For strict, arrow, async, and generator functions, accessing the arguments property throws a {{jsxref(\"TypeError\")}}.

For strict, arrow, async, and generator functions, accessing the caller property throws a {{jsxref(\"TypeError\")}}. {{jsxref(\"Object/constructor\", \"Function.prototype.constructor\")}} : The constructor function that created the instance object. For Function instances, the initial value is the {{jsxref(\"Function/Function\", \"Function\")}} constructor.\n\nThese properties are own properties of each Function instance.\n\n{{jsxref(\"Function/displayName\", \"displayName\")}} {{non-standard_inline}} {{optional_inline}} : The display name of the function. {{jsxref(\"Function/length\", \"length\")}} : Specifies the number of arguments expected by the function. {{jsxref(\"Function/name\", \"name\")}} : The name of the function. {{jsxref(\"Function/prototype\", \"prototype\")}} : Used when the function is used as a constructor with the new operator. It will become the new object's prototype.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
