JavaScript Object-Oriented JavaScript: Challenge Building Constructor Methods and Generating Objects createTokens() Method Solution

How does JavaScript know what Token represents in this scenario?

The details for the Player constructor are clear, but in the createTokens method, how does JavaScript know what Token refers to, given that it is defined in the Token.js file rather than the Player.js file? Does JavaScript automatically gather object definitions from all files in the same directory or something?

It's because in the HTML file, it links all of the JavaScript files. Hope this helped!

Ah, I see. I hadn't gotten as far as the HTML file when I posted the question, but it makes sense that the JavaScript engine in the browser would understand what Token refers to in that case. Thank you!

No problem!
