Get object name in jquery?

I have two classes in jquery e.g:

function a(){

this.init = function(a){}

}

function b(){

this.init = function(a){}

}

Both the classes have this.init() method.I have a situation that i have the object of both classes and i want to call init() method of class b how can i know the name of the custom object so that i can easily call the init() method of class b like

if (current_object == typeof b)
  current_object.init()

you can use constructor property of the objects

var obj = new b();
console.log(obj.constructor == b);
console.log(obj.constructor == a);

In action: http://jsfiddle.net/9j3HJ/

for b() object

if (current_object.constructor == b)
    current_object.init();

Use instanceof,

if (current_object instanceof b)
  current_object.init()
