javascript - Can arguments be overwritten? -

according mozilla document, arguments can set:

arguments[1] = 'new value'; 

but jshint refuses accept that. can arguments set or not?

this have now:

handlebars.registerhelper('proppartial', function(property, options) {     var name = ember.handlebars.get(this, property);     // have because arguments[0] = name; not work, contrary stated here:     //   https://developer.mozilla.org/en-us/docs/web/javascript/reference/functions_and_function_scope/arguments     var args = [], i, l;     args.push(name);     (i = 1, l = arguments.length; < l; i++) {         args.push(arguments[i]);     }     return ember.handlebars.helpers.partial.apply(this, args); }); 

update, reference

thanks @tjcrowder, working code, fooling jshint:

handlebars.registerhelper('proppartial', function(property, options) {     var name = ember.handlebars.get(this, property);     var args = arguments;     args[0] = name;     return ember.handlebars.helpers.partial.apply(this, args); }); 

yes, can. there lots of things can in javascript jslint has issues with.

i don't suggest it, can it.

if really, want , pass jslint, can fool it:

var = arguments; a[1] = 'new value';

note link between arguments , named arguments in function live in loose mode. e.g.:

function foo(a, b) {     arguments[1] = "x"; // line changes `b`     console.log("a = " + a);     console.log("b = " + b); }  foo(1, 2); 

outputs

a = 1 b = x

in strict mode, though, don't remain linked:

function foo(a, b) {     "use strict";      arguments[1] = "x"; // line *not* change `b`     console.log("a = " + a);     console.log("b = " + b); }  foo(1, 2); 

outputs

a = 1 b = 2
