A regular behavior of the JavaScript function Object.prototype.toString
in a browser — is a string that looks like [object "TYPE"]
. The part "TYPE" is substituted with the type of the Object that toString
is called on. In our case, it's Array
.
console.log(toStringObj.call(arr)); // [object Array]
In the second instance, we call toString
from Array
. It’s not the same function as it overrides the standard implementation of Object.prototype.toString
.
Array.prototype.toString
returns a string that consists of all the array elements separated with commas.
console.log(toStringArr.call(arr)); // 1,2,3
ANSWER: 2 strings will appear on the screen:
[object Array]
1,2,3
