The code passed to the eval method is executed in the same context as the call to the eval method. Note that new variables or types defined in the eval statement are not visible to the enclosing program.

Example

var dateFn = "Date(1971,3,8)";
var myDate;
eval("myDate = new " + dateFn + ";");
print (myDate);
