inheritance.js

// Modified excerpt from:
//   https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Introduction_to_Object-Oriented_JavaScript

// define the Person Class
function Person() {}
 
// define the Student class
function Student() {
  // Call the parent constructor
  Person.call(this);
}
 
// inherit Person
Student.prototype = Object.create(Person.prototype); //A common mistake is to use new Person(); use es5shim if < ie8 for Object.create
 
// correct the constructor pointer because it points to Person
Student.prototype.constructor = Student;
