</p>

<li>
<p>A code unit that is in the range <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">0xD800</span> to <span

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-6.1.6"><a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types-number-type"
title="link to this section">6.1.6</a></span> The Number Type</h1>
<p>The Number type has exactly <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">18437736874454810627</span> (that is, <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">2<sup>64</sup>&minus;2<sup>53</sup>+3</span>) values, representing the double-precision
64-bit format IEEE 754 values as specified in the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, except that the <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">9007199254740990</span> (that is, <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">2<sup>53</sup>&minus;2</span>) distinct &ldquo;Not-a-Number&rdquo; values of the IEEE Standard are represented in
ECMAScript as a single special <b>NaN</b> value. (Note that the <b>NaN</b> value is produced by the program expression
<code>NaN</code>.) In some implementations, external code might be able to detect a difference between various Not-a-Number
values, but such behaviour is implementation-dependent; to ECMAScript code, all NaN values are indistinguishable from each
other.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> The bit pattern that might be observed in an ArrayBuffer (<a
href="#sec-arraybuffer-objects">see 24.1</a>) after a Number value has been stored into it is not necessarily the same as
the internal representation of that Number value used by the ECMAScript implementation.</p>
</div>
<p>There are two other special values, called <b>positive Infinity</b> and <b>negative Infinity</b>. For brevity, these
values are also referred to for expository purposes by the symbols <span class="value">+&infin;</span> and <span
class="value">&minus;&infin;</span>, respectively. (Note that these two infinite Number values are produced by the program
expressions <code>+Infinity</code> (or simply <code>Infinity</code>) and <code>-Infinity</code>.)</p>
<p>The other <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">18437736874454810624</span> (that is, <span style="font-family:
Times New Roman">2<sup>64</sup>&minus;2<sup>53</sup></span>) values are called the finite numbers. Half of these are
positive numbers and half are negative numbers; for every finite positive Number value there is a corresponding negative
value having the same magnitude.</p>
<p>Note that there is both a <b>positive zero</b> and a <b>negative zero</b>. For brevity, these values are also referred to
for expository purposes by the symbols <span class="value">+0</span> and <span class="value">&minus;0</span>, respectively.
(Note that these two different zero Number values are produced by the program expressions <code>+0</code> (or simply
<code>0</code>) and <code>-0</code>.)</p>
<p>The <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">18437736874454810622</span> (that is, <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">2<sup>64</sup>&minus;2<sup>53</sup>&minus;2</span>) finite nonzero values are of two kinds:</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">18428729675200069632</span> (that is, <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">2<sup>64</sup>&minus;2<sup>54</sup></span>) of them are normalized, having the form</p>
<div class="math-display"><i>s</i> &times; <i>m</i> &times; 2<sup><i>e</i></sup></div>
<p>where <var>s</var> is <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">+1</span> or <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">&minus;1</span>, <var>m</var> is a positive integer less than <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">2<sup>53</sup></span> but not less than <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">2<sup>52</sup></span>, and
<var>e</var> is an integer ranging from <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&minus;1074</span> to <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">971</span>, inclusive.</p>
<p>The remaining <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">9007199254740990</span> (that is, <span style="font-family:
Times New Roman">2<sup>53</sup>&minus;2</span>) values are denormalized, having the form</p>
<div class="math-display"><i>s</i> &times; <i>m</i> &times; 2<sup><i>e</i></sup></div>
<p>where <var>s</var> is <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">+1</span> or <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">&minus;1</span>, <var>m</var> is a positive integer less than <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">2<sup>52</sup></span>, and <var>e</var> is <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&minus;1074</span>.</p>
<p>Note that all the positive and negative integers whose magnitude is no greater than <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">2<sup>53</sup></span> are representable in the Number type (indeed, the integer <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">0</span> has two representations, <code>+0</code> and <code>-0</code>).</p>
<p>A finite number has an <i>odd significand</i> if it is nonzero and the integer <var>m</var> used to express it (in one of
the two forms shown above) is odd. Otherwise, it has an <i>even significand</i>.</p>
<p>In this specification, the phrase &ldquo;<span style="font-family: Times New Roman">the Number value for
<i>x</i></span>&rdquo; where <var>x</var> represents an exact nonzero real mathematical quantity (which might even be an
irrational number such as <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&pi;</span>) means a Number value chosen in the
following manner. Consider the set of all finite values of the Number type, with <span class="value">&minus;0</span> removed
and with two additional values added to it that are not representable in the Number type, namely <span style="font-family:
Times New Roman">2<sup>1024</sup></span> (which is <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">+1 &times;
2<sup>53</sup></span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&times; 2<sup>971</sup></span>) and <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">&minus;2<sup>1024</sup></span> (which is <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">&minus;1 &times; 2<sup>53</sup></span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&times; 2<sup>971</sup></span>).
Choose the member of this set that is closest in value to <var>x</var>. If two values of the set are equally close, then the
one with an even significand is chosen; for this purpose, the two extra values <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">2<sup>1024</sup></span> and <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&minus;2<sup>1024</sup></span> are considered
to have even significands. Finally, if <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">2<sup>1024</sup></span> was chosen,
replace it with <span class="value">+&infin;</span>; if <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">&minus;2<sup>1024</sup></span> was chosen, replace it with <span class="value">&minus;&infin;</span>; if <span
class="value">+0</span> was chosen, replace it with <span class="value">&minus;0</span> if and only if <var>x</var> is less
than zero; any other chosen value is used unchanged. The result is the Number value for <var>x</var>. (This procedure
corresponds exactly to the behaviour of the IEEE 754 &ldquo;round to nearest, ties to even&rdquo; mode.)</p>
<p>Some ECMAScript operators deal only with integers in specific ranges such as <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">&minus;2<sup>31</sup></span> through <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">2<sup>31</sup>&minus;1</span>,
inclusive, or in the range <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">0</span> through <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman">2<sup>16</sup>&minus;1</span>, inclusive. These operators accept any value of the Number type but first convert each
such value to an integer value in the expected range. See the descriptions of the numeric conversion operations in <a
href="#sec-type-conversion">7.1</a>.</p>

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-6.1.7"><a href="#sec-object-type" title="link to this section">6.1.7</a></span> The
Object Type</h1>
<p>An Object is logically a collection of properties. Each property is either a data property, or an accessor
property:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>A <i>data property</i> associates a key value with an <a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types">ECMAScript language
value</a> and a set of Boolean attributes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>An <i>accessor property</i> associates a key value with one or two accessor functions, and a set of Boolean
attributes. The accessor functions are used to store or retrieve an <a
href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types">ECMAScript language value</a> that is associated with the property.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Properties are identified using key values. A property key value is either an ECMAScript String value or a Symbol
value. All String and Symbol values, including the empty string, are valid as property keys. A <i>property name</i> is a
property key that is a String value.</p>
<p>An <i>integer index</i> is a String-valued property key that is a canonical numeric String (<a
href="#sec-canonicalnumericindexstring">see 7.1.16</a>) and whose numeric value is either <span style="font-family: Times
New Roman">+0</span> or a positive integer &le; 2<sup>53</sup>&minus;1. An <i>array index</i> is an integer index whose
numeric value <var>i</var> is in the range <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">+0 &le; <i>i</i></span> <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">&lt; 2<sup>32</sup>&minus;1.</span></p>
<p>Property keys are used to access properties and their values. There are two kinds of access for properties: <i>get</i>
and <i>set</i>, corresponding to value retrieval and assignment, respectively. The properties accessible via get and set
access includes both <i>own properties</i> that are a direct part of an object and <i>inherited properties</i> which are
provided by another associated object via a property inheritance relationship. Inherited properties may be either own or
inherited properties of the associated object. Each own property of an object must each have a key value that is distinct
from the key values of the other own properties of that object.</p>
<p>All objects are logically collections of properties, but there are multiple forms of objects that differ in their
semantics for accessing and manipulating their properties. O<i>rdinary objects</i> are the most common form of objects and
have the default object semantics. An <i>exotic object</i> is any form of object whose property semantics differ in any
way from the default semantics.</p>

title="link to this section">6.1.7.2</a></span> Object Internal Methods and Internal Slots</h1>
<p>The actual semantics of objects, in ECMAScript, are specified via algorithms called <i>internal methods</i>. Each
object in an ECMAScript engine is associated with a set of internal methods that defines its runtime behaviour. These
internal methods are not part of the ECMAScript language. They are defined by this specification purely for expository
purposes. However, each object within an implementation of ECMAScript must behave as specified by the internal methods
associated with it. The exact manner in which this is accomplished is determined by the implementation.</p>
<p>Internal method names are polymorphic. This means that different object values may perform different algorithms when a
common internal method name is invoked upon them. That actual object upon which an internal method is invoked is the
&ldquo;target&rdquo; of the invocation. If, at runtime, the implementation of an algorithm attempts to use an internal
method of an object that the object does not support, a <b>TypeError</b> exception is thrown.</p>
<p>Internal slots correspond to internal state that is associated with objects and used by various ECMAScript
specification algorithms. Internal slots are not object properties and they are not inherited. Depending upon the specific
internal slot specification, such state may consist of values of any <a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types">ECMAScript
language type</a> or of specific ECMAScript specification type values. Unless explicitly specified otherwise, internal
slots are allocated as part of the process of creating an object and may not be dynamically added to an object. Unless
specified otherwise, the initial value of an internal slot is the value <span class="value">undefined</span>. Various
algorithms within this specification create objects that have internal slots. However, the ECMAScript language provides no
direct way to associate internal slots with an object.</p>
<p>Internal methods and internal slots are identified within this specification using names enclosed in double square
brackets [[ ]].</p>
<p><a href="#table-5">Table 5</a> summarizes the <i>essential internal methods</i> used by this specification that are
applicable to all objects created or manipulated by ECMAScript code. Every object must have algorithms for all of the
essential internal methods. However, all objects do not necessarily use the same algorithms for those methods.</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Signature&rdquo; column of <a href="#table-5">Table 5</a> and other similar tables describes the invocation
pattern for each internal method. The invocation pattern always includes a parenthesized list of descriptive parameter
names. If a parameter name is the same as an ECMAScript type name then the name describes the required type of the
parameter value. If an internal method explicitly returns a value, its parameter list is followed by the symbol
&ldquo;&rarr;&rdquo; and the type name of the returned value. The type names used in signatures refer to the types defined
in <a href="#sec-ecmascript-data-types-and-values">clause 6</a> augmented by the following additional names.
&ldquo;<i>any</i>&rdquo; means the value may be any <a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types">ECMAScript language type</a>.
An internal method implicitly returns a <a href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a> as
described in <a href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">6.2.2</a>. In addition to its parameters, an internal
method always has access to the object that is the target of the method invocation.</p>

<p>The semantics of the essential internal methods for ordinary objects and standard exotic objects are specified in <a

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-6.1.7.3"><a href="#sec-invariants-of-the-essential-internal-methods"
title="link to this section">6.1.7.3</a></span> Invariants of the Essential Internal Methods</h1>
<p>The Internal Methods of Objects of an ECMAScript engine must conform to the list of invariants specified below.
Ordinary ECMAScript Objects as well as all standard exotic objects in this specification maintain these invariants.
ECMAScript Proxy objects maintain these invariants by means of runtime checks on the result of traps invoked on the
[[ProxyHandler]] object.</p>
<p>Any implementation provided exotic objects must also maintain these invariants for those objects. Violation of these
invariants may cause ECMAScript code to have unpredictable behaviour and create security issues. However, violation of
these invariants must never compromise the memory safety of an implementation.</p>
<p>An implementation must not allow these invariants to be circumvented in any manner such as by providing alternative
interfaces that implement the functionality of the essential internal methods without enforcing their invariants.</p>
<p>Definitions:</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The <i>target</i> of an internal method is the object upon which the internal method is called.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;A target is <i>non-extensible</i> if it has been observed to return false from its [[IsExtensible]]
internal method, or true from its [[PreventExtensions]] internal method.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;A <i>non-existent</i> property is a property that does not exist as an own property on a non-extensible
target.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;All references to <i><a href="#sec-samevalue">SameValue</a></i> are according to the definition of <a
href="#sec-samevalue">SameValue</a> algorithm specified in <a href="#sec-samevalue">7.2.9</a>.</p>
<p><b>[[GetPrototypeOf]] ( )</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be either Object or Null.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If target is non-extensible, and [[GetPrototypeOf]] returns a value v, then any future calls to
[[GetPrototypeOf]] should return the <a href="#sec-samevalue">SameValue</a> as v.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> An object&rsquo;s prototype chain should have finite length (that is, starting from any
object, recursively applying the [[GetPrototypeOf]] internal method to its result should eventually lead to the value
null). However, this requirement is not enforceable as an object level invariant if the prototype chain includes any
exotic objects that do not use the ordinary object definition of [[GetPrototypeOf]]. Such a circular prototype chain may
result in infinite loops when accessing object properties.</p>
</div>
<p><b>[[SetPrototypeOf]] (V)</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be Boolean.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If target is non-extensible, [[SetPrototypeOf]] must return false, unless V is the <a
href="#sec-samevalue">SameValue</a> as the target&rsquo;s observed [[GetPrototypeOf]] value.</p>
<p><b>[[PreventExtensions]] ( )</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be Boolean.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If [[PreventExtensions]] returns true, all future calls to [[IsExtensible]] on the target must return
false and the target is now considered non-extensible.</p>
<p><b>[[GetOwnProperty]] (P)</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be either <a
href="#sec-property-descriptor-specification-type">Property Descriptor</a> or Undefined.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If the Type of the return value is <a href="#sec-property-descriptor-specification-type">Property
Descriptor</a>, the return value must be a complete property descriptor (<a href="#sec-completepropertydescriptor">see
6.2.4.6</a>).</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If a property P is described as a data property with Desc.[[Value]] equal to v and Desc.[[Writable]] and
Desc.[[Configurable]] are both false, then the <a href="#sec-samevalue">SameValue</a> must be returned for the
Desc.[[Value]] attribute of the property on all future calls to [[GetOwnProperty]] ( P ).</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If P&rsquo;s attributes other than [[Writable]] may change over time or if the property might disappear,
then P&rsquo;s [[Configurable]] attribute must be true.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If the [[Writable]] attribute may change from false to true, then the [[Configurable]] attribute must be
true.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If the target is non-extensible and P is non-existent, then all future calls to [[GetOwnProperty]] (P)
on the target must describe P as non-existent (i.e. [[GetOwnProperty]] (P) must return undefined).</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> As a consequence of the third invariant, if a property is described as a data property
and it may return different values over time, then either or both of the Desc.[[Writable]] and Desc.[[Configurable]]
attributes must be true even if no mechanism to change the value is exposed via the other internal methods.</p>
</div>
<p><b>[[DefineOwnProperty]] (P, Desc)</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be Boolean.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;[[DefineOwnProperty]] must return false if P has previously been observed as a non-configurable own
property of the target, unless either:</p>
<p>1.&#x9;P is a non-configurable writable own data property. A non-configurable writable data property can be changed
into a non-configurable non-writable data property.</p>
<p>2.&#x9;All attributes in Desc are the <a href="#sec-samevalue">SameValue</a> as P&rsquo;s attributes.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;[[DefineOwnProperty]] (P, Desc) must return false if target is non-extensible and P is a non-existent own
property. That is, a non-extensible target object cannot be extended with new properties.</p>
<p><b>[[HasProperty]] ( P )</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be Boolean.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If P was previously observed as a non-configurable data or accessor own property of the target,
[[HasProperty]] must return true.</p>
<p><b>[[Get]] (P, Receiver)</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If P was previously observed as a non-configurable, non-writable own data property of the target with
value v, then [[Get]] must return the <a href="#sec-samevalue">SameValue</a>.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If P was previously observed as a non-configurable own accessor property of the target whose [[Get]]
attribute is undefined, the [[Get]] operation must return undefined.</p>
<p><b>[[Set]] ( P, V, Receiver)</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be Boolean.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If P was previously observed as a non-configurable, non-writable own data property of the target, then
[[Set]] must return false unless V is the <a href="#sec-samevalue">SameValue</a> as P&rsquo;s [[Value]] attribute.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If P was previously observed as a non-configurable own accessor property of the target whose [[Set]]
attribute is undefined, the [[Set]] operation must return false.</p>
<p><b>[[Delete]] ( P )</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be Boolean.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;If P was previously observed to be a non-configurable own data or accessor property of the target,
[[Delete]] must return false.</p>
<p><b>[[Enumerate]] ( )</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The Type of the return value must be Object.</p>
<p><b>[[OwnPropertyKeys]] ( )</b></p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The return value must be a <a href="#sec-list-and-record-specification-type">List</a>.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp; The Type of each element of the returned <a href="#sec-list-and-record-specification-type">List</a> is
either String or Symbol.</p>
<p>&#x25cf;&emsp;The returned <a href="#sec-list-and-record-specification-type">List</a> must contain at least the keys of

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-6.2"><a href="#sec-ecmascript-specification-types"
title="link to this section">6.2</a></span> ECMAScript Specification Types</h1>
<p>A specification type corresponds to meta-values that are used within algorithms to describe the semantics of ECMAScript
language constructs and ECMAScript language types. The specification types are <a
href="#sec-reference-specification-type">Reference</a>, <a href="#sec-list-and-record-specification-type">List</a>, <a
href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion</a>, <a
href="#sec-property-descriptor-specification-type">Property Descriptor</a>, <a href="#sec-lexical-environments">Lexical
Environment</a>, <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a>, and <a href="#sec-data-blocks">Data Block</a>.
Specification type values are specification artefacts that do not necessarily correspond to any specific entity within an
ECMAScript implementation. Specification type values may be used to describe intermediate results of ECMAScript expression
evaluation but such values cannot be stored as properties of objects or values of ECMAScript language variables.</p>
</div>
<section id="sec-list-and-record-specification-type">
<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-6.2.1"><a href="#sec-list-and-record-specification-type"
title="link to this section">6.2.1</a></span> The List and Record Specification Type</h1>
<p>The List type is used to explain the evaluation of argument lists (<a href="#sec-argument-lists">see 12.3.6</a>) in
<code>new</code> expressions, in function calls, and in other algorithms where a simple ordered list of values is needed.
Values of the List type are simply ordered sequences of list elements containing the individual values. These sequences may
be of any length. The elements of a list may be randomly accessed using 0-origin indices. For notational convenience an
array-like syntax can be used to access List elements. For example, <i>arguments</i>[2] is shorthand for saying the
3<sup>rd</sup> element of the List <i>arguments</i>.</p>
<p>For notational convenience within this specification, a literal syntax can be used to express a new List value. For
example, &laquo;1, 2&raquo; defines a List value that has two elements each of which is initialized to a specific value. A
new empty List can be expressed as &laquo;&raquo;.</p>
<p>The Record type is used to describe data aggregations within the algorithms of this specification. A Record type value
consists of one or more named fields. The value of each field is either an ECMAScript value or an abstract value represented
by a name associated with the Record type. Field names are always enclosed in double brackets, for example [[value]].</p>
<p>For notational convenience within this specification, an object literal-like syntax can be used to express a Record
value. For example, {[[field1]]: 42, [[field2]]: <b>false</b>, [[field3]]: <b>empty</b>} defines a Record value that has
three fields, each of which is initialized to a specific value. Field name order is not significant. Any fields that are not
explicitly listed are considered to be absent.</p>
<p>In specification text and algorithms, dot notation may be used to refer to a specific field of a Record value. For
example, if R is the record shown in the previous paragraph then R.[[field2]] is shorthand for &ldquo;the field of R named
[[field2]]&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Schema for commonly used Record field combinations may be named, and that name may be used as a prefix to a literal
Record value to identify the specific kind of aggregations that is being described. For example:
PropertyDescriptor{[[Value]]: 42, [[Writable]]: <b>false</b>, [[Configurable]]: <b>true</b>}.</p>

<p>The Completion type is a Record used to explain the runtime propagation of values and control flow such as the

<p>The abstract operation NormalCompletion with a single <i>argument</i>, such as:</p>
<ol class="proc">
<li>Return NormalCompletion(<i>argument</i>).</li>

<p>Is a shorthand that is defined as follows:</p>
<ol class="proc">

<p>The algorithms of this specification often implicitly return <a
href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion</a> Records whose [[type]] is <b>normal</b>. Unless it is
otherwise obvious from the context, an algorithm statement that returns a value that is not a <a
href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a>, such as:</p>
<ol class="proc">
<li>Return <code>"Infinity"</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>means the same thing as:</p>
<ol class="proc">
<li>Return <a href="#sec-normalcompletion">NormalCompletion</a>(<code>"Infinity"</code>).</li>
</ol>
<p>However, if the value expression of a &ldquo;<span style="font-family: Times New Roman">return</span>&rdquo; statement
is a <a href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a> construction literal, the resulting <a
href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a> is returned. If the value expression is a call to
an abstract operation, the &ldquo;<span style="font-family: Times New Roman">return</span>&rdquo; statement simply returns
the <a href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a> produced by the abstract operation.</p>
<p>The abstract operation <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><a
href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion</a>(<i>completionRecord</i>)</span> is used to emphasize that
a previously computed <a href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a> is being returned. The <a
href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion</a> abstract operation takes a single argument,
<var>completionRecord</var>, and performs the following steps: such as</p>
<ol class="proc">
<li><a href="#sec-algorithm-conventions">Assert</a>: <i>completionRecord</i> is a <a
href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a>.</li>
<li>Return <i>completionRecord</i> as the <a href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a> of
this abstract operation.</li>
</ol>
<p>A &ldquo;<span style="font-family: Times New Roman">return</span>&rdquo; statement without a value in an algorithm step
means the same thing as:</p>
<ol class="proc">
<li>Return <a href="#sec-normalcompletion">NormalCompletion</a>(<b>undefined</b>).</li>
</ol>
<p>Any reference to a <a href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a> value that is in a context
that does not explicitly require a complete <a href="#sec-completion-record-specification-type">Completion Record</a>
value is equivalent to an explicit reference to the [[value]] field of the <a

<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> The Reference type is used to explain the behaviour of such operators as
<code>delete</code>, <code>typeof</code>, the assignment operators, the <code>super</code> keyword and other language
features. For example, the left-hand operand of an assignment is expected to produce a reference.</p>
</div>
<p>A <b>Reference</b> is a resolved name or property binding. A Reference consists of three components, the
<var>base</var> value, the <var>referenced name</var> and the Boolean valued <var>strict reference</var> flag. The
<var>base</var> value is either <b>undefined</b>, an Object, a Boolean, a String, a Symbol, a Number, or an <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> (<a href="#sec-environment-records">8.1.1</a>). A <var>base</var>
value of <b>undefined</b> indicates that the Reference could not be resolved to a binding. The <var>referenced name</var>
is a String or Symbol value.</p>
<p>A Super Reference is a Reference that is used to represents a name binding that was expressed using the super keyword.
A Super Reference has an additional <var>thisValue</var> component and its <var>base</var> value will never be an <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a>.</p>
<p>The following abstract operations are used in this specification to access the components of references:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>GetBase(V). Returns the <i>base</i> value component of the reference V.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>GetReferencedName(V). Returns the <i>referenced name</i> component of the reference V.</p>

<li>
<p>IsStrictReference(V). Returns the <i>strict reference</i> flag component of the reference V.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>HasPrimitiveBase(V). Returns <b>true</b> if <a href="#sec-ecmascript-data-types-and-values">Type</a>(<i>base</i>)
is Boolean, String, Symbol, or Number.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>IsPropertyReference(V). Returns <b>true</b> if either the <i>base</i> value is an object or HasPrimitiveBase(V) is
<b>true</b>; otherwise returns <b>false</b>.</p>

<p>IsUnresolvableReference(V). Returns <b>true</b> if the <i>base</i> value is <b>undefined</b> and <b>false</b>

<p>The Property Descriptor type is used to explain the manipulation and reification of Object property attributes. Values
of the Property Descriptor type are Records. Each field&rsquo;s name is an attribute name and its value is a corresponding
attribute value as specified in <a href="#sec-property-attributes">6.1.7.1</a>. In addition, any field may be present or
absent. The schema name used within this specification to tag literal descriptions of Property Descriptor records is
&ldquo;PropertyDescriptor&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Property Descriptor values may be further classified as data Property Descriptors and accessor Property Descriptors
based upon the existence or use of certain fields. A data Property Descriptor is one that includes any fields named either
[[Value]] or [[Writable]]. An accessor Property Descriptor is one that includes any fields named either [[Get]] or
[[Set]]. Any Property Descriptor may have fields named [[Enumerable]] and [[Configurable]]. A Property Descriptor value
may not be both a data Property Descriptor and an accessor Property Descriptor; however, it may be neither. A generic
Property Descriptor is a Property Descriptor value that is neither a data Property Descriptor nor an accessor Property
Descriptor. A fully populated Property Descriptor is one that is either an accessor Property Descriptor or a data Property
Descriptor and that has all of the fields that correspond to the property attributes defined in either <a
href="#table-2">Table 2</a> or <a href="#table-3">Table 3</a>.</p>
<p>The following abstract operations are used in this specification to operate upon Property Descriptor values:</p>

<p>The conversion of a String to a Number value is similar overall to the determination of the Number value for a
numeric literal (<a href="#sec-literals-numeric-literals">see 11.8.3</a>), but some of the details are different, so the
process for converting a String numeric literal to a value of Number type is given here. This value is determined in two
steps: first, a mathematical value (MV) is derived from the String numeric literal; second, this mathematical value is
rounded as described below. The MV on any grammar symbol, not provided below, is the MV for that symbol defined in <a

<p>Once the exact MV for a String numeric literal has been determined, it is then rounded to a value of the Number type.
If the MV is 0, then the rounded value is +0 unless the first non white space code point in the String numeric literal
is &lsquo;<code>-</code>&rsquo;, in which case the rounded value is &minus;0. Otherwise, the rounded value must be the
Number value for the MV (in the sense defined in <a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types-number-type">6.1.6</a>), unless
the literal includes a <span class="nt">StrUnsignedDecimalLiteral</span> and the literal has more than 20 significant
digits, in which case the Number value may be either the Number value for the MV of a literal produced by replacing each
significant digit after the 20th with a 0 digit or the Number value for the MV of a literal produced by replacing each
significant digit after the 20th with a 0 digit and then incrementing the literal at the 20th digit position. A digit is
significant if it is not part of an <span class="nt">ExponentPart</span> and</p>
<ul>
<li>it is not <code>0</code>; or</li>
<li>there is a nonzero digit to its left and there is a nonzero digit, not in the <span
class="nt">ExponentPart</span>, to its right.</li>

<p>The comparison <var>x</var> &lt; <var>y</var>, where <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> are values, produces <b>true</b>,
<b>false</b>, or <b>undefined</b> (which indicates that at least one operand is <b>NaN</b>). In addition to <var>x</var> and
<var>y</var> the algorithm takes a Boolean flag named <span class="nt">LeftFirst</span> as a parameter. The flag is used to
control the order in which operations with potentially visible side-effects are performed upon <var>x</var> and
<var>y</var>. It is necessary because ECMAScript specifies left to right evaluation of expressions. The default value of
<span class="nt">LeftFirst</span> is <b>true</b> and indicates that the <var>x</var> parameter corresponds to an expression
that occurs to the left of the <var>y</var> parameter&rsquo;s corresponding expression. If <span class="nt">LeftFirst</span>

Lexical Environments</h1>
<p>A <i>Lexical Environment</i> is a specification type used to define the association of <span
class="nt">Identifiers</span> to specific variables and functions based upon the lexical nesting structure of ECMAScript
code. A Lexical Environment consists of an <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> and a possibly null
reference to an <i>outer</i> Lexical Environment. Usually a Lexical Environment is associated with some specific syntactic
structure of ECMAScript code such as a <span class="nt">FunctionDeclaration</span>, a <span
class="nt">BlockStatement</span>, or a <span class="nt">Catch</span> clause of a <span class="nt">TryStatement</span> and a
new Lexical Environment is created each time such code is evaluated.</p>
<p>An <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> records the identifier bindings that are created within the
scope of its associated Lexical Environment. It is referred to as the Lexical Environment&rsquo;s EnvironmentRecord</p>
<p>The outer environment reference is used to model the logical nesting of Lexical Environment values. The outer reference
of a (inner) Lexical Environment is a reference to the Lexical Environment that logically surrounds the inner Lexical
Environment. An outer Lexical Environment may, of course, have its own outer Lexical Environment. A Lexical Environment may
serve as the outer environment for multiple inner Lexical Environments. For example, if a <span
class="nt">FunctionDeclaration</span> contains two nested <span class="nt">FunctionDeclarations</span> then the Lexical
Environments of each of the nested functions will have as their outer Lexical Environment the Lexical Environment of the
current evaluation of the surrounding function.</p>
<p>A <i>global environment</i> is a Lexical Environment which does not have an outer environment. The global
environment&rsquo;s outer environment reference is <b>null</b>. A global environment&rsquo;s <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> may be prepopulated with identifier bindings and includes an
associated <i>global object</i> whose properties provide some of <a href="#sec-global-environment-records">the global
environment</a>&rsquo;s identifier bindings. This global object is the value of a global environment&rsquo;s
<code>this</code> binding. As ECMAScript code is executed, additional properties may be added to the global object and the
initial properties may be modified.</p>
<p>A <i>module environment</i> is a Lexical Environment that contains the bindings for the top level declarations of a <span
class="nt">Module</span>. It also contains the bindings that are explicitly imported by the <span class="nt">Module</span>.
The outer environment of a module environment is a global environment.</p>
<p>A <i>function environment</i> is a Lexical Environment that corresponds to the invocation of an <a
href="#sec-ecmascript-function-objects">ECMAScript function object</a>. A function environment may establish a new
<code>this</code> binding. A function environment also captures the state necessary to support <code>super</code> method
invocations.</p>
<p>Lexical Environments and <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> values are purely specification
mechanisms and need not correspond to any specific artefact of an ECMAScript implementation. It is impossible for an
ECMAScript program to directly access or manipulate such values.</p>
</div>
<section id="sec-environment-records">
<div class="front">
<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-8.1.1"><a href="#sec-environment-records" title="link to this section">8.1.1</a></span>
Environment Records</h1>
<p>There are two primary kinds of Environment Record values used in this specification: <i>declarative Environment
Records</i> and <i>object Environment Records</i>. Declarative Environment Records are used to define the effect of
ECMAScript language syntactic elements such as <span class="nt">FunctionDeclarations</span>, <span
class="nt">VariableDeclarations</span>, and <span class="nt">Catch</span> clauses that directly associate identifier
bindings with <a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types">ECMAScript language values</a>. Object Environment Records are used
to define the effect of ECMAScript elements such as <span class="nt">WithStatement</span> that associate identifier
bindings with the properties of some object. <a href="#sec-global-environment-records">Global Environment Records</a> and
function Environment Records are specializations that are used for specifically for <span class="nt">Script</span> global
declarations and for top-level declarations within functions.</p>
<p>For specification purposes Environment Record values are values of the Record specification type and can be thought of
as existing in a simple object-oriented hierarchy where Environment Record is an abstract class with three concrete
subclasses, declarative Environment Record, object Environment Record, and global Environment Record. <a
href="#sec-function-environment-records">Function Environment Records</a> and module Environment Records are subclasses of
declarative Environment Record. The abstract class includes the abstract specification methods defined in <a
href="#table-15">Table 15</a>. These abstract methods have distinct concrete algorithms for each of the concrete
subclasses.</p>

<p>Each object <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> is associated with an object called its
<i>binding object</i>. An object <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> binds the set of string
identifier names that directly correspond to the property names of its binding object. Property keys that are not
strings in the form of an <span class="nt">IdentifierName</span> are not included in the set of bound identifiers. Both
own and inherited properties are included in the set regardless of the setting of their [[Enumerable]] attribute.
Because properties can be dynamically added and deleted from objects, the set of identifiers bound by an object <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> may potentially change as a side-effect of any operation that
adds or deletes properties. Any bindings that are created as a result of such a side-effect are considered to be a
mutable binding even if the Writable attribute of the corresponding property has the value <b>false</b>. Immutable
bindings do not exist for object Environment Records.</p>
<p>Object Environment Records created for <code>with</code> statements (<a href="#sec-with-statement">13.10</a>) can
provide their binding object as an implicit <b>this</b> value for use in function calls. The capability is controlled by
a <var>withEnvironment</var> Boolean value that is associated with each object <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a>. By default, the value of <var>withEnvironment</var> is
<b>false</b> for any object <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a>.</p>

title="link to this section">8.1.1.4</a></span> Global Environment Records</h1>
<p>A global <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> is used to represent the outer most scope that is
shared by all of the ECMAScript <span class="nt">Script</span> elements that are processed in a common <a
href="#sec-code-realms">Realm</a> (<a href="#sec-code-realms">8.2</a>). A global <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> provides the bindings for built-in globals (<a
href="#sec-global-object">clause 18</a>), properties of the global object, and for all top-level declarations (<a
href="#sec-block-static-semantics-toplevellexicallyscopeddeclarations">13.1.8</a>, <a
href="#sec-block-static-semantics-toplevelvarscopeddeclarations">13.1.10</a>) that occur within a <span
class="nt">Script</span>.</p>
<p>A global <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> is logically a single record but it is specified
as a composite encapsulating an object <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> and a declarative <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a>. The object <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment
Record</a> has as its base object the global object of the associated <a href="#sec-code-realms">Realm</a>. This global
object is the value returned by the global <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a>&rsquo;s
GetThisBinding concrete method. The object <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> component of a
global <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> contains the bindings for all built-in globals (<a
href="#sec-global-object">clause 18</a>) and all bindings introduced by a <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman"><i>FunctionDeclaration</i>, <i>GeneratorDeclaration</i></span>, or <span class="nt">VariableStatement</span>
contained in global code. The bindings for all other ECMAScript declarations in global code are contained in the
declarative <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> component of the global <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a>.</p>
<p>Properties may be created directly on a global object. Hence, the object <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> component of a global <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> may contain both bindings created explicitly by <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>FunctionDeclaration</i>, <i>GeneratorDeclaration</i></span>, or <span
class="nt">VariableDeclaration</span> declarations and binding created implicitly as properties of the global object. In
order to identify which bindings were explicitly created using declarations, a global <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> maintains a list of the names bound using its
CreateGlobalVarBindings and CreateGlobalFunctionBindings concrete methods.</p>
<p>Global Environment Records have the additional fields listed in <a href="#table-18">Table 18</a> and the additional
methods listed in <a href="#table-19">Table 19</a>.</p>

<p>A module <a href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> is a declarative <a
href="#sec-environment-records">Environment Record</a> that is used to represent the outer scope of an ECMAScript <span
class="nt">Module</span>. In additional to normal mutable and immutable bindings, module Environment Records also
provide immutable import bindings which are bindings that provide indirect access to a target binding that exists in
another Environment Record.</p>
<p>Module Environment Records support all of the declarative Environment Record methods listed in <a
href="#table-15">Table 15</a> and share the same specifications for all of those methods except for GetBindingValue,
DeleteBinding, HasThisBinding and GetThisBinding. In addition, module Environment Records support the methods listed in
<a href="#table-20">Table 20</a>:</p>

Execution Contexts</h1>
<p>An <i>execution context</i> is a specification device that is used to track the runtime evaluation of code by an
ECMAScript implementation. At any point in time, there is at most one execution context that is actually executing code.
This is known as the <i>running</i> execution context. A stack is used to track execution contexts. The running execution
context is always the top element of this stack. A new execution context is created whenever control is transferred from the
executable code associated with the currently running execution context to executable code that is not associated with that
execution context. The newly created execution context is pushed onto the stack and becomes the running execution
context.</p>
<p>An execution context contains whatever implementation specific state is necessary to track the execution progress of its
associated code. Each execution context has at least the state components listed in <a href="#table-22">Table 22</a>.</p>
<figure>
<figcaption><span id="table-22">Table 22</span> &mdash;State Components for All Execution Contexts</figcaption>
<table class="real-table">
<tr>
<th>Component</th>
<th>Purpose</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>code evaluation state</td>
<td>Any state needed to perform, suspend, and resume evaluation of the code associated with this execution context.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Function</td>
<td>If this execution context is evaluating the code of a function object, then the value of this component is that function object. If the context is evaluating the code of a <span class="nt">Script</span> or <span class="nt">Module</span>, the value is <span class="value">null</span>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="#sec-code-realms">Realm</a></td>
<td>The <a href="#sec-code-realms">Realm</a> from which associated code accesses ECMAScript resources.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</figure>
<p>Evaluation of code by the running execution context may be suspended at various points defined within this specification.
Once the running execution context has been suspended a different execution context may become the running execution context
and commence evaluating its code. At some later time a suspended execution context may again become the running execution
context and continue evaluating its code at the point where it had previously been suspended. Transition of the running
execution context status among execution contexts usually occurs in stack-like last-in/first-out manner. However, some
ECMAScript features require non-LIFO transitions of the running execution context.</p>
<p>The value of the <a href="#sec-code-realms">Realm</a> component of the running execution context is also called the
<i>current <a href="#sec-code-realms">Realm</a></i>. The value of the Function component of the running execution context is
also called the <i>active function object.</i></p>
<p>Execution contexts for ECMAScript code have the additional state components listed in <a href="#table-23">Table
23</a>.</p>

</table>
</figure>
<p>The LexicalEnvironment and VariableEnvironment components of an execution context are always Lexical Environments. When
an execution context is created its LexicalEnvironment and VariableEnvironment components initially have the same value.</p>
<p>Execution contexts representing the evaluation of generator objects have the additional state components listed in <a
href="#table-24">Table 24</a>.</p>

<p>In most situations only the running execution context (the top of the execution context stack) is directly manipulated by
algorithms within this specification. Hence when the terms &ldquo;LexicalEnvironment&rdquo;, and
&ldquo;VariableEnvironment&rdquo; are used without qualification they are in reference to those components of the running
execution context.</p>
<p>An execution context is purely a specification mechanism and need not correspond to any particular artefact of an
ECMAScript implementation. It is impossible for ECMAScript code to directly access or observe an execution context.</p>

<p>A Job is an abstract operation that initiates an ECMAScript computation when no other ECMAScript computation is currently
in progress. A Job abstract operation may be defined to accept an arbitrary set of job parameters.</p>
<p>Execution of a Job can be initiated only when there is no running <a href="#sec-execution-contexts">execution context</a>
and <a href="#sec-execution-contexts">the execution context stack</a> is empty. A PendingJob is a request for the future
execution of a Job. A PendingJob is an internal Record whose fields are specified in <a href="#table-25">Table 25</a>. Once
execution of a Job is initiated, the Job always executes to completion. No other Job may be initiated until the currently
running Job completes. However, the currently running Job or external events may cause the enqueuing of additional
PendingJobs that may be initiated sometime after completion of the currently running Job.</p>

<p>A Job Queue is a FIFO queue of PendingJob records. Each Job Queue has a name and the full set of available Job Queues are
defined by an ECMAScript implementation. Every ECMAScript implementation has at least the Job Queues defined in <a

<p>A request for the future execution of a Job is made by enqueueing, on a Job Queue, a PendingJob record that includes a
Job abstract operation name and any necessary argument values. When there is no running <a
href="#sec-execution-contexts">execution context</a> and <a href="#sec-execution-contexts">the execution context stack</a>
is empty, the ECMAScript implementation removes the first PendingJob from a Job Queue and uses the information contained in
it to create an <a href="#sec-execution-contexts">execution context</a> and starts execution of the associated Job abstract
operation.</p>
<p>The PendingJob records from a single Job Queue are always initiated in FIFO order. This specification does not define the
order in which multiple Job Queues are serviced. An ECMAScript implementation may interweave the FIFO evaluation of the
PendingJob records of a Job Queue with the evaluation of the PendingJob records of one or more other Job Queues. An
implementation must define what occurs when there are no running <a href="#sec-execution-contexts">execution context</a> and
all Job Queues are empty.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> Typically an ECMAScript implementation will have its Job Queues pre-initialized with at
least one PendingJob and one of those Jobs will be the first to be executed. An implementation might choose to free all
resources and terminate if the current Job completes and all Job Queues are empty. Alternatively, it might choose to wait
for a some implementation specific agent or mechanism to enqueue new PendingJob requests.</p>

<p>When the [[Enumerate]] internal method of <var>O</var> is called the following steps are taken:</p>
<ol class="proc">
<li>Return an Iterator object (<a href="#sec-iterator-interface">25.1.1.2</a>) whose <code>next</code> method iterates
over all the String-valued keys of enumerable properties of <i>O</i>. The Iterator object must inherit from
%IteratorPrototype% (<a href="#sec-%iteratorprototype%-object">25.1.2</a>). The mechanics and order of enumerating the
properties is not specified but must conform to the rules specified below.</li>
</ol>
<p>The iterator&rsquo;s <code>next</code> method processes object properties to determine whether the <a
href="#sec-object-type">property key</a> should be returned as an iterator value. Returned property keys do not include keys
that are Symbols. Properties of the target object may be deleted during enumeration. A property that is deleted before it is
processed by the iterator&rsquo;s <code>next</code> method is ignored. If new properties are added to the target object
during enumeration, the newly added properties are not guaranteed to be processed in the active enumeration. A property name
will be returned by the iterator&rsquo;s <code>next</code> method at most once in any enumeration.</p>
<p>Enumerating the properties of the target object includes enumerating properties of its prototype, and the prototype of
the prototype, and so on, recursively; but a property of a prototype is not processed if it has the same name as a property
that has already been processed by the iterator&rsquo;s <code>next</code> method. The values of [[Enumerable]] attributes
are not considered when determining if a property of a prototype object has already been processed. The enumerable property
names of prototype objects must be obtained as if by invoking the prototype object&rsquo;s [[Enumerate]] internal method.
[[Enumerate]] must obtain the own property keys of the target object as if by calling its [[OwnPropertyKeys]] internal
method. Property attributes of the target object must be obtained as if by calling its [[GetOwnProperty]] internal
method.</p>
<p class="Note">NOTE The following is an informative definition of an ECMAScript generator function that conforms to these
rules:</p>

ECMAScript Function Objects</h1>
<p>ECMAScript function objects encapsulate parameterized ECMAScript code closed over a <a
href="#sec-lexical-environments">lexical environment</a> and support the dynamic evaluation of that code. An ECMAScript
function object is an ordinary object and has the same internal slots and the same internal methods as other ordinary
objects. The code of an ECMAScript function object may be either <a href="#sec-strict-mode-code">strict mode code</a> (<a
href="#sec-strict-mode-code">10.2.1</a>) or non-<a href="#sec-strict-mode-code">strict mode code</a>. An ECMAScript function
object whose code is <a href="#sec-strict-mode-code">strict mode code</a> is called a <i>strict function</i>. One whose code
is not <a href="#sec-strict-mode-code">strict mode code</a> is called a <i>non-strict function</i>.</p>
<p>ECMAScript function objects have the additional internal slots listed in <a href="#table-27">Table 27</a>.</p>

Built-in Function Objects</h1>
<p>The built-in function objects defined in this specification may be implemented as either ECMAScript function objects (<a
href="#sec-ecmascript-function-objects">9.2</a>) whose behaviour is provided using ECMAScript code or as implementation
provided exotic function objects whose behaviour is provided in some other manner. In either case, the effect of calling
such functions must conform to their specifications. An implementation may also provide additional built-in function objects
that are not defined in this specification.</p>
<p>If a built-in function object is implemented as an exotic object it must have the ordinary object behaviour specified in
<a href="#sec-ordinary-object-internal-methods-and-internal-slots">9.1</a>. All such exotic function objects also have
[[Prototype]], [[Extensible]], and [[Realm]] internal slots.</p>
<p>Unless otherwise specified every built-in function object has the %FunctionPrototype% object (<a
href="#sec-properties-of-the-function-prototype-object">19.2.3</a>) as the initial value of its [[Prototype]] <a
href="#sec-object-internal-methods-and-internal-slots">internal slot</a>.</p>
<p>The behaviour specified for each built-in function via algorithm steps or other means is the specification of the
function body behaviour for both [[Call]] and [[Construct]] invocations of the function. However, [[Construct]] invocation
is not supported by all built-in functions. For each built-in function, when invoked with [[Call]], the [[Call]]
<var>thisArgument</var> provides the <span class="value">this</span> value, the [[Call]] <var>argumentsList</var> provides
the named parameters, and the NewTarget value is <span class="value">undefined</span>. When invoked with [[Construct]], the
<span class="value">this</span> value is uninitialized, the [[Construct]] <var>argumentsList</var> provides the named
parameters, and the [[Construct]] <var>newTarget</var> parameter provides the NewTarget value. If the built-in function is
implemented as an <a href="#sec-ecmascript-function-objects">ECMAScript function object</a> then this specified behaviour
must be implemented by the ECMAScript code that is the body of the function. Built-in functions that are ECMAScript function
objects must be strict mode functions. If a built-in constructor has any [[Call]] behaviour other than throwing a <span
class="value">TypeError</span> exception, an ECMAScript implementation of the function must be done in a manner that does
not cause the function&rsquo;s [[FunctionKind]] <a href="#sec-object-internal-methods-and-internal-slots">internal slot</a>
to have the value <code>"classConstructor"</code>.</p>
<p>Built-in function objects that are not identified as constructors do not implement the [[Construct]] internal method
unless otherwise specified in the description of a particular function. When a built-in constructor is called as part of a
<code>new</code> expression the <var>argumentsList</var> parameter of the invoked [[Construct]] internal method provides the
values for the built-in constructor&rsquo;s named parameters.</p>
<p>Built-in functions that are not constructors do not have a <code>prototype</code> property unless otherwise specified in
the description of a particular function.</p>
<p>If a built-in function object is not implemented as an ECMAScript function it must provide [[Call]] and [[Construct]]
internal methods that conform to the following definitions:</p>

<p>A <i>bound function</i> is an exotic object that wraps another function object. A bound function is callable (it has a
[[Call]] internal method and may have a [[Construct]] internal method). Calling a bound function generally results in a
call of its wrapped function.</p>

Array Exotic Objects</h1>
<p>An <i>Array object</i> is an exotic object that gives special treatment to array index property keys (<a
href="#sec-object-type">see 6.1.7</a>). A property whose property name is an array index is also called an <i>element</i>.
Every Array object has a <code>length</code> property whose value is always a nonnegative integer less than <span
style="font-family: Times New Roman">2<sup>32</sup></span>. The value of the <code>length</code> property is numerically
greater than the name of every own property whose name is an array index; whenever an own property of an Array object is
created or changed, other properties are adjusted as necessary to maintain this invariant. Specifically, whenever an own
property is added whose name is an array index, the value of the <code>length</code> property is changed, if necessary, to
be one more than the numeric value of that array index; and whenever the value of the <code>length</code> property is
changed, every own property whose name is an array index whose value is not smaller than the new length is deleted. This
constraint applies only to own properties of an Array object and is unaffected by <code>length</code> or array index
properties that may be inherited from its prototypes.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> A String property name <i>P</i> is an <i>array index</i> if and only if <a

title="link to this section">9.4.4</a></span> Arguments Exotic Objects</h1>
<p>Most ECMAScript functions make an arguments objects available to their code. Depending upon the characteristics of the
function definition, its argument object is either an ordinary object or an <i>arguments exotic object</i>. An arguments
exotic object is an exotic object whose array index properties map to the formal parameters bindings of an invocation of
its associated ECMAScript function.</p>
<p>Arguments exotic objects have the same internal slots as ordinary objects. They also have a [[ParameterMap]] internal
slot. Ordinary arguments objects also have a [[ParameterMap]] internal slot whose value is always undefined. For ordinary
argument objects the [[ParameterMap]] internal slot is only used by <code><a
href="#sec-object.prototype.tostring">Object.prototype.toString</a></code> (<a
href="#sec-object.prototype.tostring">19.1.3.6</a>) to identify them as such.</p>
<p>Arguments exotic objects provide alternative definitions for the following internal methods. All of the other exotic
arguments object essential internal methods that are not defined below are as specified in <a
href="#sec-ordinary-object-internal-methods-and-internal-slots">9.1</a></p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE 1</span> For non-strict functions the integer indexed data properties of an arguments object
whose numeric name values are less than the number of formal parameters of the corresponding function object initially
share their values with the corresponding argument bindings in the function&rsquo;s <a
href="#sec-execution-contexts">execution context</a>. This means that changing the property changes the corresponding
value of the argument binding and vice-versa. This correspondence is broken if such a property is deleted and then
redefined or if the property is changed into an accessor property. For strict mode functions, the values of the
arguments object&rsquo;s properties are simply a copy of the arguments passed to the function and there is no dynamic
linkage between the property values and the formal parameter values.</p>
</div>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE 2</span> The ParameterMap object and its property values are used as a device for specifying
the arguments object correspondence to argument bindings. The ParameterMap object and the objects that are the values of
its properties are not directly observable from ECMAScript code. An ECMAScript implementation does not need to actually
create or use such objects to implement the specified semantics.</p>
</div>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE 3</span> Arguments objects for strict mode functions define non-configurable accessor
properties named <code>"caller"</code> and <code>"callee"</code> which throw a <b>TypeError</b> exception on access. The
<code>"callee"</code> property has a more specific meaning for non-strict functions and a <code>"caller"</code> property
has historically been provided as an implementation-defined extension by some ECMAScript implementations. The strict
mode definition of these properties exists to ensure that neither of them is defined in any other manner by conforming
ECMAScript implementations.</p>

<p>A <i>module namespace object</i> is an exotic object that exposes the bindings exported from an ECMAScript <span
class="nt">Module</span> <var>(See <a href="#sec-exports">15.2.3</a>)</var>. There is a one-to-one correspondence between
the String-keyed own properties of a module namespace exotic object and the binding names exported by the <span
class="nt">Module</span>. The exported bindings include any bindings that are indirectly exported using <code>export
*</code> export items. Each String-valued own <a href="#sec-object-type">property key</a> is the StringValue of the
corresponding exported binding name. These are the only String-keyed properties of a module namespace exotic object. Each
such property has the attributes {[[Configurable]]: <span class="value">false</span>, [[Enumerable]]: <span
class="value">true</span>}. Module namespace objects are not extensible.</p>
<p>Module namespace objects have the internal slots defined in <a href="#table-29">Table 29</a>.</p>

<p>A proxy object is an exotic object whose essential internal methods are partially implemented using ECMAScript code.
Every proxy objects has an <a href="#sec-object-internal-methods-and-internal-slots">internal slot</a> called
[[ProxyHandler]]. The value of [[ProxyHandler]] is an object, called the proxy&rsquo;s <i>handler object</i>, or <span

implementation for one or more of the proxy object&rsquo;s internal methods. Every proxy object also has an <a

object or the <b>null</b> value. This object is called the proxy&rsquo;s <i>target object</i>.</p>

<p>When a handler method is called to provide the implementation of a proxy object internal method, the handler method is
passed the proxy&rsquo;s target object as a parameter. A proxy&rsquo;s handler object does not necessarily have a method
corresponding to every essential internal method. Invoking an internal method on the proxy results in the invocation of the
corresponding internal method on the proxy&rsquo;s target object if the handler object does not have a method corresponding
to the internal trap.</p>
<p>The [[ProxyHandler]] and [[ProxyTarget]] internal slots of a proxy object are always initialized when the object is
created and typically may not be modified. Some proxy objects are created in a manner that permits them to be subsequently
<i>revoked</i>. When a proxy is revoked, its [[ProxyHander]] and [[ProxyTarget]] internal slots are set to <b>null</b>
causing subsequent invocations of internal methods on that proxy object to throw a <span class="value">TypeError</span>
exception.</p>
<p>Because proxy objects permit the implementation of internal methods to be provided by arbitrary ECMAScript code, it is
possible to define a proxy object whose handler methods violates the invariants defined in <a
href="#sec-invariants-of-the-essential-internal-methods">6.1.7.3</a>. Some of the internal method invariants defined in <a
href="#sec-invariants-of-the-essential-internal-methods">6.1.7.3</a> are essential integrity invariants. These invariants
are explicitly enforced by the proxy object internal methods specified in this section. An ECMAScript implementation must be
robust in the presence of all possible invariant violations.</p>
<p>In the following algorithm descriptions, assume <var>O</var> is an ECMAScript proxy object, <var>P</var> is a <a
href="#sec-object-type">property key value</a>, <var>V</var> is any <a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types">ECMAScript

<p>ECMAScript code is expressed using Unicode, version 5.1 or later. ECMAScript source text is a sequence of code points.
All Unicode code point values from U+0000 to U+10FFFF, including surrogate code points, may occur in source text where
permitted by the ECMAScript grammars. The actual encodings used to store and interchange ECMAScript source text is not
relevant to this specification. Regardless of the external source text encoding, a conforming ECMAScript implementation
processes the source text as if it was an equivalent sequence of <span class="nt">SourceCharacter</span> values. Each <span
class="nt">SourceCharacter</span> being a Unicode code point. Conforming ECMAScript implementations are not required to
perform any normalization of source text, or behave as though they were performing normalization of source text.</p>
<p>The components of a combining character sequence are treated as individual Unicode code points even though a user might
think of the whole sequence as a single character.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> In string literals, regular expression literals, template literals and identifiers, any
Unicode code point may also be expressed using Unicode escape sequences that explicitly express a code point&rsquo;s
numeric value. Within a comment, such an escape sequence is effectively ignored as part of the comment.</p>
<p>ECMAScript differs from the Java programming language in the behaviour of Unicode escape sequences. In a Java program,
if the Unicode escape sequence <code>\u000A</code>, for example, occurs within a single-line comment, it is interpreted as
a line terminator (Unicode code point U+000A is line feed (lf)) and therefore the next code point is not part of the
comment. Similarly, if the Unicode escape sequence <code>\u000A</code> occurs within a string literal in a Java program,
it is likewise interpreted as a line terminator, which is not allowed within a string literal&mdash;one must write
<code>\n</code> instead of <code>\u000A</code> to cause a line feed (lf) to be part of the string value of a string
literal. In an ECMAScript program, a Unicode escape sequence occurring within a comment is never interpreted and therefore
cannot contribute to termination of the comment. Similarly, a Unicode escape sequence occurring within a string literal in
an ECMAScript program always contributes to the literal and is never interpreted as a line terminator or as a code point
that might terminate the string literal.</p>

Types of Source Code</h1>
<p>There are four types of ECMAScript code:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><i>Global code</i> is source text that is treated as an ECMAScript <i>Script</i>. The global code of a particular
<i>Script</i> does not include any source text that is parsed as part of a <i>FunctionDeclaration</i>,
<i>FunctionExpression</i>, <i>GeneratorDeclaration</i>, <i>GeneratorExpression</i>, <i>MethodDefinition</i>,
<i>ArrowFunction, ClassDeclaration</i>, or <i>ClassExpression</i>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><i>Eval code</i> is the source text supplied to the built-in <code>eval</code> function. More precisely, if the
parameter to the built-in <code>eval</code> function is a String, it is treated as an ECMAScript <i>Script</i>. The eval
code for a particular invocation of <code>eval</code> is the global code portion of that <i>Script</i>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><i>Function code</i> is source text that is parsed to supply the value of the [[ECMAScriptCode]] and
[[FormalParameters]] internal slots (<a href="#sec-ecmascript-function-objects">see 9.2</a>) of an <a
href="#sec-ecmascript-function-objects">ECMAScript function object</a>. The function code of a particular ECMAScript
function does not include any source text that is parsed as the function code of a nested <i>FunctionDeclaration</i>,
<i>FunctionExpression</i>, <i>GeneratorDeclaration</i>, <i>GeneratorExpression</i>, <i>MethodDefinition</i>,
<i>ArrowFunction, ClassDeclaration</i>, or <i>ClassExpression</i>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><i>Module code</i> is source text that is code that is provided as a <i>ModuleBody</i>. It is the code that is
directly evaluated when a module is initialized. The module code of a particular module does not include any source text
that is parsed as part of a nested <i>FunctionDeclaration</i>, <i>FunctionExpression</i>, <i>GeneratorDeclaration</i>,
<i>GeneratorExpression</i>, <i>MethodDefinition</i>, <i>ArrowFunction, ClassDeclaration</i>, or
<i>ClassExpression</i>.</p>

<p>An ECMAScript <span class="nt">Script</span> syntactic unit may be processed using either unrestricted or strict mode
syntax and semantics. Code is interpreted as <i>strict mode code</i> in the following situations:</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>All parts of a <span class="nt">ClassDeclaration</span> or a <span class="nt">ClassExpression</span> are strict mode
code.</p>
</li>
<li>

eval (<a href="#sec-function-calls-runtime-semantics-evaluation">see 12.3.4.1</a>) that is contained in strict mode
code.</p>

<li>
<p>Function code is strict mode code if the associated <span class="nt">FunctionDeclaration</span>, <span

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-11"><a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-lexical-grammar"
title="link to this section">11</a></span> ECMAScript Language: Lexical Grammar</h1>
<p>The source text of an ECMAScript <span class="nt">Script</span> or <span class="nt">Module</span> is first converted into a
sequence of input elements, which are tokens, line terminators, comments, or white space. The source text is scanned from left
to right, repeatedly taking the longest possible sequence of code points as the next input element.</p>
<p>There are several situations where the identification of lexical input elements is sensitive to the syntactic grammar
context that is consuming the input elements. This requires multiple goal symbols for the lexical grammar. The <span
class="nt">InputElementRegExpOrTemplateTail</span> goal is used in syntactic grammar contexts where a
<var>RegularExpressionLiteral,</var> a <var>TemplateMiddle,</var> or a <span class="nt">TemplateTail</span> is permitted. The
<span class="nt">InputElementRegExp</span> goal symbol is used in all syntactic grammar contexts where a <span
class="nt">RegularExpressionLiteral</span> is permitted but neither a <var>TemplateMiddle,</var> nor a <span
class="nt">TemplateTail</span> is permitted. The <span class="nt">InputElementTemplateTail</span> goal is used in all
syntactic grammar contexts where a <span class="nt">TemplateMiddle</span> or a <span class="nt">TemplateTail</span> is
permitted but a <span class="nt">RegularExpressionLiteral</span> is not permitted. In all other contexts, <span
class="nt">InputElementDiv</span> is used as the lexical goal symbol.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> The use of multiple lexical goals ensures that there are no lexical ambiguities that would
affect <a href="#sec-automatic-semicolon-insertion">automatic semicolon insertion</a>. For example, there are no syntactic
grammar contexts where both a leading division or division-assignment, and a leading <i>RegularExpressionLiteral</i> are
permitted. This is not affected by semicolon insertion (<a href="#sec-automatic-semicolon-insertion">see 11.9</a>); in
examples such as the following:</p>
<pre>a = b<br>/hi/g.exec(c).map(d);</pre>
<p>where the first non-whitespace, non-comment code point after a <i>LineTerminator</i> is U+002F (SOLIDUS) and the
syntactic context allows division or division-assignment, no semicolon is inserted at the <i>LineTerminator</i>. That is,
the above example is interpreted in the same way as:</p>
<pre>a = b / hi / g.exec(c).map(d);</pre>

<p>The Unicode format-control characters (i.e., the characters in category &ldquo;Cf&rdquo; in the Unicode Character Database

Terminators</h1>
<p>Like white space code points, line terminator code points are used to improve source text readability and to separate
tokens (indivisible lexical units) from each other. However, unlike white space code points, line terminators have some
influence over the behaviour of the syntactic grammar. In general, line terminators may occur between any two tokens, but
there are a few places where they are forbidden by the syntactic grammar. Line terminators also affect the process of <a
href="#sec-automatic-semicolon-insertion">automatic semicolon insertion</a> (<a
href="#sec-automatic-semicolon-insertion">11.9</a>). A line terminator cannot occur within any token except a <span
class="nt">StringLiteral</span>, <span class="nt">Template</span>, or <span class="nt">TemplateSubstitutionTail</span>. Line
terminators may only occur within a <span class="nt">StringLiteral</span> token as part of a <span
class="nt">LineContinuation</span>.</p>
<p>A line terminator can occur within a <span class="nt">MultiLineComment</span> (<a href="#sec-comments">11.4</a>) but cannot
occur within a <span class="nt">SingleLineComment</span>.</p>
<p>Line terminators are included in the set of white space code points that are matched by the <code>\s</code> class in
regular expressions.</p>
<p>The ECMAScript line terminator code points are listed in <a href="#table-33">Table 33</a>.</p>

<p>Only the Unicode code points in <a href="#table-33">Table 33</a> are treated as line terminators. Other new line or line
breaking Unicode code points are not treated as line terminators but are treated as white space if they meet the requirements
listed in <a href="#table-32">Table 32</a>. The sequence &lt;CR&gt;&lt;LF&gt; is commonly used as a line terminator. It should
be considered a single <span class="nt">SourceCharacter</span> for the purpose of reporting line numbers.</p>

<h1><span class="secnum" id="sec-11.4"><a href="#sec-comments" title="link to this section">11.4</a></span> Comments</h1>
<p>Comments can be either single or multi-line. Multi-line comments cannot nest.</p>
<p>Because a single-line comment can contain any Unicode code point except a <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> code
point, and because of the general rule that a token is always as long as possible, a single-line comment always consists of
all code points from the <code>//</code> marker to the end of the line. However, the <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> at
the end of the line is not considered to be part of the single-line comment; it is recognized separately by the lexical
grammar and becomes part of the stream of input elements for the syntactic grammar. This point is very important, because it
implies that the presence or absence of single-line comments does not affect the process of <a
href="#sec-automatic-semicolon-insertion">automatic semicolon insertion</a> (<a href="#sec-automatic-semicolon-insertion">see
11.9</a>).</p>
<p>Comments behave like white space and are discarded except that, if a <span class="nt">MultiLineComment</span> contains a
line terminator code point, then the entire comment is considered to be a <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> for purposes
of parsing by the syntactic grammar.</p>

<p><span class="nt">IdentifierName</span> and <span class="nt">ReservedWord</span> are tokens that are interpreted according
to the Default Identifier Syntax given in Unicode Standard Annex #31, Identifier and Pattern Syntax, with some small
modifications. <span class="nt">ReservedWord</span> is an enumerated subset of <span style="font-family: Times New
Roman"><i>IdentifierName</i>.</span> The syntactic grammar defines <span class="nt">Identifier</span> as an <span
class="nt">IdentifierName</span> that is not a <span class="nt">ReservedWord</span> (<a href="#sec-reserved-words">see
11.6.2</a>). The Unicode identifier grammar is based on character properties specified by the Unicode Standard. The Unicode
code points in the specified categories in version 5.1.0 of the Unicode standard must be treated as in those categories by
all conforming ECMAScript implementations. ECMAScript implementations may recognize identifier code points defined in later
editions of the Unicode Standard.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> This standard specifies specific code point additions: <span style="font-family:
sans-serif">U+0024</span> (dollar sign) and <span style="font-family: sans-serif">U+005F</span> (<span style="font-family:
sans-serif">LOW LINE</span>) are permitted anywhere in an <i>IdentifierName</i><span style="font-family: sans-serif">, and
the code points</span> <span style="font-family: sans-serif">U+200C (zero-width non-joiner) and U+200D (zero-width joiner)
are permitted anywhere after the first code point</span> <span style="font-family: sans-serif">of an</span>
<i>IdentifierName</i>.</p>
</div>
<p>Unicode escape sequences are permitted in an <span class="nt">IdentifierName</span>, where they contribute a single
Unicode code point to the <span class="nt">IdentifierName</span>. The code point is expressed by the <span
class="nt">HexDigits</span> of the <span class="nt">UnicodeEscapeSequence</span> (<a
href="#sec-literals-string-literals">see 11.8.4</a>). The <code>\</code> preceding the <span
class="nt">UnicodeEscapeSequence</span> and the <code>u</code> and <code>{ }</code> code units, if they appear, do not
contribute code points to the <span class="nt">IdentifierName</span>. A <span class="nt">UnicodeEscapeSequence</span> cannot
be used to put a code point into an <span class="nt">IdentifierName</span> that would otherwise be illegal. In other words,
if a <code>\</code> <span class="nt">UnicodeEscapeSequence</span> sequence were replaced by the <span
class="nt">SourceCharacter</span> it contributes, the result must still be a valid <span class="nt">IdentifierName</span>
that has the exact same sequence of <span class="nt">SourceCharacter</span> elements as the original <span

are based upon their actual code points regardless of whether or not an escape sequence was used to contribute any
particular code point.</p>
<p>Two <span class="nt">IdentifierName</span> that are canonically equivalent according to the Unicode standard are

<p>Once the exact MV for a numeric literal has been determined, it is then rounded to a value of the Number type. If the
MV is 0, then the rounded value is <span class="value">+0</span>; otherwise, the rounded value must be the Number value
for the MV (as specified in <a href="#sec-ecmascript-language-types-number-type">6.1.6</a>), unless the literal is a <span
class="nt">DecimalLiteral</span> and the literal has more than 20 significant digits, in which case the Number value may
be either the Number value for the MV of a literal produced by replacing each significant digit after the 20th with a
<code>0</code> digit or the Number value for the MV of a literal produced by replacing each significant digit after the
20th with a <code>0</code> digit and then incrementing the literal at the 20th significant digit position. A digit is
<i>significant</i> if it is not part of an <span class="nt">ExponentPart</span> and</p>
<ul>
<li>it is not <code>0</code>; or</li>
<li>there is a nonzero digit to its left and there is a nonzero digit, not in the <i>ExponentPart</i>, to its
right.</li>

<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> A regular expression literal is an input element that is converted to a RegExp object
(<a href="#sec-regexp-regular-expression-objects">see 21.2</a>) each time the literal is evaluated. Two regular
expression literals in a program evaluate to regular expression objects that never compare as <code>===</code> to each
other even if the two literals' contents are identical. A RegExp object may also be created at runtime by <code>new
RegExp</code> or calling the <code>RegExp</code> constructor as a function (<a href="#sec-regexp-constructor">see
21.2.3</a>).</p>
</div>
<p>The productions below describe the syntax for a regular expression literal and are used by the input element scanner to
find the end of the regular expression literal. The source text comprising the <span

<p>A template literal component is interpreted as a sequence of Unicode code points. The Template Value (TV) of a literal
component is described in terms of code unit values (SV, <a href="#sec-literals-string-literals">11.8.4</a>) contributed
by the various parts of the template literal component. As part of this process, some Unicode code points within the
template component are interpreted as having a mathematical value (MV, <a
href="#sec-literals-numeric-literals">11.8.3</a>). In determining a TV, escape sequences are replaced by the UTF-16 code
unit(s) of the Unicode code point represented by the escape sequence. The Template Raw Value (TRV) is similar to a
Template Value with the difference that in TRVs escape sequences are interpreted literally.</p>

grammar, then a semicolon is automatically inserted before the offending token if one or more of the following
conditions is true:
<ul>
<li>
<p>The offending token is separated from the previous token by at least one <i>LineTerminator</i>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The offending token is <code>}</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The previous token is <code>)</code> and the inserted semicolon would then be parsed as the terminating semicolon
of a do-while statement (<a href="#sec-do-while-statement">13.6.1</a>).</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When, as the <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>Script</i> or <i>Module</i></span> is parsed from left to
right, the end of the input stream of tokens is encountered and the parser is unable to parse the input token stream
as a single complete ECMAScript <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>Script</i> or <i>Module</i></span>, then
a semicolon is automatically inserted at the end of the input stream.</li>
<li>When, as the <span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>Script</i> or <i>Module</i></span> is parsed from left to
right, a token is encountered that is allowed by some production of the grammar, but the production is a <i>restricted
production</i> and the token would be the first token for a terminal or nonterminal immediately following the
annotation <span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&ldquo;</span>[no&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Times New
Roman"><i>LineTerminator</i></span> here]&rdquo; within the restricted production (and therefore such a token is
called a restricted token), and the restricted token is separated from the previous token by at least one <span
class="nt">LineTerminator</span>, then a semicolon is automatically inserted before the restricted token.</li>
</ol>
<p>However, there is an additional overriding condition on the preceding rules: a semicolon is never inserted automatically
if the semicolon would then be parsed as an empty statement or if that semicolon would become one of the two semicolons in
the header of a <code>for</code> statement (<a href="#sec-for-statement">see 13.6.3</a>).</p>

<p>The practical effect of these restricted productions is as follows:</p>
<p>When a <code>++</code> or <code>--</code> token is encountered where the parser would treat it as a postfix operator, and
at least one <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> occurred between the preceding token and the <code>++</code> or
<code>--</code> token, then a semicolon is automatically inserted before the <code>++</code> or <code>--</code> token.</p>
<p>When a <code>continue</code>, <code>break</code>, <code>return</code>, <code>throw</code>, or <code>yield</code> token is
encountered and a <span class="nt">LineTerminator</span> is encountered before the next token, a semicolon is automatically
inserted after the <code>continue</code>, <code>break</code>, <code>return</code>, <code>throw</code>, or <code>yield</code>
token.</p>
<p>The resulting practical advice to ECMAScript programmers is:</p>
<p>A postfix <code>++</code> or <code>--</code> operator should appear on the same line as its operand.</p>
<p>An <span class="nt">Expression</span> in a <code>return</code> or <code>throw</code> statement or an <span
class="nt">AssignmentExpression</span> in a <code>yield</code> expression should start on the same line as the
<code>return</code>, <code>throw</code>, or <code>yield</code> token.</p>
<p>An <span class="nt">IdentifierReference</span> in a <code>break</code> or <code>continue</code> statement should be on
the same line as the <code>break</code> or <code>continue</code> token.</p>

<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> An <i>ArrayLiteral</i> is an expression describing the initialization of an Array
object, using a list, of zero or more expressions each of which represents an array element, enclosed in square
brackets. The elements need not be literals; they are evaluated each time the array initializer is evaluated.</p>
</div>
<p>Array elements may be elided at the beginning, middle or end of the element list. Whenever a comma in the element list
is not preceded by an <span class="nt">AssignmentExpression</span> (i.e., a comma at the beginning or after another
comma), the missing array element contributes to the length of the Array and increases the index of subsequent elements.
Elided array elements are not defined. If an element is elided at the end of an array, that element does not contribute to
the length of the Array.</p>

<p>The <code>/</code> <span class="nt">MultiplicativeOperator</span> performs division, producing the quotient of its
operands. The left operand is the dividend and the right operand is the divisor. ECMAScript does not perform integer
division. The operands and result of all division operations are double-precision floating-point numbers. The result of
division is determined by the specification of IEEE 754 arithmetic:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If either operand is <b>NaN</b>, the result is <b>NaN</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The sign of the result is positive if both operands have the same sign, negative if the operands have different
signs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Division of an infinity by an infinity results in <b>NaN</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Division of an infinity by a zero results in an infinity. The sign is determined by the rule already stated
above.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Division of an infinity by a nonzero finite value results in a signed infinity. The sign is determined by the rule
already stated above.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Division of a finite value by an infinity results in zero. The sign is determined by the rule already stated
above.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Division of a zero by a zero results in <b>NaN</b>; division of zero by any other finite value results in zero,
with the sign determined by the rule already stated above.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Division of a nonzero finite value by a zero results in a signed infinity. The sign is determined by the rule
already stated above.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the remaining cases, where neither an infinity, nor a zero, nor <b>NaN</b> is involved, the quotient is computed
and rounded to the nearest representable value using IEEE 754 round-to-nearest mode. If the magnitude is too large to
represent, the operation overflows; the result is then an infinity of appropriate sign. If the magnitude is too small
to represent, the operation underflows and the result is a zero of the appropriate sign. The ECMAScript language
requires support of gradual underflow as defined by IEEE 754.</p>

title="link to this section">12.6.3.3</a></span> Applying the <code>%</code> Operator</h1>
<p>The <code>%</code> <span class="nt">MultiplicativeOperator</span> yields the remainder of its operands from an implied
division; the left operand is the dividend and the right operand is the divisor.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><span class="nh">NOTE</span> In C and C++, the remainder operator accepts only integral operands; in ECMAScript, it
also accepts floating-point operands.</p>
</div>
<p>The result of a floating-point remainder operation as computed by the <code>%</code> operator is not the same as the
&ldquo;remainder&rdquo; operation defined by IEEE 754. The IEEE 754 &ldquo;remainder&rdquo; operation computes the
remainder from a rounding division, not a truncating division, and so its behaviour is not analogous to that of the usual
integer remainder operator. Instead the ECMAScript language defines <code>%</code> on floating-point operations to behave
in a manner analogous to that of the Java integer remainder operator; this may be compared with the C library function
fmod.</p>
<p>The result of an ECMAScript floating-point remainder operation is determined by the rules of IEEE arithmetic:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If either operand is <b>NaN</b>, the result is <b>NaN</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The sign of the result equals the sign of the dividend.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the dividend is an infinity, or the divisor is a zero, or both, the result is <b>NaN</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the dividend is finite and the divisor is an infinity, the result equals the dividend.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the dividend is a zero and the divisor is nonzero and finite, the result is the same as the dividend.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the remaining cases, where neither an infinity, nor a zero, nor <b>NaN</b> is involved, the floating-point
remainder r from a dividend n and a divisor d is defined by the mathematical relation r = n &minus; (d &times; q)
where q is an integer that is negative only if n/d is negative and positive only if n/d is positive, and whose
magnitude is as large as possible without exceeding the magnitude of the true mathematical quotient of n and d. r is
computed and rounded to the nearest representable value using IEEE 754 round-to-nearest mode.</p>
