with Statement (Windows Scripting - JScript)

 

Establishes the default object for a statement.

Syntax

with (object)
   statements 

Arguments

  • object
    The new default object.

  • statements
    One or more statements for which object is the default object.

Remarks

The with statement is commonly used to shorten the amount of code that you have to write in certain situations. In the example that follows, notice the repeated use of Math.

x = Math.cos(3 * Math.PI) + Math.sin(Math.LN10) 
y = Math.tan(14 * Math.E)

When you use the with statement, your code becomes shorter and easier to read:

with (Math){
   x = cos(3 * PI) + sin (LN10)  
   y = tan(14 * E)
}
