--description--
A constructor function that inherits its prototype object from a supertype constructor function can still have its own methods in addition to inherited methods.
For example, Bird is a constructor that inherits its prototype from Animal:
function Animal() { }
Animal.prototype.eat = function() {
console.log("nom nom nom");
};
function Bird() { }
Bird.prototype = Object.create(Animal.prototype);
Bird.prototype.constructor = Bird;
In addition to what is inherited from Animal, you want to add behavior that is unique to Bird objects. Here, Bird will get a fly() function. Functions are added to Bird's prototype the same way as any constructor function:
Bird.prototype.fly = function() {
console.log("I'm flying!");
};
Now instances of Bird will have both eat() and fly() methods:
let duck = new Bird();
duck.eat(); // prints "nom nom nom"
duck.fly(); // prints "I'm flying!"
--instructions--
Add all necessary code so the Dog object inherits from Animal and the Dog's prototype constructor is set to Dog. Then add a bark() method to the Dog object so that beagle can both eat() and bark(). The bark() method should print "Woof!" to the console.
--hints--
Animal should not respond to the bark() method.
assert(typeof Animal.prototype.bark == 'undefined');
Dog should inherit the eat() method from Animal.
assert(typeof Dog.prototype.eat == 'function');
Dog should have the bark() method as an own property.
assert(Dog.prototype.hasOwnProperty('bark'));
beagle should be an instanceof Animal.
assert(beagle instanceof Animal);
The constructor for beagle should be set to Dog.
assert(beagle.constructor === Dog);
beagle.eat() should log "nom nom nom"
console.log = function (msg) {
throw msg;
};
assert.throws(() => beagle.eat(), 'nom nom nom');
beagle.bark() should log "Woof!"
console.log = function (msg) {
throw msg;
};
assert.throws(() => beagle.bark(), 'Woof!');
