So we can send this to any API endpoint on the web. Notice […]

Prototypes are a way to make our code more efficient, especially when using constructors. Take the following code for example… Imagine we have one thousand animals. When we use the “new” keyword, the data basically gets copied to the new object. So we would create one thousand grunt functions. Maybe we do not need one

When writing functions, we might have times when we have argument sent and other times when no arguments are sent to the function.
