function Data is an object constructor function, this keyword refers to the object created, p1 is an example of an object created by the function. Q1: fn, ln, id, city are parameters of the function, they will hold the values of the arguments you pass to them as in case of p1: john is represented by fn, smith is represented by ln and so on...they can be anything, they are like variables you declare and assign the value of arguments passed to the function to them. Q2: FirstName, LastName, Id, City are properties of the object you create, they can be named anything, and they can have the same name as fn, ln, id, city (the parameters), you can set the properties of the object inside the function constructor or outside it. Q3: You said it your self, it is an object created, and that's the role of new keyword, it is used to create a new object of the same type "Data".
