#  Function

The **` Function ` ** object provides methods for [ functions ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions) . In JavaScript, every function is
actually a ` Function ` object.

##  Constructor

[ ` Function() ` ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/Function)

    

Creates a new ` Function ` object. Calling the constructor directly can create
functions dynamically but suffers from security and similar (but far less
significant) performance issues to [ ` eval() ` ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/eval) . However, unlike `
eval() ` , the ` Function ` constructor creates functions that execute in the
global scope only.

##  Instance properties

These properties are defined on ` Function.prototype ` and shared by all `
Function ` instances.

[ ` Function.prototype.arguments ` ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/arguments) Deprecated
Non-standard

    

Represents the arguments passed to this function. For [ strict ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode) , arrow, async, and generator
functions, accessing the ` arguments ` property throws a [ ` TypeError `
](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypeError) . Use the [ `
arguments ` ](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/arguments) object
inside function closures instead.

[ ` Function.prototype.caller ` ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/caller) Deprecated
Non-standard

    

Represents the function that invoked this function. For [ strict ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode) , arrow, async, and generator
functions, accessing the ` caller ` property throws a [ ` TypeError ` ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe
