• Define methods on custom objects by attaching them to the prototype

1. Fork and clone this repository.
2. Change to the new directory.
3. Install dependencies.
4. Create and checkout a new branch, training

In the previous lesson, we saw how to use constructors to de-duplicate effort in creating new objects that share attributes. We learned that we should never define a method inside a constructor function. So how should we get behavior in our custom objects?

Remember wonderWoman?

let wonderWoman = {
  name: 'Diana Prince',
  alias: 'Wonder Woman',

  usePower: function() {
    return 'Deflects bullets with bracelets';
  }
}

We made a nice Hero constructor to take care of the attributes .

const Hero = function(name, alias, power) {
  this.name = name;
  this.alias = alias;
  this._power = power;
};

1. Create usePower and attach it to the constructor function's prototype.
2. Create a method to say the hero's name and alias. Attach it to the prototype.
3. Create batman and wonderWoman. Call the method just attached.
4. Observe that this method isn't part of objects created using the constructor function.

Change the run tracker code you made in the previous lesson to use prototypes.
