Discussion on: Why Facebook's api starts with a for loop

[Antony Garand]

In your webpage, you would do the following:

<script>
function Array(){
    alert('You created an array!');
}
</script>
<script src="https://gmail.com/messages"></script>

This way you overload the constructor before loading the messages themselves.

Ah ok, I see.
I think the way it is written in the article is confusing. It should instead say "override the Array constructor before loading external scripts"

Thanks for the feedback, updated the post so it's more clear
