As per the information provided in this MSDN article - specifically focusing on
Constructor Functions but No Classesfunction Dog(name){
this.name = name;
}
// EXAMPLE 1
var dog = new Dog("Spot");
console.log("Dog using new:");
console.log(dog); // Instance of Dog object is displayed
// EXAMPLE 2
var dog = {};
dog = Dog.call(dog,"Rowdie");
console.log("Dog using call:");
console.log(dog); // Unexpectedly returns Undefined.. why is that?
Despite the fact that the first example (the conventional method for creating a new object) yields the desired instance, the second example produces undefined - am I missing something here?
