What are JavaScript object prototypes?

Can you explain what JavaScript object prototypes are?

Sure! In JavaScript, every object has a prototype, which is another object from which it can inherit properties and methods.

How do prototypes work in terms of inheritance?

Prototypes allow for inheritance by linking objects together. When you access a property, JavaScript first looks at the object itself, then its prototype, and so on up the prototype chain.

Can you give me an example of using prototypes?

Absolutely! For instance, if you create a constructor function for a 'Car' object, you can add methods to its prototype, allowing all instances of 'Car' to share those methods.

What is the difference between prototype and proto?

The 'prototype' property is used to define properties and methods for instances, while 'proto' is an internal property that points to the prototype of an object.
