Description
The prototype
property is
used when a function is used as a constructor. It refers to an
object that serves as the prototype for an entire class of objects.
Any object created by the constructor inherits all properties of the
object referred to by the prototype
property.
See Chapter 9 for a full discussion of
constructor functions, the prototype
property, and the definition of
classes in JavaScript.
