How to fix JSLint “missing new” error

Question

Code below passed through JSLint causes an error:

Problem at line 8 character 9: Missing 'new'.

ResizeGrid();

How to fix?

"use strict";

var ResizeGrid;

function t() {
    var x;
    if (x) {
        ResizeGrid();
    }
}

Answer 1

Tick Tolerate uncapitalized constructors or rename to resizeGrid(); to prevent lint from assuming its a function constructor (although calling an undefined var like that will raise other errors).

Answer 2

You should name functions with a lower case initial letter, unless they are intended as constructors. If they are intended as constructors, you should be calling them with new.
