Why it says that it's [[Prototype]] is Object? Object is a Function object and the real prototype of obj is Object.prototype.

"Object is a Function object " How do you figure? – jmargolisvt Nov 08 '17 at 20:04

Because `Object` is a constructor function. It's a function, and all function are `Function` objects. – LearningMath Nov 08 '17 at 20:07

It says that its [[prototype]] (which you know is Object.prototye) "is an Object". No more no less. It does not imply that the value is the same as the global Object variable.

So you are implying that it only says that it's prototype is a regular object? Why is this relevant then, when every object's `[[Prototype]]` is an object? It can't be anything else. – LearningMath Nov 08 '17 at 20:10

1It's not relevant, it's just how all objects are shown - there is no exception for `Object.prototype`. And actually, it does show the class name for custom instances (see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/25141170/1048572) for eample). – Bergi Nov 08 '17 at 20:14
