JavaScript
|singleton
This code is copied directly from:
// Set the singleton value to the return value of the self-
// executing function block.
var singleton = (function(){
// Declare a private variable.
var message = "Stop playing with your context!";
this.getMessage = function(){
return( message );
};
// Return this object reference.
return( this );
}).call( {} );
// alert the singleton message.
alert( "Message:", singleton.getMessage());
?My thought is that I can use this to better contain the variables and functions in my programs.
However, when I try to run the code in a JSfiddle:
It does not return the message. What am I missing?
