Control flow

Assignments / Declarations

for ( init ; test ; inc ) stmt
for (var in [obj | ary]) stmt
if (cond ) stmt [else stmt] (cond ? stmt : stmt )
return [exp]
while ( exp ) stmt
&&, ||, break, continue

do stmt while ( exp )
label : stmt
switch ( exp ) {
case label : stmt ; [ case label : stmt ; ...]
[break;]
default : stmt ; }

[static] var | let | const name [ = exp ];
Assign (=) eg: variabl e = exp;
Compound Assign (Operator=) eg: variable += exp;
variable = new ObjectType [(arguments)]
variable = new function ( "parameters", "stmt" )
this.property
with ( obj ) stmt
