Function object and Function are they same?

Question

Is

var myFunc = function() {

}

similar to myFunc = new function () { }

I read in the documentation it says both mean the same. What is the difference between these two?

Answer 1

They are not the same.

• var myFunc = function(){} myFunc is a reference to anonymous function expression.
• var myFunc = new function (){} reference to newly constructed instance of anonymous function expression.

var myFunc = function() {}

var myFunc1 = new function() {}

// it is the same as doing:
var myFunc2 = new myFunc;


console.log(myFunc, ' and the type is ', typeof myFunc)
console.log(myFunc1, ' and the type is ', typeof myFunc1)
console.log(myFunc2, ' and the type is ', typeof myFunc2)
