Makeseval()safer.There are some differences in the wayeval()behaves in strict mode and in nonstrict mode. Most significantly, in strict mode, variables and functions declared inside aneval()statement arenotcreated in the containing scope. (Theyarecreated in the containing scope in nonstrict mode...
eval()throws a SyntaxError ifcodeis not legal JavaScript code. If the evaluation ofcoderaises an error,eval()propagates that error. Description eval()is a global method that evaluates a string of JavaScript code. Ifcodecontains an expression,evalevaluates the expression and returns its value. (...

Constructor functions that must be used with thenewprefixshould start with a capital letter. JavaScript issues neither a compile-time warning nor a run-time warning if a requirednewis omitted. Bad things can happen ifnewis not used, so the capitalization convention is the only defense we have...

It's not all roses, of course. You sometimes need to resort to eval for relatively simple things (like #include), which as a programming tools guy makes me cringe -- eval is Turing complete and blocks tools from understanding the code. And I've been bitten occasionally by setting foo.Pr...
Below is the flow chart of V8 executing JavaScript code: First understand the related concepts Stack space (Stack) The stack space here is the Call Stack, which is used forstore the execution context. In the process of function call, the content related to the context will be stored on the...
Def. 7: Execution context: An execution context is a specification device that is used to track the runtime evaluation of the code. There are several types of ECMAScript code: the global code, function code, eval code, and module code; each code is evaluated in its execution context. Di...
