Question

function condition(){ 
  this.expression = ""; 
  this.toString = function(){
    return this.expression;
  }
};

function and(first, second){
    this.expression = first + " and " + second;
}

function nop(){};
nop.prototype = condition.prototype;

and.prototype = new nop();

var a =new and(1,2);

console.log(a.toString());

it is expected to see “1 and 2” as output but this is what happened:
“[object Object]”

Answer 1

You are transfering the prototype of condition to nop‘s prototype. The problem is that your condition.toString is not declared in the prototype… Here:

function condition(){ 
  this.expression = ""; 

};
  condition.prototype.toString = function(){
    return this.expression;
  }
function and(first, second){
    this.expression = first + " and " + second;
}

function nop(){};
nop.prototype = condition.prototype;

and.prototype = new nop();

var a =new and(1,2);

console.log(a.toString());

OR

function condition(){ 
  this.expression = ""; 
  this.toString = function(){
    return this.expression;
  }
};

function and(first, second){
    this.expression = first + " and " + second;
}

function nop(){};
nop = condition;

and.prototype = new nop();

var a =new and(1,2);

console.log(a.toString());
