I'm not sure if you're asking whether you can send parameters to the greet functions, or whether you can set your own parameters with the greet function. The question is a bit unclear, so no worries, I'll just go over both.
The greet function itself takes the parameters name and mood. All you have to do is call the greet function after you make a new person:
var giuseppe = new Person("Giuseppe");
//Will output to console: Hello, Giuseppe. I am Giuseppe, and I am in a happy mood!
giuseppe.greet(giuseppe.name, "happy");
You can also override the prototype of person if you wish to pass in different arguments to the greet function per person. Let's say you just want to get the name of one person:
var giuseppe = new Person("Giuseppe");
//Override the greet function set in prototype
giuseppe.greet = function (name) {
console.log("Hi, "+name+"! Welcome back!");
};
//Will output to console: Hi, Giuseppe! Welcome back!
giuseppe.greet(giuseppe.name);
Does that answer your question?
