Function in Javascript

In Javascript, functions double as constructors. You call a function as a constructor by using the new operator.

Javascript Prototype

Advantage of using the prototype object to add functions

• No matter how many objects you create, functions are loaded only once into memory
• Allows you to override function if required

Encapsulation

• Concept: enclosing all the functionalities of an object within that object.
• Then we can instantiate an instance of User using User constructor.

Inheritance

In JavaScript, we don't have the concept of class, so inheritance in JavaScript is prototype based. This means to implement inheritance in JavaScript, an object inherits from another object.

Polymorphism

The ability to redefine methods for derived classes.

Classwork

1. Create an object called shape that has the type property and a getType(), getPerimeter() and draw() method. Draw method shows in console that (*name is drawn)
2. Define a Triangle() constructor function whose prototype is shape. Objects created with Triangle() should have three own properties—a, b, and c, representing the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
3. Define a Square() constructor function whose prototype is shape. Objects created with Square() should have three own properties—a, b, c, and d representing the lengths of the sides of a square.
4. Add one more Shape that inherits Triangle or Square or some other shape (in this case you should add it too) and has some specific method and properties
