## Definition and Usage

The return value is a reference to the function, not the name of the function:

For JavaScript arrays the constructor property returns function Array() { [native code] }

For JavaScript numbers the constructor property returns function Number() { [native code] }

For JavaScript strings the constructor property returns function String() { [native code] }

| You can use the constructor property to define if a variable is an array.
