function

Optional. The name of the currently executing Function object.

The arguments property allows a function to handle a variable number of arguments. The length property of the arguments object contains the number of arguments passed to the function. The individual arguments contained in the arguments object can be accessed in the same way array elements are accessed.

Note
The arguments object is not available when running in fast mode, the default for JScript. To compile a program from the command line that uses the arguments object, you must turn off the fast option by using /fast-. It is not safe to turn off the fast option in ASP.NET because of threading issues. For more information, see arguments Object.

The following example illustrates the use of the arguments property.

В	Copy Code
function argTest(){ var s = ""; s += "The individual arguments are:\n" for (var n=0; n< arguments.length; n++){ s += "argument " + n; s += " is " + argTest.arguments[n] + "\n"; } return(s); } print(argTest(1, 2, "hello", new Date()));

After compiling this program with the /fast- option, the output of this program is:

В	Copy Code
The individual arguments are: argument 0 is 1 argument 1 is 2 argument 2 is hello argument 3 is Sat Jan 1 00:00:00 PST 2000
