7.4.33 new Operator

Creates a new object.
Syntax
new constructor[(arguments)]
Arguments
- constructor
- The constructor argument calls object's constructor. The parentheses can be omitted if the constructor takes no arguments.
Remarks
The new operator performs the following tasks:
- It creates an object with no members.
- It calls the constructor for that object, passing a pointer to the newly created object as the this pointer.
- The constructor then initializes the object according to the arguments passed to the constructor.
These are examples of valid uses of the new operator:
my_object = new Object;
my_array = new Array();
my_date = new Date("Jan 5 1996");
