'What does the [[Prototype]]: Object string in the browser console mean [duplicate]
What does the [[Prototype]]: Object string in the browser console (see pic) mean. As you can see from the code below:
({}).__proto__.__proto__ === null
the prototype chain consists of 2 links, but in the browser console for some reason my {} turned into [[Prototype]]: Object.
Solution 1:[1]
[[Prototype]] is the name of the internal field of an object that says what that object's prototype is.
The prototype is an object that is associated with every functions and objects by default in JavaScript, where function's prototype property is accessible and modifiable and object's prototype property (aka attribute) is not visible.
