// Just copies pointer to function into variable chr. var chr = String.fromCharCode; // Invokes function chr (String.fromCharCode) with the arguments in parenthesis. var result = chr(Math.floor(224 + (code/16)));
I sometimes do this as well.
var $f=false; var $t=true; var $b=' '; var $c = '\r\n'; var $n = null;
Note that $n works as 'null' is a special value of a JavaScript Object. You cannot do the same for keyword/value 'undefined'.
