Forwarded - HTTP
this can be either: an ip address (v4 or v6, optionally with a port, and ipv6 quoted and enclosed in square brackets), an obfuscated identifier (such as "_hidden" or "_secret"), or "unknown" when the preceding entity is not known (and you still want to indicate that forwarding of the request was made).

X-DNS-Prefetch-Control - HTTP
similarly, the link element can be used to resolve hostnames without providing a complete url, but only, by preceding the hostname with two slashes: <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//www.mozilla.org/contribute/"> forced prefetching of hostnames might be useful, for example, on the homepage of a site to force pre-resolution of domain names that are referenced frequently throughout the site even though they are not used on the home page itself.

Control flow and error handling - JavaScript
catch (catchid) { statements } the catch block specifies an identifier (catchid in the preceding syntax) that holds the value specified by the throw statement.

Functions - JavaScript
for example, if you define the function square, you could call it as follows: square(5); the preceding statement calls the function with an argument of 5.

Character classes - JavaScript
for example, "*" is a special character that means 0 or more occurrences of the preceding character should be matched; for example, /a*/ means match 0 or more "a"s.

Regular expressions - JavaScript
for example, to match a single "a" followed by zero or more "b"s followed by "c", you'd use the pattern /ab*c/: the * after "b" means "0 or more occurrences of the preceding item." in the string "cbbabbbbcdebc", this pattern will match the substring "abbbbc".

Deprecated and obsolete features - JavaScript
leftcontext the substring preceding the most recent match.

Function.prototype.bind() - JavaScript
the bind() method creates a new function that, when called, has its this keyword set to the provided value, with a given sequence of arguments preceding any provided when the new function is called.

Object.prototype.toString() - JavaScript
dog.prototype.tostring = function dogtostring() { const ret = 'dog ' + this.name + ' is a ' + this.sex + ' ' + this.color + ' ' + this.breed; return ret; } or, using es6 template strings: dog.prototype.tostring = function dogtostring() { return `dog ${this.name} is a ${this.sex} ${this.color} ${this.breed}`; } with the preceding code in place, any time thedog is used in a string context, javascript automatically calls the dogtostring() function, which returns the following string: "dog gabby is a female chocolate lab" using tostring() to detect object class tostring() can be used with every object and (by default) allows you to get its class.

Object.prototype.valueOf() - JavaScript
the following code assigns a user-defined function to the object's valueof method: mynumbertype.prototype.valueof = function() { return customprimitivevalue; }; with the preceding code in place, any time an object of type mynumbertype is used in a context where it is to be represented as a primitive value, javascript automatically calls the function defined in the preceding code.

RegExp.leftContext ($`) - JavaScript
the non-standard leftcontext property is a static and read-only property of regular expressions that contains the substring preceding the most recent match.

RegExp - JavaScript
when using the constructor function, the normal string escape rules (preceding special characters with \ when included in a string) are necessary.

Property accessors - JavaScript
document.createelement('pre') if you use a method for a numeric literal, and the numeric literal has no exponent and no decimal point, you should leave white-space(s) before the dot preceding the method call, so that the dot is not interpreted as a decimal point.

Template literals (Template strings) - JavaScript
if there is an expression preceding the template literal (tag here), this is called a tagged template.
