Inheritance in Constructor Functions

Introduction to inheritance in the constructor functions in JavaScript.

In this lesson, we will implement inheritance on the constructor functions.

Prototypes in the constructor functions

We know that inheritance in JavaScript can be implemented through prototypal inheritance. This is when we manage to manipulate __proto__ properties of an object so it can inherit properties from other objects. Before we can move onto inheritance between constructor functions, let’s revisit the prototype property of objects created using constructor functions through the lens of inheritance.
