Ref to the img, Please explain the output (why does such infinite repeating depth exists?).

Answer 1

In JavaScript function is object and has all properties which belong to objects. So all of them you see in your console line.

Short description:

name :'' – anonymous function in your case name of function is empty

caller:null function that call your function

arguments: null all arguments which were passed into function

You need take a look at Inheritance of JS
