new Operator (JScript 5.6) 

Creates a new object.


new constructor[(arguments)] 

Arguments

  • constructor
    Required. Object's constructor. The parentheses can be omitted if the construc

    tor takes no arguments.

  • arguments
    Optional. Any arguments to be passed to the new object's constructor.

Remarks

The new operator performs the following tasks:

  • It creates an object with no members.

  • It calls the constructor for that object, passing a pointer to the newly created object as the this pointer.

  • The constructor then initializes the object according to the arguments passed to the constructor.

These are examples of valid uses of the new operator.

my_object = new Object;

my_array = new Array();

my_date = new Date("Jan 5 1996");
