About This Episode:
Ready to level up your JavaScript classes? 🚀 In this episode, we’ll explore how objects can inherit behavior from one another, making our code more powerful and reusable.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
🌳 Why Inheritance matters for organizing and scaling your code.
🔗 Using extends to create child classes.
🧩 Leveraging super() to tap into parent constructors.
✍️ Overriding methods to customize behavior for specific classes.
We’ll bring it all together with an Animal → Dog example, showing how subclasses can extend functionality while keeping your code DRY and elegant. 🐾
By the end, you’ll have the tools to structure your JavaScript programs like a true object-oriented pro. ⚡
