20,718 PointsObjects, Methods and Prototypes
I am currently trying to learn how these work. It is so confusing right now, but I guess that may be because I’m going to fast? Is anyone else having the same problem? Let’s see if I get this right:
- An object can hold Keys and Values.
- A Method is a Function inside of a Key.
- A Prototype is a kind of like a generic object that can be used by Constructor Functions?
