Creates a new object.
new constructor[(arguments)] |
Arguments
- constructor
-
Required. Object's constructor. The parentheses can be omitted if the construc
tor takes no arguments.
- arguments
-
Optional. Any arguments to be passed to the new object's constructor.
Remarks
The new operator performs the following tasks:
-
It creates an object with no members.
-
It calls the constructor for that object, passing a pointer to the newly created object as the this pointer.
-
The constructor then initializes the object according to the arguments passed to the constructor.
These are examples of valid uses of the new operator.
