What does this means....

[Damon Chong]

I saw a declaration like below and wonder what it means. Can someone
please explain to me? Thanks a million.

var doggy = {};

Regards,

var doggy = {};

It is an object initialiser and is equivalent to:

var doggy = new Object();

Any difference between this and if I initialize like below?

var doggy = [];

Cheers!

Between 'this' and what? Oh, you mean:

var doggy = {};

var doggy = [];

Yes, that will create an Array object, not an Object object.

It helps if you quote context from the message to which you are replying.

Yes, there is a difference. Restoring your missing context:

var doggy = {};

It is an object initialiser and is equivalent to:

var doggy = new Object();

var doggy = [];

That one is equivalent to:

var doggy = new Array();
