expressionN : Number
Returns
- The value of
Object
Example
The following example uses the comma (,) operator in a
for (i = 0, j = 0; i < 3 && j < 3; i++, j+=2) {
trace("i = " + i + ", j = " + j);
}
// Output:
// i = 0, j = 0
// i = 1, j = 2
The following example uses the comma (,) operator without the parentheses () operator and
illustrates that the comma operator returns only the value of the first expression without the
parentheses () operator:
var v:Number = 0;
v = 4, 5, 6;
trace(v); // output: 4
The following example uses the comma (,) operator with the parentheses () operator and
illustrates that the comma operator returns the value of the last expression when used with the
parentheses () operator:
var v:Number = 0;
v = (4, 5, 6);
trace(v); // output: 6
The following example uses the comma (,) operator without the parentheses () operator and
illustrates that the comma operator sequentially evaluates all of the expressions but returns the
value of the first expression. The second expression,
one.
var v:Number = 0;
var z:Number = 0;
v = v + 4 , z++, v + 6;
trace(v); // output: 4
trace(z); // output: 1
