Hi!

On page 108, you write "this.newMethod = ClassA;"

However, on page 109, you write "ClassB.prototype = new ClassA();"

Could you please explain why you have the new keyword in the second case, and no new keyword in the first place.

Please help help help

Thanks :)

Filip,

The "new" operator is used to instantiate an instance of an object. So "new ClassA()" creates a new object of the type ClassA. Without "new", ClassA is just a pointer to a function.
