37 Error in Text 09/02/2013

On page 37, the section entitled "NaN", the last two sentences of the first
paragraph(begins with "For example") should be replaced with:

For example, attempting to divide a number by a non-number typically

causes an error in other languages, halting execution. In ECMAScript,
dividing a number by a non-number returns NaN, which allows other
processing to continue.

40 Error in Code 12/12/12

The following code currently reads:

//56 (octal) in ECMAScript 3, 0 (decimal) in ECMAScript 5

var num = parseInt(?070?);

It should read:

//56 (octal) in ECMAScript 3, 70 (decimal) in ECMAScript 5

var num = parseInt(?070?);

40 Error in Description of Code 12/12/12

Currently reads:
In ECMAScript 5 JavaScript engines, the ability to parse octal values has
been removed from parseInt(), so the leading zero is considered invalid and
the value is treated the same as ?0?, resulting in the decimal value 0.

Should read:
In ECMAScript 5 JavaScript engines, the ability to parse octal values has
been removed from parseInt(), so the leading zero is ignored and the value
is treated the same as ?70?, resulting in the decimal value 70.

82 Error in Text 12/12/12

The following sentence should be removed:

"This effect goes only one way: changing the named argument does not
result in a change to the corresponding value in arguments."

This is no longer true.

92 Error in Text 12/5/2012

Currently reads:
"Neither the global context nor the local context of swapColors() has access
to tempColor."

Should be:
"Neither the global context nor the local context of changeColor() has
access to tempColor."

108 Error in Text 01/02/2014

Currently reads: ArrayFilterExample04-06.htm

Should read: ArrayTypeExample04-06.htm

110 Error in Text 01/02/2014

Currently reads: ArrayFilterExample07.htm

Should read: ArrayTypeExample07.htm

114 Error in Code 01/02/2014

Currently reads: "//get the first item"

Should read: "//get the first last item"

The same change should be made in ArrayTypeExample12.htm.

122 Error in Text 12/12/12

This sentence:

"Using this data storage format, the Date type can accurately represent
dates 285,616 years before or after January 1, 1970."

In this code snippet:

var matches = pattern2.exec(text);

console.log(matches.index); //0
console.log(matches[0]); //cat
console.log(pattern2.lastIndex); //0

The last line should be changed to:

console.log(pattern2.lastIndex); // 3

746 Error in Text 11/11/2013

There is also an Object.isFrozen() method to detect frozen objects. Since

frozen objects are both sealed and extensible...

Should read:

.... Since frozen objects are both sealed and not extensible...

840 Error in Code 01/02/2014

The function definition for isHiddenSupport (the first code example), should
be:

function isHiddenSupported(){
return ("hidden" in document || "msHidden" in document ||

}
