New Class

[jimfog]

Take a look at this code here:

Slideshow=new Class({

I am confused. Does the above code create an abject? As far as i know the answer must be NO. As i know in javascript there are no classes. So, what the above code does? Is it maybe a class simulation technique?

Javascript does have objects, in some sense or another, with methods and properties, private and public variables. If you scroll down a little, you'll see an explanation on this page: http://w3schools.com/js/js_objects.asp Javascript does not have inheritance or polymorphism, just object templates.

I guess what you have up there, is a user defined Object: ex:

function class(){}

slideShow=new class

note that class is a reserved word in JS and cannot be used for variable names. although pretty useless as such, but still noteworthy.http://stackoverflow...d-in-javascript edit: and i believe it would either have to be

slideShow = new className();

or

slideshow = className;

Ok, you are saying that class is a reserved word. Then, why the developer uses it? It seems that there is not a problem with that. Unless i miss something here. Thanks.

class is a reserved word. Class is not. JavaScript is case sensitive. Though it's still probably not advisable to use it in either form (upper or lower case) because it could cause confusion to you or others who are trying to read your code.

Oh, i had forgotten that, thanks for reminding

Totally agree.
