  this.phoneNumber = phoneNumber;
  this.email = email;
};
contacts[contacts.length] = new add("imtiaz", "ahmed", "01794705874", "imtiaz@gmail.com");

Try console.log(yourObject);. It will display on your browser's console.

Lets say if you have an object like this.

 var Somebody = {
 name: "John Smith",
 age: 120};

To print it in the browser you can use JSON like this.

alert(JSON.stringify(Somebody, null, 3));

Celaro it worked but why did u add null and 3 ? It also worked without them – imtiaz Oct 11 '16 at 07:18
Like it states here [link](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify) stringily takes 3 arguments, the object, a optional function to filter the properties of the object, and the number of space between each output – Celaro Oct 11 '16 at 07:28
