Help With Objects

Given the following code what is the best way to describe task?

function TodoListItem(description) { this.description = description; this.isDone = false; this.toString = function() { return this.description; } this.markAsComplete = function() { this.isDone = true; } }

var task = new TodoListItem("Do the laundry!");

-- Isn't task just a function?

first let's format the code:

function TodoListItem(description) {
    this.description = description; 
    this.isDone = false; 

    this.toString = function() { 
        return this.description; 
    } 

    this.markAsComplete = function() { 
        this.isDone = true; 
    } 
}

var task = new TodoListItem("Do the laundry!");

Here - task is an object.
