[[Set]] ( P, V, Receiver )

1. Return ? OrdinarySet(O, P, V, Receiver).

OrdinarySet ( O, P, V, Receiver )

...
2. Let ownDesc be ? O.[[GetOwnProperty]](P).
3. Return OrdinarySetWithOwnDescriptor(O, P, V, Receiver, ownDesc).

[[GetOwnProperty]] ( P )

1. Return ! OrdinaryGetOwnProperty(O, P).

---
  
OrdinaryGetOwnProperty ( O, P )

...
2. If O does not have an own property with key P, return undefined.

---
  
OrdinarySetWithOwnDescriptor ( O, P, V, Receiver, ownDesc )

...
2. If ownDesc is undefined, then
  a. Let parent be ? O.[[GetPrototypeOf]]().
  b. If parent is not null, then
    i. Return ? parent.[[Set]](P, V, Receiver).

9.4.5.5 [[Set]] ( P, V, Receiver ) (Integer-indexed exotic objects)

...
2. If Type(P) is String, then
  a. Let numericIndex be ! CanonicalNumericIndexString(P).
  b. If numericIndex is not undefined, then
    i. Return ? IntegerIndexedElementSet(O, numericIndex, V).

IntegerIndexedElementSet ( O, index, value )

...
5. If IsInteger(index) is false, return false.
6. If index = -0, return false.
7. Let length be O.[[ArrayLength]].
8. If index < 0 or index ≥ length, return false. // End of the line, `a[0] = 4;` returns false. Without setting anything.

`+a[0];`

`a[0]` is `undefined`; `+undefined` is `NaN`;
