15,524 PointsJavascript Prototype
Hi,
m being puzzled by JS prototype.
var test = function() {};
var result_one = typeof test; //Function
var result_two = (test.__proto__ === Function.prototype); // true
var result_three = test.constructor; //Function () { [native code] }
var result_four = test instanceof Function; //true
var result_five = test.prototype; //Object {}
var result_six = Function.prototype; // Function Empty() {}
As we declare the test function, test become a instance of the constructor, Function. As Douglas Crockford said, except String, Number, Boolean, null and undefined. Anything else in JS are Object.
So, Function is also Object. But as test is a function, instance of Function and Function.prototype is an Empty function, how could it has a prototype of Object ?

Function.prototype.__proto__ === Object.prototype; //true
I think this might help understand the Prototype in JS, but m still confused, what does the Function Empty () {} exists for?
