[a, b] = arr
,{a, b} = obj
- Destructuring assignment allows you to assign the properties of an array or object to variables using syntax that looks similar to array or object literals.
- Yield operators
yield
- Pause and resume a generator function.
yield*
- Delegate to another generator function or iterable object.
- Spread syntax
...obj
- Spread syntax allows an iterable, such as an array or string, to be expanded in places where zero or more arguments (for function calls) or elements (for array literals) are expected. In an object literal, the spread syntax enumerates the properties of an object and adds the key-value pairs to the object being created.
- Comma operator
,
- The comma operator allows multiple expressions to be evaluated in a single statement and returns the result of the last expression.
Basic keywords and general expression in JS. These expression have the highest precedence (higher than operators).
Left values are the destination of an assignment.
Postfix/prefix increment and postfix/prefix decrement.
A unary operation is an operation with only one operand.
Take numerical values (either literals or variables) as their operands and return a single numerical value.
A comparison operator compares its operands and returns a boolean value based on whether the comparison is true.
Note: =>
is not an operator, but the notation for Arrow functions.
The result of evaluating an equality operator is always of type boolean based on whether the comparison is true.
Operations to shift all bits of the operand.
Bitwise operators treat their operands as a set of 32 bits (zeros and ones) and return standard JavaScript numerical values.
Logical operators implement boolean (logical) values and have short-circuiting behavior.
An assignment operator assigns a value to its left operand based on the value of its right operand.
