Prototypes are the mechanism by which
JavaScript objects inherit features from one another. In this article,
we explain what a prototype is, how prototype chains work, and how a
prototype for an object can be set.
| Prerequisites: | Understanding JavaScript functions, familiarity with JavaScript basics (see First steps and Building blocks), and OOJS basics (see Introduction to objects). |
