Sample source 3) JavaScript basic document structure (built-in functions)


- First, a quick recap of last time,,, -

break statement: when the initial condition is met but you want to break out (with an additional option). e.g. forced exit
continue statement: when a separately added condition matches, skip the condition and run the next one.


- A quick word on built-in functions,,, -
User-defined function: a function defined by the user
Built-in function: features of JS   ::  eval (recognizes an expression string / character as a number), isNaN(), Number(), String(), parseInt (string to integer)


*   "10px" VS. "px10" = if the letters come first, it's recognized as a string.
