The point here is to extract as much meaning as possible, as opposed to my own stochastic learning processes. I want there to be a meaning that would have been meaningful for me, back then (Thanks Thau!). | |

Now see, this jibes with what I understand. The three types. But how to explain Object, in which everything else is constructed, except arrays? Are we only talking about default method prototypes? "Yes, a JavaScript array is an "object" but it is not an instance of "Object" This gets to the heart of what I am inquiring about.
