2[Speaking JS] parseInt() in (“Speaking JavaScript”).↩
3[Speaking JS] The details of rounding errors are explained in “Speaking JavaScript”.↩
4Internally, JavaScript has two zeros. Math.sign(-0) produces the result -0 and Math.sign(+0) produces the result +0.↩
5Iterables are explained in another chapter.↩
6Explained in the chapter on Arrays.↩
1The exceptions are function expressions and object literals, which you have to put in parentheses, because they look like function declarations and code blocks.↩
2[Spec] Sect. “Imports” starts with grammar rules and continues with semantics.↩
3[Spec] The specification method GetExportedNames() collects the exports of a module. In step (7.d.i), a check prevents other modules’ default exports from being re-exported.↩
4[Spec] Sect. “Exports” starts with grammar rules and continues with semantics.↩

2Based on “Closing iterators”, slides by David Herman.↩
3throw() is also an optional method, but is practically never used for iterators and therefore explained in the chapter on generators)↩
4“Combinator” (in HaskellWiki) describes what combinators are.↩
5Or rather, the function counts up until the number start overflows and becomes Infinity, at which point it doesn’t change, anymore.↩
