var myname = "global context"; function SimpleFun() { this.myname = "simple function"; } var obj1 = new SimpleFun(); //adds myname to obj1 //1. `new` causes `this` inside the SimpleFun() to point to the // object being constructed thus adding any member // created inside SimipleFun() using this.membername to the // object being constructed //2. And by default `new` makes function to return newly // constructed object if no explicit return value is specified document.write(obj1.myname); //simple function
