What does a comma do in JavaScript expressions?

1.09 * 1; // returns \"1.09\"

But if I use:

Answer 1

The comma operator evaluates both of its operands (from left to right) and returns the value of the second operand.

For example, the expression 1,2,3,4,5 evaluates to 5. Obviously the comma operator is useful only for operations with side-effects.

console.log(1,2,3,4,5);
console.log((1,2,3,4,5));
