Then we could probably say Number, Boolean and String syntactically look and work just like a C++-style cast -- SomeType(arg). Also, Object seems to be doing something interesting when used as a function; it will create a wrapper object, with the most appropriate class for the given argument: [code] Object(42).toSource() -> (new Number(42)) Object("hi").toSource() -> (new String("hi")) Object(false).toSource() -> (new Boolean(false)) [/code] I had never used JS classes as functions like this before. It has been a good find for me :) [url=http://magnetiq.com/][img]http://magnetiq.com/exports/oa_sig.gif[/img][/url] [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/6682]MaGnA[/url] on 10-10-2008 06:14)[/small] Loading...
