Inheritance in
JavaScript
JavaScript's class system provides a structured way to define
objects with their properties and methods. Inheritance enables
code reuse and organization, making it easier to create complex
applications.

Constructors are special Prototypes are objects
functions that create and that serve as blueprints
initialize objects. They for other objects. They

Inheritance and the
Prototype Chain
Inheritance
Inheritance allows a new class to inherit properties and
methods from an existing class.
Prototype Chain
When an object is created, it has a prototype chain that
connects it to its parent prototype, and so on.
Method Overriding
Child classes can override methods inherited from their
parent classes, providing specialized functionality.
Polymorphism and Method Overriding

Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be Child classes can redefine methods inherited from their

Iterators and Generators
1 Iterators
Iterators provide a standardized way to access the
elements of a collection.
2 Generators
Generators are functions that can be paused and
resumed, allowing for efficient iteration over large
datasets.
3 Iterable Protocol
The Iterable Protocol defines the behavior for objects
that can be iterated over using a for...of loop.
Iterable Protocol and the Iterator Interface
Iterable Protocol Iterator Interface
Defines objects that can be iterated over. Defines the methods for iterating over an object, such
as next().
