Javascript - Use array prototype slice to collect arguments of a function

	//notice that there are no parameters defined, but arguments are still copied
	function doSomething () {
	var args = Array.prototype.slice.call (arguments);
	console.log (args);
	}

	doSomething ("Water", "Salt", "Glue"); // ["Water", "Salt", "Glue"]

throw or catch errors?

The best way to think about the difference between throwing errors and catching errors is this: you should catch errors only if you know exactly what to do next. The purpose of catching an error is to prevent the browser from responding in its default manner; the purpose of throwing an error is to provide information about why an error occurred. - Zakas, Nicholas C.
