HashChangeEvent: HashChangeEvent() constructor
The HashChangeEvent() constructor creates a new HashChangeEvent object, that is used by the hashchange event fired at the window object when the fragment of the URL changes.
Note: A web developer doesn't typically need to call this constructor, as the browser creates these objects itself when firing hashchange events.
