Sometimes-async functions I
Functions that are async sometimes, but not at other times.
Example: Async functions with caching.
var socketsCache ={};
function openWebSocket(serverAddress ,callback ){
var socket;
if(serverAddress in webSocketCache ){
socket=webSocketCache [serverAddress ];
if(socket.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN ){
callback ();
}

The splice method removes elements from an array, replacing them with new items. It is different than delete as delete will replace the deleted value with undefined array.sort(comparefn ) The default sort function converts the array entries into strings and sort lexicographically!. It is provided with the sorting function (like comparable objects in java). Moamen Mokhtar, Usama Elnily JavaScript
