What are some examples of inheritance in JavaScript?

What are some examples of inheritance in JavaScript?

In JavaScript, inheritance can be achieved through prototypes. For example, you can create a parent class and then extend it.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

function Animal(name) {
    this.name = name;
}

Animal.prototype.speak = function() {
    console.log(`${this.name} makes a noise.`);
};

function Dog(name) {
    Animal.call(this, name);
}

Dog.prototype = Object.create(Animal.prototype);
Dog.prototype.constructor = Dog;

Dog.prototype.speak = function() {
    console.log(`${this.name} barks.`);
};

const dog = new Dog('Rex');
dog.speak(); // Rex barks.

What is the difference between classical and prototypal inheritance?

Classical inheritance is based on classes and instances, while prototypal inheritance is based on objects inheriting directly from other objects.

Can you explain how to implement multiple inheritance in JavaScript?

JavaScript doesn't support multiple inheritance directly, but you can achieve it using mixins or by combining properties from multiple objects.
