Is Function really an Object

Question

I am a self taught web developer and am still trying to come to grips with some JavaScript fundamentals. Below are some quotes extracted from Douglas Crockford\'s Good Part

Answer 1

The typeof operator would be quite useless if it always returned "object", wouldn't it? Everything is an object, but it can be other things too. For example, a string is an object, but it is also a string :) The operator returns the name of the most specific type so to speak, not the most generic one. That should explain why typeof Functionis "function".

As for the constructor property, the constructor is a function that is invoked by the operator new when an object is created. It is always a function, regardless of whether the object itself is Object, Functionor something else.
