It's C

No, it's Javascript, keep up

Javascript is basically just C with some syntactical sugar, right? RIGHT?!?

Say when...

To the contrary, it's Lisp with a lot of syntactic sugar to make it look more like C, but underneath it's nothing like C. It's a weird hybrid.

I would say that your username doesn't check out, but being honest we're all coders, or at least script kiddie pirates, around here.

For reference.

Wtf? Min > Max???

Math.min isn’t the minimum integer; it’s the minimum of a list (and max visa versa)… the min/max of an undefined list is the same… IDK what it is, but this probably the most reasonable of the “WTFs” they could have put there i think… other languages would throw an exception or not compile (which JS definitely SHOULD do instead of this, buuuuut lots of JS has aversions to errors)

*edit: okay the curiosity was killing me: Math.min() is Infinity and Math.max() is -Infinity
