Why is the name property a different value from what I set it to? [duplicate]

Question

I am new to JavaScript. Can someone explain why I'm getting an unexpected value when I access the name property of the person function?

var name = function() {
    console.log('name');
}

function person() {
    console.log('hello person');
}

person.name = "hello";

console.log(person.name); // logs "person"

Answer 1

Functions have a "name" property that defaults to the, erm, name of the function itself. It can be accessed but not written to, so your assignment to person.name is ignored.

Answer 2

Function.name is a non-writable and non-enumerable property defined for functions. So even though you

person.name = "hello";

Its not getting over-written. It returns the function name.
