Javascript equivalent of Python's sequence unpack: a,b=(1,2) ?

A:

There isn't. JavaScript doesn't have such syntax sugar.

+2 A:

[a, b] = [1, 2]

Which won't work in most javascript implementations...

Andy E 2010-01-20 10:57:10

why? which implementations are affected? do you have further links?

Does not (seem to) work in IE6.

In opera 10 works, in ff 3 works, in ie 8 doesn't, in chrome doesn't. Not universal indeed.

Antony Hatchkins 2010-01-20 11:05:39

Well, for starters this code won't work in IE, Chrome or Safari implementations. I'm pretty sure major browser-wise this is only supported by Firefox and Opera.

Andy E 2010-01-20 11:05:42

@Alsciende I'm tempted to flag you comment as offensive for mentioning IE6 ;)

Answer 3

A:

An object cannot contain a reference to an integer, only its value. So I can't see any way to do what you ask in javascript.
