JavaScript new Operator

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

Learn the basics of the JavaScript new Operator

The JavaScript new operator is used to create a new object.

You follow new with the object class to create a new object of that type:

const date = new Date()

If the object constructor accepts parameters, we pass them:

const date = new Date('2019-04-22')

Given an Object constructor like this:

function Car(brand, model) {
  this.brand = brand
  this.model = model
}

We initialize a new “Car” object using:

const myCar = new Car('Ford', 'Fiesta')
myCar.brand //'Ford'
myCar.model //'Fiesta'
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
