Suppose I write 0.5 as 0.-5 in unexpected way, but it can still run, my question is , what does "0." in "0.-5" do so that it can still run and prints -5?

I also tried alert(0.-5+1) , which prints -4, does javascript ignores "0." in "0.-5"?

Trailing digits after a . are optional:

console.log(0. === 0);

So

0.-5

evalutes to

0 - 5

which is just -5. Similarly,

0.-5+1

is

0 - 5 + 1

which is

-5 + 1

or -4.

In JS you can express a number with optional decimal point.

x = 5.;    //5

x = 5. + 6.   //11
