If JavaScript doesn't support Classical inheritance why am I able to create constructors and use new keyword?

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

According to MDN javascript only support prototypical inheritance. Yet I can do the following:

function Human() {

  this.eyes = 2;
  this.feet = 2;

}

Var Mark = new Human();

What's even more confusing, I can add a method to the constructor using .prototype keyword:

Human.prototype.walk = function(distance) {
  //code
}

Yet there's a proper way to create objects">objects using Object.Create which is apparently the proper prototype based object creation:

var Human = {
  eyes: 2,
  feets: 2

}

var Mark = Object.create(Human);

Can someone please clear this up for me? Thank you
