function Test()
{
this.name = 'test name';
}
console.log(Test.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor);
I can't understand why is this a infinite chain of constructor - prototype?
I mean which are the purpose of this chain and why there is no end, the prototype has a constructor and the constructor has a prototype, its a loop-chain, and the constructor everytime is the same, can't imagine...
Well, every Function Object, by default has a .prototype property, which references the prototype object for this function (becomes only important if used as constructor).
And every prototype object by default has a reference to the constructor function, which of course, points back, to the constructor function (in your case Test()).
So, here we go
Test.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor.prototype.constructor
.prototype.constructor.constructor carefully, you'll notice that this references the Function() basic constructor. Remember, a function is also an object in this language.This is a desired behavior.
The constructor property of a prototype refers to the object that owns the prototype (so it refers back to itself).
