The documentation of the function.

Examples

• Simple

const example1 = {
  input:  `a=2*3;`,
  output: `a = 6;`
}

const example2 = {
  input:  `b=1+4*5+f;`,
  output: `b = 21 + f;`
}

const example3 = {
  input:  `c= 2+"as";`,
  output: `c = '2as';`
}

const example4 = {
  input:  `d = 3+null`,
  output: `d = 3;`
}

• Array Expression

const example1 = {
  input:  `["a", "b", "c"].join();`,
  output: `'a,b,c';`
}

const example2 = {
  input:  `["a", "b", "c"].join('@');`,
  output: `'a@b@c';`
}

const example3 = {
  input:  `["a", "b", "c"].pop();`,
  output: `'c';`
}

const example4 = {
  input:  `[1, 2, 3].shift();`,
  output: `1;`
}
