This one shouldn't have the syntax errors.

Wouldn't that fail because the functions are defined after you reference them in the object?

Ohhhhh you accidently gave me the answer to the problem! (I hope)
It doesn't fail, but because I'm referencing before assignement then the object is just being filled with undefined because it is undefined. Thanks xD

Sigton

EDIT: Yes that was the problem, thanks for your help

Ohhhh, the problem is in how you're defining your functions.

Normal function statements get hoisted: (you can always access them no matter where you define them)

hoisted(); // logs "foo"
function hoisted() {
  console.log("foo");
}

Others do not:

notHoisted(); // TypeError: notHoisted is not a function
var notHoisted = function() {
   console.log("bar");
};

You have to either change sum, sub, mult and div to use a function statement, or declare them before you declare “functions”.

Sorry, first time I've really used JS

String support has been added, I'll work on arrays tomorrow.

With all of the implicit opening/closing (?) quote stuff done - and backslash escaping?

Implicit opening will take a minute, and I haven't got around to backslash escaping in either language

No, I know how to backslash escape in both Python and JavaScript, just haven't added it to the Python or JS version of pgs yet

Variables are sorted, having a little trouble with pushing to arrays though. It'll be fixed shortly hopefully…

Okay, really confused.

var a = {
  "a":0,
  "b":0,
  "c":0
}
1 in a
// returns true

Is this some js quirk I don't know about?

Not sure what interpreter you used, but my console returns that as false.
On a different note, I found out that you can make an if/else statement with no brackets

if (true) console.log(true); else console.log(false);

and, it only supports a single action for both, so

if(true)console.log("Hello");else console.log("hello");console.log("world!")

prints “Hello” to the console, then prints “world!”

I tried again and it printed false.
Now I'm really, really confused xD

It appears that using an if/else statement without brackets also works vertically -

if (true)
console.log(true);
else
console.log(!true);
console.log("Hello")

returns the console as

true
Hello

Yes, because JS does not care about newlines; it just runs (if there is ambiguity it can be resolved with semicolons - but usually they are optional)

Yeah. That's a quirk of the original C-like syntax. Control constructs only accept a single “statement”, but wrapping multiple statements in { } makes them be treated by the parser as a single statement. This also means you can have empty loops and things like this:

#include <stdio.h>
int /* another quirk of C-like syntax is that you can put comments almost anywhere. */ main() {
    // copies the input to the output
    for (char c; (c = getchar()) != EOF; putchar(c)); // this loop has no body, as the trailing semicolon is a single statement that has no effect.
}
