// [Function: Array]

constructor Syntax

The syntax to access the constructor property is:

Here, arr is an array.


constructor Parameters

constructor Return Value

  • Returns the constructor function for the array.

For JavaScript arrays, the constructor property returns function Array() { [native code] }.

Note: The return value is a reference to the function, not the name of the function.

let array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
