efore calling it because the browser might finish loading one script before the other. In the main document, we would define variables showing the files being loaded as false: var lib1Loaded = false; var lib2Loaded = false; Then, in each of the loaded documents the last line would set the corresponding variables to true. Using this scheme, we would then make sure to look at the value of the variables lib1Loaded or lib2Loaded before any functions that are contained in the files are called. For example: if (lib1Loaded) doSomething(x,y,z) Most of the time such efforts aren‘t required, but JavaScript designers should be careful to consider the load order of documents and what happens if certain parts of a script are invoked before an entire document has loaded. Use Explicit Return Statements Even if your function will not return any values, insert a return statement anyway. JavaScript being an interpreted language, keeping the interpreter from having to do any extra work or make any assumptions should produce better running scripts. Write Stand-Alone Functions As always, you should practice modular design and pass data into and out from functions using only function arguments, the return statement, and data values that are passed by reference. We should avoid side-effects such as changing global values from within functions. Local variables should always be used to perform calculations that are unique to a function, and hidden functions can be used in the same manner to create special-purpose functions that are not needed anywhere else. The value of going through the trouble to create stand-alone functions in this fashion is that such functions can be reused without worry in a variety of situations. Check Arguments Carefully As we have seen, JavaScript doesn‘t carefully check the number or type of variables passed to a function. It is possible to use variadic functions, functions that accept a variable number of arguments, to write very powerful code. However, it is equally possible that doing so will cause a problem. For example, consider this simple function that does no checking: function addTwoNumbers(x,y) { } alert(x+y); addTwoNumbers(5); This could be easily rewritten to check for the number of arguments passed: function addTwo(x,y) {
} if (addTwo.arguments.length == 2) alert(x+y); Of course, this wouldn‘t correct a bad function call like addTwo(5,true); which would produce a value of 6, since true would be converted to the integer 1. If we added type-checking into our function, we could solve this problem, as shown here: function addTwo(x,y) { if (addTwo.arguments.length == 2) { } if ( (typeof(x) != "number") || (typeof(y) !="number") ) else return; } return; alert(x+y); As we can see, to create truly reusable functions that will withstand anything thrown at them, we will have to put in some more effort. Comment Your Functions Consider putting a comment block before a function indicating the name of the function, its purpose, the number and type of parameters accepted, any return values, and any output the function may produce. An example of such a comment block is shown here: /* Function customAlert(message,icon,color,buttontext) Description: This function creates a custom alert dialog
