continue Jumps out of a loop and starts at the top
debugger Stops the execution of JavaScript, and calls (if available) the debugging function
do ... while Executes a block of statements, and repeats the block, while a condition is true
for Marks a block of statements to be executed, as long as a condition is true
function Declares a function
if ... else Marks a block of statements to be executed, depending on a condition
return Exits a function
switch Marks a block of statements to be executed, depending on different cases
try ... catch Implements error handling to a block of statements
var Declares a variable

  JavaScript Arithmetic Operators
 
Arithmetic operators are used to perform arithmetic on numbers (literals or variables).
Operator Description
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
% Modulus
 
++ Increment
-- Decrement
 
JavaScript Assignment Operators
 
Assignment operators assign values to JavaScript variables.
Operator Example Same As
=         x = y     x = y
+=         x += y     x = x + y
-=         x -= y     x = x - y
*=         x *= y     x = x * y
/=         x /= y     x = x / y
%=         x %= y     x = x % y
 
 
The assignment operator (=) assigns a value to a variable.

JavaScript Operator Precedence Values

Expressions in parentheses are fully computed before the value is
used in the rest of the expression.
Value Operator Description Example
19 ( ) Expression grouping (3 + 4)
       
18 . Member person.name
18 [] Member person[“name”]
       
17 () Function call myFunction()
17 new Create new Date()
       
16 ++ Postfix Increment i++
16 — Postfix Decrement i–
       
15 ++ Prefix Increment ++i
15 — Prefix Decrement –i
15 ! Logical not !(x==y)
15 typeof Type typeof x
       
14 * Multiplication 10 * 5
14 / Division 10 / 5
14 % Modulo division 10 % 5

13 + Addition 10 + 5
13 – Subtraction 10 – 5
       
12 << Shift left x << 2
12 >> Shift right x >> 2
       
11 < Less than x < y 
11 <= Less than or equal x <= y
11 > Greater than x > y
11 >= Greater than or equal x >= y
       
10 == Equal x == y
10 === Strict equal x === y
10 != Unequal x != y
10 !== Strict unequal x !== y
       
6 && And x && y
5 || Or x || y
       
3 = Assignment x = y
3 += Assignment x += y

JavaScript Assignment Operators
 
Assignment operators assign values to JavaScript variables.
Operator Example Same As
=         x =       x = y
+=         x += y   x = x + y
-=         x -= y   x = x - y
*=         x *= y     x = x * y
/=         x /= y     x = x / y
%=         x %= y     x = x % y
