Why doesn't this array missing comma's throw an error? [duplicate]

I can't wrap my mind around this quirk.
[1,2,3,4,5,6][1,2,3]; // 4
[1,2,3,4,5,6][1,2]; // 3
I know [1,2,3] + [1,2] = "1,2,31,2", but I can't find what type or operation is being performed.

[1,2,3,4,5,6][1,2,3];
^ ^
| |
array + — array subscript access operation,
where index is `1,2,3`,
which is an expression that evaluates to `3`.
The second [...] cannot be an array, so it’s an array subscript operation. And the contents of a subscript operation are not a delimited list of operands, but a single expression.
Read more about the comma operator here.

Because (1,2) == 2. You've stumbled across the comma operator (or simpler explanation here).
Unless commas appear in a declaration list, parameter list, object or array literal, they act like any other binary operator. x, y evaluates x, then evaluates y and yields that as the result.

[1,2,3,4,5,6][1,2,3];
Here the second box i.e. [1,2,3] becomes [3] i.e. the last item so the result will be 4
for example if you keep [1,2,3,4,5,6] in an array
var arr=[1,2,3,4,5,6];
arr[3]; // as [1,2,3] in the place of index is equal to [3]
similarly
*var arr2=[1,2,3,4,5,6];
// arr[1,2] or arr[2] will give 3*
But when you place a + operator in between then the second square bracket is not for mentioning index. It is rather another array
That's why you get
[1,2,3] + [1,2] = 1,2,31,2
i.e.
var arr_1=[1,2,3];
var arr_2=[1,2];
arr_1 + arr_2; // i.e. 1,2,31,2
Basically in the first case it is used as index of array and in the second case it is itself an array.

Passing 2 values when accessing value in javascript array `myArray[1,3]`

I realize that this is improper syntax, but why is JavaScript ignoring the first number and giving a response instead of breaking?
let myArray = [1,2,3,4]
myArray[0,1] // 2
myArray[1,3] // 4
myArray[3,0] // 1

It's not improper syntax.
That's just the comma operator in action.
From docs:
The comma operator evaluates each of its operands (from left to right) and returns the value of the last operand.
For instance, [1,2][1,2], perhaps bizarrely enough, will return undefined.
Why?
The second [ is interpreted by the compiler to be the array subscript operator, because JavaScript's semantics don't allow two arrays to be next to each other.
Thus, the second 1,2 must be an expression that evaluates to an index. 1,2 results in the first operand being evaluated, followed by the second, which is what's returned. So it uses index 2, which of course doesn't exist in that array, and we get undefined.

This is because it is evaluating the comma operator in each set of square brackets.

why does ([]+![])[+!+[]] becomes a in JS? [duplicate]

This is valid and returns the string "10" in JavaScript (more examples here):
console.log(++[[]][+[]]+[+[]])
Why? What is happening here?

If we split it up, the mess is equal to:
++[[]][+[]]
+
[+[]]
In JavaScript, it is true that +[] === 0. + converts something into a number, and in this case it will come down to +"" or 0 (see specification details below).
Therefore, we can simplify it (++ has precendence over +):
++[[]][0]
+
[0]
Because [[]][0] means: get the first element from [[]], it is true that:
[[]][0] returns the inner array ([]). Due to references it's wrong to say [[]][0] === [], but let's call the inner array A to avoid the wrong notation.
++ before its operand means “increment by one and return the incremented result”. So ++[[]][0] is equivalent to Number(A) + 1 (or +A + 1).
Again, we can simplify the mess into something more legible. Let's substitute [] back for A:
(+[] + 1)
+
[0]
Before +[] can coerce the array into the number 0, it needs to be coerced into a string first, which is "", again. Finally, 1 is added, which results in 1.
(+[] + 1) === (+"" + 1)
(+"" + 1) === (0 + 1)
(0 + 1) === 1
Let's simplify it even more:
1
+
[0]
Also, this is true in JavaScript: [0] == "0", because it's joining an array with one element. Joining will concatenate the elements separated by ,. With one element, you can deduce that this logic will result in the first element itself.
In this case, + sees two operands: a number and an array. It’s now trying to coerce the two into the same type. First, the array is coerced into the string "0", next, the number is coerced into a string ("1"). Number + String === String.
"1" + "0" === "10" // Yay!
Specification details for +[]:
This is quite a maze, but to do +[], first it is being converted to a string because that's what + says:
11.4.6 Unary + Operator
The unary + operator converts its operand to Number type.
The production UnaryExpression : + UnaryExpression is evaluated as follows:
Let expr be the result of evaluating UnaryExpression.
Return ToNumber(GetValue(expr)).
ToNumber() says:
Object
Apply the following steps:
Let primValue be ToPrimitive(input argument, hint String).
Return ToString(primValue).
ToPrimitive() says:
Object
Return a default value for the Object. The default value of an object is retrieved by calling the [[DefaultValue]] internal method of the object, passing the optional hint PreferredType. The behaviour of the [[DefaultValue]] internal method is defined by this specification for all native ECMAScript objects in 8.12.8.
[[DefaultValue]] says:
8.12.8 [[DefaultValue]] (hint)
When the [[DefaultValue]] internal method of O is called with hint String, the following steps are taken:
Let toString be the result of calling the [[Get]] internal method of object O with argument "toString".
If IsCallable(toString) is true then,
a. Let str be the result of calling the [[Call]] internal method of toString, with O as the this value and an empty argument list.
b. If str is a primitive value, return str.
The .toString of an array says:
15.4.4.2 Array.prototype.toString ( )
When the toString method is called, the following steps are taken:
Let array be the result of calling ToObject on the this value.
Let func be the result of calling the [[Get]] internal method of array with argument "join".
If IsCallable(func) is false, then let func be the standard built-in method Object.prototype.toString (15.2.4.2).
Return the result of calling the [[Call]] internal method of func providing array as the this value and an empty arguments list.
So +[] comes down to +"", because [].join() === "".
Again, the + is defined as:
11.4.6 Unary + Operator
The unary + operator converts its operand to Number type.
The production UnaryExpression : + UnaryExpression is evaluated as follows:
Let expr be the result of evaluating UnaryExpression.
Return ToNumber(GetValue(expr)).
ToNumber is defined for "" as:
The MV of StringNumericLiteral ::: [empty] is 0.
So +"" === 0, and thus +[] === 0.

++[ [] ][+[]] === 1
+[] === 0
++[ [] ][0] === 1
[ +[] ] is [ 0 ]
Then we have a string concatenation:
1 + String([ 0 ]) === 10

The following is adapted from a blog post answering this question that I posted while this question was still closed. Links are to (an HTML copy of) the ECMAScript 3 spec, still the baseline for JavaScript in today's commonly used web browsers.
First, a comment: this kind of expression is never going to show up in any (sane) production environment and is only of any use as an exercise in just how well the reader knows the dirty edges of JavaScript. The general principle that JavaScript operators implicitly convert between types is useful, as are some of the common conversions, but much of the detail in this case is not.
The expression ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] may initially look rather imposing and obscure, but is actually relatively easy break down into separate expressions. Below I’ve simply added parentheses for clarity; I can assure you they change nothing, but if you want to verify that then feel free to read up about the grouping operator. So, the expression can be more clearly written as
( ++[[]][+[]] ) + ( [+[]] )
Breaking this down, we can simplify by observing that +[] evaluates to 0. To satisfy yourself why this is true, check out the unary + operator and follow the slightly tortuous trail which ends up with ToPrimitive converting the empty array into an empty string, which is then finally converted to 0 by ToNumber. We can now substitute 0 for each instance of +[]:
( ++[[]][0] ) + [0]
Simpler already. As for ++[[]][0], that’s a combination of the prefix increment operator (++), an array literal defining an array with single element that is itself an empty array ([[]]) and a property accessor ([0]) called on the array defined by the array literal.
So, we can simplify [[]][0] to just [] and we have ++[], right? In fact, this is not the case because evaluating ++[] throws an error, which may initially seem confusing. However, a little thought about the nature of ++ makes this clear: it’s used to increment a variable (e.g. ++i) or an object property (e.g. ++obj.count). Not only does it evaluate to a value, it also stores that value somewhere. In the case of ++[], it has nowhere to put the new value (whatever it may be) because there is no reference to an object property or variable to update. In spec terms, this is covered by the internal PutValue operation, which is called by the prefix increment operator.
So then, what does ++[[]][0] do? Well, by similar logic as +[], the inner array is converted to 0 and this value is incremented by 1 to give us a final value of 1. The value of property 0 in the outer array is updated to 1 and the whole expression evaluates to 1.
This leaves us with
1 + [0]
... which is a simple use of the addition operator. Both operands are first converted to primitives and if either primitive value is a string, string concatenation is performed, otherwise numeric addition is performed. [0] converts to "0", so string concatenation is used, producing "10".
As a final aside, something that may not be immediately apparent is that overriding either one of the toString() or valueOf() methods of Array.prototype will change the result of the expression, because both are checked and used if present when converting an object into a primitive value. For example, the following
Array.prototype.toString = function() {
return "foo";
};
++[[]][+[]]+[+[]]
... produces "NaNfoo". Why this happens is left as an exercise for the reader...

Let’s make it simple:
++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] = "10"
var a = [[]][+[]];
var b = [+[]];
// so a == [] and b == [0]
++a;
// then a == 1 and b is still that array [0]
// when you sum the var a and an array, it will sum b as a string just like that:
1 + "0" = "10"

This one evaluates to the same but a bit smaller
+!![]+''+(+[])
[] - is an array is converted that is converted to 0 when you add or subtract from it, so hence +[] = 0
![] - evaluates to false, so hence !![] evaluates to true
+!![] - converts the true to a numeric value that evaluates to true, so in this case 1
+'' - appends an empty string to the expression causing the number to be converted to string
+[] - evaluates to 0
so is evaluates to
+(true) + '' + (0)
1 + '' + 0
"10"
So now you got that, try this one:
_=$=+[],++_+''+$

+[] evaluates to 0
[...] then summing (+ operation) it with anything converts array content to its string representation consisting of elements joined with comma.
Anything other like taking index of array (have grater priority than + operation) is ordinal and is nothing interesting.

Perhaps the shortest possible ways to evaluate an expression as "10" without digits are:
+!+[] + [+[]] // "10"
-~[] + [+[]] // "10"
Explanation
+!+[]:
+[] is evaluated as 0.
!0 is evaluated as true.
+true is evaluated as 1.
-~[] is the same as -(-1) which is evaluated as 1.
[+[]]:
+[] is evaluated as 0
[0] is an array with the single element 0.
Then, JS evaluates the 1 + [0], a Number + Array expression. Then the ECMA specification works: + operator converts both operands to a string by calling the ToPrimitive and ToString abstract operations. It operates as an additive function if both operands of an expression are numbers only. The trick is that arrays easily coerce their elements into a concatenated string representation.
Some examples:
1 + {} // "1[object Object]"
1 + [] // "1"
1 + new Date() // "1Wed Jun 19 2013 12:13:25 GMT+0400 (Caucasus Standard Time)"
[] + [] // ""
[1] + [2] // "12"
{} + {} // "[object Object][object Object]" ¹
{a:1} + {b:2} // "[object Object][object Object]" ¹
[1, {}] + [2, {}] // "1,[object Object]2,[object Object]"
¹: Note that each line is evaluated in an expression context. The first {…} is an object literal, not a block, as would be the case in a statement context. In a REPL, you may see {} + {} resulting in NaN, because most REPLs operate in a statement context; here, the first {} is a block, and the code is equivalent to {}; +{};, with the final expression statement (whose value becomes the result of the completion record) is NaN because the unary + coerces the object to a number.

The + operator coerces any non-number operand via .valueOf(). If that doesn't return a number then .toString() is invoked.
We can verify this simply with:
const x = [], y = [];
x.valueOf = () => (console.log('x.valueOf() has been called'), y.valueOf());
x.toString = () => (console.log('x.toString() has been called'), y.toString());
console.log(`+x -> ${+x}`);
So +[] is the same as coercing "" into a number which is 0.
If any operand is a string then + concatenates.

Step by steps of that, + turn value to a number and if you add to an empty array +[]...as it's empty and is equal to 0, it will
So from there, now look into your code, it's ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]]...
And there is plus between them ++[[]][+[]] + [+[]]
So these [+[]] will return [0] as they have an empty array which gets converted to 0 inside the other array...
So as imagine, the first value is a 2-dimensional array with one array inside... so [[]][+[]] will be equal to [[]][0] which will return []...
And at the end ++ convert it and increase it to 1...
So you can imagine, 1 + "0" will be "10"...

Unary plus given string converts to number
Increment operator given string converts and increments by 1
[] == ''. Empty String
+'' or +[] evaluates 0.
++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] = 10
++[''][0] + [0] : First part is gives zeroth element of the array which is empty string

(+"" + 1) === (0 + 1)
(0 + 1) === 1
Let's simplify it even more:
1
+
[0]
Also, this is true in JavaScript: [0] == "0", because it's joining an array with one element. Joining will concatenate the elements separated by ,. With one element, you can deduce that this logic will result in the first element itself.
In this case, + sees two operands: a number and an array. It’s now trying to coerce the two into the same type. First, the array is coerced into the string "0", next, the number is coerced into a string ("1"). Number + String === String.
"1" + "0" === "10" // Yay!
Specification details for +[]:
This is quite a maze, but to do +[], first it is being converted to a string because that's what + says:
11.4.6 Unary + Operator
The unary + operator converts its operand to Number type.
The production UnaryExpression : + UnaryExpression is evaluated as follows:
Let expr be the result of evaluating UnaryExpression.
Return ToNumber(GetValue(expr)).
ToNumber() says:
Object
Apply the following steps:
Let primValue be ToPrimitive(input argument, hint String).
Return ToString(primValue).
ToPrimitive() says:
Object
Return a default value for the Object. The default value of an object is retrieved by calling the [[DefaultValue]] internal method of the object, passing the optional hint PreferredType. The behaviour of the [[DefaultValue]] internal method is defined by this specification for all native ECMAScript objects in 8.12.8.
[[DefaultValue]] says:
8.12.8 [[DefaultValue]] (hint)
When the [[DefaultValue]] internal method of O is called with hint String, the following steps are taken:
Let toString be the result of calling the [[Get]] internal method of object O with argument "toString".
If IsCallable(toString) is true then,
a. Let str be the result of calling the [[Call]] internal method of toString, with O as the this value and an empty argument list.
b. If str is a primitive value, return str.
The .toString of an array says:
15.4.4.2 Array.prototype.toString ( )
When the toString method is called, the following steps are taken:
Let array be the result of calling ToObject on the this value.
Let func be the result of calling the [[Get]] internal method of array with argument "join".
If IsCallable(func) is false, then let func be the standard built-in method Object.prototype.toString (15.2.4.2).
Return the result of calling the [[Call]] internal method of func providing array as the this value and an empty arguments list.
So +[] comes down to +"", because [].join() === "".
Again, the + is defined as:
11.4.6 Unary + Operator
The unary + operator converts its operand to Number type.
The production UnaryExpression : + UnaryExpression is evaluated as follows:
Let expr be the result of evaluating UnaryExpression.
Return ToNumber(GetValue(expr)).
ToNumber is defined for "" as:
The MV of StringNumericLiteral ::: [empty] is 0.
So +"" === 0, and thus +[] === 0.

++[ [] ][+[]] === 1
+[] === 0
++[ [] ][0] === 1
[ +[] ] is [ 0 ]
Then we have a string concatenation:
1 + String([ 0 ]) === 10

The following is adapted from a blog post answering this question that I posted while this question was still closed. Links are to (an HTML copy of) the ECMAScript 3 spec, still the baseline for JavaScript in today's commonly used web browsers.
First, a comment: this kind of expression is never going to show up in any (sane) production environment and is only of any use as an exercise in just how well the reader knows the dirty edges of JavaScript. The general principle that JavaScript operators implicitly convert between types is useful, as are some of the common conversions, but much of the detail in this case is not.
The expression ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] may initially look rather imposing and obscure, but is actually relatively easy break down into separate expressions. Below I’ve simply added parentheses for clarity; I can assure you they change nothing, but if you want to verify that then feel free to read up about the grouping operator. So, the expression can be more clearly written as
( ++[[]][+[]] ) + ( [+[]] )
Breaking this down, we can simplify by observing that +[] evaluates to 0. To satisfy yourself why this is true, check out the unary + operator and follow the slightly tortuous trail which ends up with ToPrimitive converting the empty array into an empty string, which is then finally converted to 0 by ToNumber. We can now substitute 0 for each instance of +[]:
( ++[[]][0] ) + [0]
Simpler already. As for ++[[]][0], that’s a combination of the prefix increment operator (++), an array literal defining an array with single element that is itself an empty array ([[]]) and a property accessor ([0]) called on the array defined by the array literal.
So, we can simplify [[]][0] to just [] and we have ++[], right? In fact, this is not the case because evaluating ++[] throws an error, which may initially seem confusing. However, a little thought about the nature of ++ makes this clear: it’s used to increment a variable (e.g. ++i) or an object property (e.g. ++obj.count). Not only does it evaluate to a value, it also stores that value somewhere. In the case of ++[], it has nowhere to put the new value (whatever it may be) because there is no reference to an object property or variable to update. In spec terms, this is covered by the internal PutValue operation, which is called by the prefix increment operator.
So then, what does ++[[]][0] do? Well, by similar logic as +[], the inner array is converted to 0 and this value is incremented by 1 to give us a final value of 1. The value of property 0 in the outer array is updated to 1 and the whole expression evaluates to 1.
This leaves us with
1 + [0]
... which is a simple use of the addition operator. Both operands are first converted to primitives and if either primitive value is a string, string concatenation is performed, otherwise numeric addition is performed. [0] converts to "0", so string concatenation is used, producing "10".
As a final aside, something that may not be immediately apparent is that overriding either one of the toString() or valueOf() methods of Array.prototype will change the result of the expression, because both are checked and used if present when converting an object into a primitive value. For example, the following
Array.prototype.toString = function() {
return "foo";
};
++[[]][+[]]+[+[]]
... produces "NaNfoo". Why this happens is left as an exercise for the reader...

Let’s make it simple:
++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] = "10"
var a = [[]][+[]];
var b = [+[]];
// so a == [] and b == [0]
++a;
// then a == 1 and b is still that array [0]
// when you sum the var a and an array, it will sum b as a string just like that:
1 + "0" = "10"

This one evaluates to the same but a bit smaller
+!![]+''+(+[])
[] - is an array is converted that is converted to 0 when you add or subtract from it, so hence +[] = 0
![] - evaluates to false, so hence !![] evaluates to true
+!![] - converts the true to a numeric value that evaluates to true, so in this case 1
+'' - appends an empty string to the expression causing the number to be converted to string
+[] - evaluates to 0
so is evaluates to
+(true) + '' + (0)
1 + '' + 0
"10"
So now you got that, try this one:
_=$=+[],++_+''+$

+[] evaluates to 0
[...] then summing (+ operation) it with anything converts array content to its string representation consisting of elements joined with comma.
Anything other like taking index of array (have grater priority than + operation) is ordinal and is nothing interesting.

Perhaps the shortest possible ways to evaluate an expression as "10" without digits are:
+!+[] + [+[]] // "10"
-~[] + [+[]] // "10"
Explanation
+!+[]:
+[] is evaluated as 0.
!0 is evaluated as true.
+true is evaluated as 1.
-~[] is the same as -(-1) which is evaluated as 1.
[+[]]:
+[] is evaluated as 0
[0] is an array with the single element 0.
Then, JS evaluates the 1 + [0], a Number + Array expression. Then the ECMA specification works: + operator converts both operands to a string by calling the ToPrimitive and ToString abstract operations. It operates as an additive function if both operands of an expression are numbers only. The trick is that arrays easily coerce their elements into a concatenated string representation.
Some examples:
1 + {} // "1[object Object]"
1 + [] // "1"
1 + new Date() // "1Wed Jun 19 2013 12:13:25 GMT+0400 (Caucasus Standard Time)"
[] + [] // ""
[1] + [2] // "12"
{} + {} // "[object Object][object Object]" ¹
{a:1} + {b:2} // "[object Object][object Object]" ¹
[1, {}] + [2, {}] // "1,[object Object]2,[object Object]"
¹: Note that each line is evaluated in an expression context. The first {…} is an object literal, not a block, as would be the case in a statement context. In a REPL, you may see {} + {} resulting in NaN, because most REPLs operate in a statement context; here, the first {} is a block, and the code is equivalent to {}; +{};, with the final expression statement (whose value becomes the result of the completion record) is NaN because the unary + coerces the object to a number.

The + operator coerces any non-number operand via .valueOf(). If that doesn't return a number then .toString() is invoked.
We can verify this simply with:
const x = [], y = [];
x.valueOf = () => (console.log('x.valueOf() has been called'), y.valueOf());
x.toString = () => (console.log('x.toString() has been called'), y.toString());
console.log(`+x -> ${+x}`);
So +[] is the same as coercing "" into a number which is 0.
If any operand is a string then + concatenates.

Step by steps of that, + turn value to a number and if you add to an empty array +[]...as it's empty and is equal to 0, it will
So from there, now look into your code, it's ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]]...
And there is plus between them ++[[]][+[]] + [+[]]
So these [+[]] will return [0] as they have an empty array which gets converted to 0 inside the other array...
So as imagine, the first value is a 2-dimensional array with one array inside... so [[]][+[]] will be equal to [[]][0] which will return []...
And at the end ++ convert it and increase it to 1...
So you can imagine, 1 + "0" will be "10"...

Unary plus given string converts to number
Increment operator given string converts and increments by 1
[] == ''. Empty String
+'' or +[] evaluates 0.
++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] = 10
++[''][0] + [0] : First part is gives zeroth element of the array which is empty string
1+0
10
