Is this (see listing) possible with espruino javascript.

function add() {
  var i, len, result = 0;
  for (i = 0; len = arguments.length; i < len; ++i) {
  result += arguments[i];
  }
  return result;
}

add(3, 7, 4, 6);  //result = 20

Hi,

Yes, it is. It was only added within the last month or two though. I've just discovered that prefix increment isn't in there yet (and I think you have a typo after 'i=0'), however the following code works fine:
```
function add() {
  var i, len, result = 0;
  for (i = 0, len = arguments.length; i < len; i++) {
  result += arguments[i];
  }
  return result;
}
add(3, 7, 4, 6);  //result = 20
```

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
