a class defines a new type (formally, Abstract Data Type)
encapsulates data (properties) and operations on that data (methods)
a String encapsulates a sequence of characters, enclosed in quotes
properties include
length : stores the number of characters in the string
methods include
charAt(index) : returns the character stored at the given index
(as in C++/Java, indices start at 0)
substring(start, end) : returns the part of the string between the start
(inclusive) and end (exclusive) indices
toUpperCase() : returns copy of string with letters uppercase
toLowerCase() : returns copy of string with letters lowercase
to create a string, assign using new or just make a direct assignment (new is implicit)
word = new String("foo"); word = "foo";
properties/methods are called exactly as in C++/Java
word.length word.charAt(0)

質問 27. Tell us about local variables.
If needed, you can declare local variables within a function.
local variable is visible only within the function body after it’s declared.
Commonly used to store results of an intermediate calculation.
function findMaxValue(num1, num2,num3) {
var tempMax; //local var
if (num1 >= num2) {
tempMax = num1;
}
else {
tempMax = num2;
}
if(num3 >= tempMax) {
tempMax = num3;
}
return tempMax;
} //end function

質問 30. How do you submit a form using Javascript?
Use document.forms[0].submit();
(0 refers to the index of the form – if you have more than one form in a page, then the first one has the index 0, second has index 1 and so on).
