If we create 100,000 instances of Car, the JS engine creates 100,000 distinct, duplicated copies of the getDetails() function in memory.The Prototype Solution: Shared Memory [Link] Aprototype is a special inherent property shared ae constructor.

ES6 Classes are Syntactic Sugar. JavaScript does not have traditional classes like Java or C++. Under the hood, it is still entirely using Constructor Functions and Prototype Chains.Anatomy of an ES6 Class class Vehicle { constructor(name, color) {°—————_+ [Link] = name; o—————__ The syntactic wrapper.

Acts as ‘a gatekeeper, allowing you to run validation logic (like ‘if (newVal >= 0)') before officially updating private internal state.Pillar 2: Polymorphism (Method Overriding) getDetails() { ni return ‘Vehicle’; a getDetails() { return 'Car overrides Vehicle'; rz Concept: Polymorphism means ‘many forms.’ A child class can share the same method name as its parent but implement it differently. "| Mechanism: If a ‘Car’ class defines its own ‘getDetails()’, the JS Engine stops at the ‘Car’ object during the prototype chain lookup, effectively ignoring the parent’s generic version.

Embrace the Sugar: Default to ES6 class syntax for readability, but never forget the Prototype chain running underneath. Protect Your State: Use '# private properties and : manage access through get and set gates. Mind the Memory: Ensure all shared methods are on the prototype (or inside the class block), never declared inside the constructor itself. eee [% 4. Avoid Deep Mutation: Use spread syntax '{...0bj}' or ‘[Link]()' to create shallow copies rather than modifying original objects directly. Fou 8
