Function constructor: new Function() and Function()

Using new Function() creates a new function

WHEN using new Function() THEN this is equivalent to Function() with the same parameters

const fn1 = new Function('a', 'b', 'return a + b'); const fn2 = Function('a', 'b', 'return a + b'); assert.deepStrictEqual(Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(fn1), Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(fn2));

num params

const fn = new Function('a, b', 'c', 'return null'); assert.strictEqual(fn.length, 3);
