This is a fragment from the book "Professional Javascript for Web Developers 3rd edition" talking about function arguments :

"ECMAScript variables may contain two different types of data: primitive values and reference values. Reference values are objects stored in memory. "

So.. primitive values are not stored in memory? Where are they located then?

Thanks in advance!

I did a google search and the results for "Primitives" came back to Balham, London.

I guess it all depends on the language or the environment, some store in the stack or the heap or the registers or could be predefined items in an area of runtime.
