JS Math Object & 'Built-in' / 'native' objects

Hi! I'm wondering--for the sake of a more in-depth understanding of native objects--where are 'built-in' or 'native' objects literally built into ?

Are they in every browser? If they are in every browser how is it standardized and is there are an entire library of native JavaScript objects in every browser ?

I wouldn't mind if you could point me to a list of resources explaining this or better yet, explaining this yourself !

Cheers, Victor

You're in luck, MDN has a reference guide for Standard built-in objects. You should find what you're looking for there.

And yes, these are in every browser because the software manufacturers conform to the guidelines issued by the standards organization ECMA (European Computer Manufacturers Association).
