Object() parameters
The Object() constructor function takes one optional parameter. That parameter is the
value you would like to create. If you provide no parameter, then a null or undefined
value will be assumed.
Sample: sample70.html
// Create an empty object with no properties.
var cody1 = new Object();
var cody2 = new Object(undefined);
var cody3 = new Object(null);
console.log(typeof cody1, typeof cody2, typeof cody3); // Logs 'object
object object'.
If a value besides null or undefined is passed to the Object constructor, the value
passed will be created as an object. So theoretically, we can use the Object()
constructor to create any of the other native objects that have a constructor. In the next
example, I do just that.
Sample: sample71.html
/* Use the Object() constructor to create string, number, array,
function, Boolean, and regex objects. */
// The following logs confirm object creation.
console.log(new Object('foo'));
console.log(new Object(1));
console.log(new Object([]));
console.log(new Object(function () { }));
console.log(new Object(true));
console.log(new Object(/\bt[a-z]+\b/));
/* Creating string, number, array, function, Boolean, and regex object
instances via the Object() constructor is really never done. I am just
demonstrating that it can be done. */
