What is inheritance in JavaScript?

Can you explain what inheritance is in JavaScript?

Inheritance in JavaScript allows one object to access properties and methods of another object. It's a way to create a new object based on an existing one.

How does prototypal inheritance work?

Prototypal inheritance means that objects can inherit directly from other objects. Each object has a prototype, which is another object from which it can inherit properties.

Can you give me an example of how to implement inheritance?

Sure! You can use the Object.create() method to create a new object that inherits from a prototype object. Here's a simple example:

const animal = { eats: true };
const rabbit = Object.create(animal);
rabbit.hops = true;
console.log(rabbit.eats); // true
