everyone! I'm having an issue understanding this program:






var zomB = {
name: "Zom B.",
peepsEaten: 5
},
zomA = zomB,
oldHome = "Atlanta",
newHome = oldHome;
zomA.name = "Zom A.";
//outputs ZomA
console.log(zomB.name);





I'm confused as to why ZomA outputted by the zomB.name. Can someone please explain this?

  • In JS, objects (alongside 'special' objects like functions and arrays) are passed by reference , whereas primitives (like Strings, Number and Boolean) are passed by value .
