The first part asks you to call the Person function and pass in the common attributes.

We no longer will need this.firstName or this.lastName as the Person function will take care of that for you.

So we call as below.

function Teacher(firstName, lastName, roomNumber) {
  this.room = roomNumber;
  Person.call(this, firstName, lastName);
}

Then you are asked to set up a prototype chain for the Teacher prototype to inherit the Person prototype

Teacher.prototype = Object.create(Person.prototype);

If you want a class to inherit the methods from another class, you need to use Object.create(), in this case, this way.

I HATE JavaScript. None of this makes any sense to me.
