JS: Function Object

Function is the value of the property key "Function" of the global object.

console.log( window["Function"] === Function ); // true

Function is a function.

〔►see JS: Data Types〕

// type of Function
console.log ( typeof Function === "function" ); // true
console.log ( Object.prototype.toString.call(Function) === "[object Function]" ) // true

The parent of Function is Function.prototype. 〔►see JS: Prototype and Inheritance〕

// parent of Function
console.log ( Object.getPrototypeOf ( Function ) === Function.prototype ); // true

The purpose of Function is:

1. To define a function from strings. (Useful when you need to generate function definition at run time).
2. Holds the property key "length".
3. Holds the property key "prototype". The value of Function.prototype is the parent object of all array objects.
