Questions and Answers

Which of the following is true about object-oriented languages?

  • They do not have a mechanism for encapsulation and structuring
  • They do not support inheritance
  • They have class constructors for encapsulation and structuring (correct)
  • They do not have class constructors
  • What is the purpose of a constructor function in JavaScript?

  • To consolidate properties and methods for a class of objects (correct)
  • To extend the functionality of an object
  • To trigger the creation of a new object
  • To allow for easy sharing of properties and methods between objects
  • What is the role of prototypes in JavaScript?

  • To create a new object
  • To allow for easy sharing of properties and methods between objects (correct)
  • To prevent inheritance between objects
  • To limit the functionality of an object
  • Study Notes

    • Prototypes and their properties can be inherited, creating a chain of inheritance.
    • Objects have access to the prototype of their parent.
    • A property search against an object includes its own prototype and its parent's prototype.
    • Object-oriented languages like Java and C++ have class constructors for encapsulation and structuring.
    • JavaScript offers a similar mechanism through constructor functions and the new operator.
    • JS does not have a true class definition.
    • The new operator in JS triggers the creation of a new object.
    • The constructor function consolidates properties and methods for a class of objects.
    • JS prototypes allow for easy sharing of properties and methods between objects.
    • Prototypes can be used to extend the functionality of an object.
