13,770 PointsI have the same question, and I'm not sure I understand the answer from Anthony below. I thought the play and stop prototypes in the song.js file are for the Song constructor.
How does the browser know to reference the Song.prototype.play, rather than the Playlist.prototype.play defined in playlist.js?
Is there only one prototype.play for all constructors? And we're just adding to prototype.play in playlist.js?
I'm not sure my question makes any sense.
