It’s my understanding that in “old” JavaScript, you could have objects but they were defined using a constructor function, such as<\/p>\n
\nfunction theObj(the_name){
The object above has no methods yet, but we could define one on its prototype (see my post here<\/a>), as follows:\n<\/p>\n \ntheObj.prototype.tellAboutMe=function(){ \nNow, we can invoke the tellAboutMe method on myObj:<\/p>\n myObj.tellAboutMe();<\/p>\n Then we should receive the output My name is Smedley<\/em>.\n<\/p>\n The word class didn’t reach JavaScript until 2015. However, the new keyword was always part of it. That’s how I understand it, anyhow.<\/p>\n Source:<\/p>\n w3schools.com<\/a><\/p>\n w3schools.com<\/a><\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about JavaScript: the tutor continues about objects and the prototype connection.
