Is okay for function name() and prototype.name to have the same name

Is okay for a global & prototype function name to have the same function name.

function doThis(){}

&

el.prototype.doThis = function (){}

Can these two be used together in the same script?

I tried it and they both worked correctly, but I need to know if it’s safe to use them together.

>Solution :

Yes you can. They are stored in different scopes

function doThis(){}

Is in your global script scrope. // doThis();

el.prototype.doThis = function (){}

Is only accessable with the specified object el // el.doThis();

I would prefer to name them differently to avoid misunderstandings.
