Today I learned about JavaScript Objects & Prototypes. For intance if I create an object constructor like this:

function Student(firstName, lastName, id, scores){
    *** constructor body goes here ***
}

I can create a method and add it to the objects prototype, so any object of that type would be able to use that method like so:

Student.prototype.getAverage = function(){
    *** Function body goes here ***
}

I really like learning JavaScript, although I know I have just scratched the surface with what the language is capable of. I will keep learning something new everyday and write about what I have learned. Hopefully it will all stick.
