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.
