The value of the assignment expression is the value * of the r.h.s. * * If you want a *strict* warning, pls change the summary of this bug to say so. */ //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- var UBound = 0; var bug = 103602; var summary = 'Reassignment to a const is NOT an error per ECMA'; var status = ''; var statusitems = []; var actual = ''; var actualvalues = []; var expect= ''; var expectedvalues = []; var cnFAIL_1 = 'Redeclaration of a const FAILED to cause an error'; var cnFAIL_2 = 'Reassigning to a const caused an ERROR!
