Difference between MyClass.prototype = new Object() and MyClass.prototype = Object

Question

could anyone please tell me, where in Javascript the difference between

MyClass.prototype = new Object(); //or ... = {}

and

MyC         


        

Answer 1

MyClass.prototype.method1: function () {/**/};

Correction to the above: it should be

MyClass.prototype.method1 = function () {/**/}; 

(Note the equals sign after 'method1').

The colon is used only when the method definition is itself within an object definition, like:

var myObject = {myVar1: 10, myMethod1: function() { /* */};
