Why do we need to use instanceOf in here and in which case the result will be true ?
if (!Function.prototype.bind) {
Function.prototype.bind = function(oThis) {
if (typeof this !== 'function') {
// closest thing possible to the ECMAScript 5
// internal IsCallable function
throw new TypeError('Function.prototype.bind - what is trying to be bound is not callable');
}
var aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1),
fToBind = this,
fNOP = function() {},
fBound = function() {
return fToBind.apply(this instanceof fNOP
? this
: oThis,
aArgs.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
// Why do we need to use instanceOf in here };
if (this.prototype) {
// Function.prototype doesn't have a prototype property
fNOP.prototype = this.prototype;
}
fBound.prototype = new fNOP();
return fBound;
};
}
//which case the result will be true ?
I think this is a duplicate of the question below, except that the variables were named slightly differently back when it was asked in 2011, so it's easy to not notice it:
mozilla's bind function question
See that question for a full explanation (and upvote the answer if you agree it is the answer to your question), but the key point is this:
