You should know all the ways of creating objects in JS :
-Object Literals
-Object.create()
-Factory function
-Constructor function
-Class
Why ? Because in certain situation one tool is better than the other !

Me like : I don't know either :(

The last bit of this video was extremely useful! THANK YOU

[codypayne]

THANK YOU!!! I did NOT understand what the effective difference was between factory and constructor functions -- thanks for explaining that they're just different tools to get the same thing done.

Hi Mosh, as a new programmer I would like to suggest you include some context for the use of constructor function. I.E. What are they used for?

[jsprodev]

The new keyword also sets the prototype of the object to its parent which is Circle
e.g Object.setPrototypeOf(newlyCreatedObject, ConstructorFunction)

I think it's important to be familiar with both ways since you'll be reading others' code and be lost if they use constructor functions but you only know factory functions

[jasonwiesner]

Instead of x you could explicitly use let this = {}, that is essentially what happens in the first line of the constructor function. Helped me to learn it that way.

You are genious, explaning each piece of code in clear manner!

Nice js talk! I’m learning something new everyday... thanks

[cyanozoid]

Crystal clear explanation. Thank you, sir!

And what about ES6's classes? What's the difference between this way of creating objects and classes?

[christianevillaroel]

great video, still a bit confused by this topic. So I think its more just practicing and playing around with constructive functions to understand this.

Thank you Mosh, this was really good explaned

Since three days my life stopped working, but after watching your video my life has finally rebooted

Why not include the new ES6 notation with class and constructor?
The code would read something like:
class Circle {
constructor(radius){
this.radius = radius;
}
draw() {
console.log('draw')
}
}
const myCircle = new Circle(radius)
