JavaScript · Middle · Question 61 of 75

What does `new User("Ann")` do with a regular constructor function?

✓Correct answer: Creates an empty object with User.prototype as its prototype, runs User with this bound to it and returns it
2Copies all methods into a new object
3Calls User as a normal function

Explanation

If the constructor explicitly returns an object, that object replaces this. Calling it without new makes this undefined in strict mode.
