when I put person.call(this, firstName, lastName) in the code I get an error that says I don't need to put firstName, lastName in the code. When I remove those two, it gives me an error that says it needs this, firstName, lastName in that order. ???
function Person(firstName, lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
Person.prototype.fullName = function() {
return this.firstName + " " + this.lastName;
};
function Teacher(firstName, lastName, roomNumber) {
Person.call();
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.room = roomNumber;
}

31,722 Pointsah, okay the error message is a bit confusing. it's saying you don't need to set firstName and lastName in the teacher constructor, because you do need to pass them to the person constructor.
function Teacher(firstName, lastName, roomNumber) {
Person.call(this, firstName, lastName);
this.room = roomNumber;
}
