Example 1

In this example we will show how to use the constructor property:

<script type="text/javascript">

var test=new Date();
if (test.constructor==Array)
{
document.write("This is an Array");
}
if (test.constructor==Boolean)
{
document.write("This is a Boolean");
}
if (test.constructor==Date)
{
document.write("This is a Date");
}
if (test.constructor==String)
{
document.write("This is a String");
}

</script>
