In This Section

  • 0...n Properties
    Returns the actual value of individual arguments from an arguments object returned by the arguments property of an executing function.

  • $1...$9 Properties
    Returns the nine most-recently memorized portions found during pattern matching.

  • arguments Property
    Returns the arguments object for the currently executing Function object.caller Property

  • callee Property
    Returns the Function object being executed that is the body text of the specified Function object.

  • caller Property
    Returns a reference to the function that invoked the current function.

  • constructor Property
    Specifies the function that creates an object.

  • global Property
    Returns a Boolean value indicating the state of the global flag (g) used with a regular expression.

  • ignoreCase Property
    Returns a Boolean value indicating the state of the ignoreCase flag (i) used with a regular expression.

  • lastMatch Property ($&)
    Returns the last matched characters from any regular expression search.

  • lastParen Property ($+)
    Returns the last parenthesized submatch, if any, from any regular expression search.

  • leftContext Property ($`)
    Returns the characters from the beginning of a searched string up to the position before the beginning of the last match.

  • length Property (arguments)
    Returns the actual number of arguments passed to a function by the caller.

  • length Property (Array)
    Returns an integer value one higher than the highest element defined in an array.

  • length Property (Function)
    Returns the number of arguments defined for a function.

  • length Property (String)
    Returns the length of a String object.

    Returns the largest number representable in JScript. Equal to approximately 1.79E+308.

  • message Property
    Returns an error message string.

  • MIN_VALUE Property
    Returns the number closest to zero that JScript can represent. Equal to approximately 5.00E-324.

  • multiline Property
    Returns a Boolean value indicating the state of the multiline flag (m) used with a regular expression.

  • name Property
    Returns the name of an error.

  • NaN Property
    A special value that indicates that an arithmetic expression returned a value that was not a number.

  • NaN Property (Global)
    Returns the special value NaN indicating that an expression is not a number.

  • NEGATIVE_INFINITY Property
    Returns a value more negative than the largest negative number (-Number.MAX_VALUE) that JScript can represent.

  • number Property
    Returns a value more negative than the largest negative number (-Number.MAX_VALUE) that JScript can represent.

  • POSITIVE_INFINITY Property
    Returns a value larger than the largest number (Number.MAX_VALUE) that JScript can represent.

  • propertyIsEnumerable Property
    Returns a Boolean value indicating whether a specified property is part of an object and if it is enumerable.
