//Here we define Person object by creating a constructor for it. We could also do this by doing new Object() then dynamically | |
//adding attributes and functions to it. | |
var Person = function(name, age){ | |
this.name = name; | |
this.age = age; | |
this.getAge = function(){ | |
return this.age; | |
}; | |
this.toString = function(){return "Person";}; | |
}; | |
//Creates John as a object of type Person. John has no prototype because he has no constructor function. He is simply an | |
//object of type Person. If one changes/modifies Person's prototype the changes will be propogated to John. | |
var John = new Person("John"); | |
//Create customer object type and set its prototype to Person with same name and age. This means that any changes to Person | |
//object type should propogate to Customer. | |
var Customer = function(name, age){ | |
this.name = name; | |
this.age = age; | |
this.getAge = function(){return age;}; | |
}; | |
//Set Customer Prototype. | |
Customer.prototype = new Person(); | |
//Create Ellen as an object of type Customer. | |
var Ellen = new Customer("Ellen","21"); | |
alert('John prototype: '+John.prototype.toString())); | |
alert('Ellen prototype: '+Ellen.prototype.toString()); |
