The ``++new++`` keyword should only be used with objects that define a constructor function. Use it with anything else, and you'll get a ``++TypeError++`` because there won't be a constructor function for the ``++new++`` keyword to invoke.


== Noncompliant Code Example

----
function MyClass() {
  this.foo = 'bar';
}

var someClass = 1;

var obj1 = new someClass;    // Noncompliant; 
var obj2 = new MyClass();    // Noncompliant if considerJSDoc parameter set to true. Compliant when considerJSDoc=false
----


== Compliant Solution

----
/**
 * @constructor
 */
function MyClass() {
  this.foo = 'bar';
}

var someClass = function(){
  this.prop = 1;
}

var obj1 = new someClass;  // Compliant 
var obj2 = new MyClass();  // Compliant regardless of considerJSDoc value
