function A() {
this.array = [] ;
this.size = this.array.length;
};
let arr = new A();
arr.array.push("Element");
console.log(arr.size)
//Output is 0
Can anyone tell me, what’s the logic behind this output?? Why won’t it update the length with the update of the array property in the object?
Can anyone tell me
This sets size as the value of array.length at the time this function is called.
would adding
arr.array.push(“Element”);
not call the function again though???
May I know, why it won’t update as I update the property when I’m referring to the object’s property?
No. That would not call the constructor again. That modifies only this.array.
The length is a primative value, so you only get the value, not a reference to the value. To have multiple pieces of internal data change in response to one value changing, you’d need a setter. Or you could use a getter to update/retrieve the value you intend.
interesting. Thank you @JeremyLT for the explanation. and thanks @rajtanuchakravarty for the example
Thank you for the knowledge that you shared. I did some experiments and found out that what you said was true and it is valid.
It looks like your understanding of the concepts is quite strong.
Do you mind, if I ask you something? @JeremyLT
Go for it
Are you one of the members of FCC? @JeremyLT
Everybody who participates in the community is member, and I’ve been around for a few years.
Haha…that doesn’t answer my question. But I think I got the answer. Anyways, it is nice knowing you. Keep helping us, who are just starting out. So, that we can do the same for others. @JeremyLT
That’s the idea! Learn and help as you go!
Apart from that, I just started my DSA.
Got any advice for me?
That stuff is hard. Be patient with yourself and ask lots of questions if you get stuck. Learning how to get unstuck is a big part of becoming a programmer and sometimes that involves help.
Appreciate the advice.
And will keep that in mind.
Thanks a bunch. 
Ohh man lol. I feel for you, I’m switching to C# because I like it more for I’d like to do but I’m stuck on my Udemy class on the ‘this’ keyword too.
Keep grinding mate.
