Understanding JavaScript Prototype and Its Benefits

🚀 Today I learned one of the most confusing but powerful JavaScript concepts — Prototype. At first, I used methods like .map(), .filter(), and .push() without thinking where they actually come from. Then I understood the role of Prototype 👇 👉 In JavaScript, objects can inherit properties and methods from another object through the prototype chain. Simple Example: function User(name) { this.name = name; } User.prototype.sayHi = function () { console.log("Hi " + this.name); }; const u1 = new User("Sartaj"); u1.sayHi(); 💡 Why use Prototype? ✔️ Shared methods for all instances ✔️ Better memory efficiency ✔️ Faster and cleaner object creation ✔️ Core concept behind JavaScript classes What I understood: prototype → used to store shared methods __proto__ → link to parent object new keyword connects objects to prototype The more I learn JavaScript fundamentals, the more interesting it becomes. 💻 Which JavaScript concept confused you the most at first? 👇 #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #Prototype #Coding #Frontend #MERNStack #Learning #100DaysOfCode
