automatic type conversion. To disallow automatic type conversion, use === or !== operators.
false == 0; // true
"" == 0; // true
"5" == 5; // true
Check if something is null or defined. if a variable has been defined ("var something") but it hasn't been assigned anything, it returns undefined. All of functions that have no return values also return undefined.
if (something == undefined) // either undefined or null
Math.max(2,4); // 4
Math.min(2,4) + 100; // 102
confirm("Shall we, then?"); // OK, Cancel
prompt("Tell me everything you know.","..."); // default "..." OK, Cancel
print("X"); // print to printer
//
var theNumber = Number(prompt("Pick a number", ""));
if (!isNaN(theNumber))
alert("Your number is the square root of " + (theNumber * theNumber));
