Counter object
importance: 5
Here a counter object is made with the help of the constructor function.
Will it work? What will it show?
function Counter() {
let count = 0;
this.up = function() {
return ++count;
};
this.down = function() {
return --count;
};
}
let counter = new Counter();
alert( counter.up() ); // ?
alert( counter.up() ); // ?
alert( counter.down() ); // ?
Surely it will work just fine.
Both nested functions are created within the same outer Lexical Environment, so they share access to the same count
variable:
function Counter() {
let count = 0;
this.up = function() {
return ++count;
};
this.down = function() {
return --count;
};
}
let counter = new Counter();
alert( counter.up() ); // 1
alert( counter.up() ); // 2
alert( counter.down() ); // 1
