Two functions – one object

importance: 2

Is it possible to create functions A and B so that new A() == new B()?

function A() { ... } function B() { ... } let a = new A(); let b = new B(); alert( a == b ); // true

If it is, then provide an example of their code.

Yes, it’s possible.

If a function returns an object then new returns it instead of this.

So they can, for instance, return the same externally defined object obj:

let obj = {}; function A() { return obj; } function B() { return obj; } alert( new A() == new B() ); // true
