As we use JavaScript's in-built object i.e Math Object we use its Methods
ex- Math.random() and so on..
but over here we just used error object and we did not access any of it's Method as a object does not perform actions, so how this worked?

11,490 PointsHi! The teacher is using the constructor's object to display the message, if the exception is thrown. You can check these articles about the Error's constructor and exception handling: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Control_flow_and_error_handling#exception_handling_statements https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error/Error
