In the JavaScript the same thing you can do in many different ways.

Consider the examples:

1:

```
function Circle(radius) {
 return {
  "r" : radius,
  "area" : function(){
   return Circle.pi * this.r * this.r; 
  }
 }
}
Circle.pi = 3.14159;

var a = Circle(10);
alert(a.area());

```

2:

```
function Circle(radius) {
    this.r = radius;
}

Circle.pi = 3.14159;
Circle.prototype.area = function(){
 return Circle.pi * this.r * this.r; 
}

var a = new Circle(10);
alert(a.area());

```

The second is better than first because we dont define the same function *area* for any instance of the *Circle*.

But lets consider 
3: 

```
function Circle(radius) {
 return {
  "r" : radius,
  "area" : Circle.area
 }
}
Circle.pi = 3.14159;
Circle.area = function(){
 return Circle.pi * this.r * this.r; 
}

var a = Circle(10);
alert(a.area());

```

Is there any reason to prefer second style instead of third? Or I misunderstood something at all?
