“strict mode”;
It’s a ECMAScript 5 feature that prevents certain actions from being taken and throws more exceptions in a JavaScript code.
The strict mode is necessary if you have a complex code to write. It introduces better error-checking, If you have a calculating algorithm.
Without this mode you can write console.log(Infinity = 0) and there is no problem with that. This will return 0 as inspected and Error “
We can use this feature into a function. For example:
// Non-strict code... (function(){ "use strict"; // Define your library strictly... })(); // Non-strict code...
But, if you activate it you’ll see a lot of problems on the console. To avoid that, try to write a clean code.
