Oct 30, 2010 · Object-oriented programming languages that make use of classes are often referred to as classed-based programming languages, but it is by no means a must to make use of classes to be object-oriented. JavaScript uses prototypes to define object properties, including methods and inheritance. Conclusion: JavaScript IS object-oriented.

Apr 29, 2009 · I've seen that this can be hard to catch at the beginning for programmers that have been working on conventional class-based object-oriented languages (like C++, C#, Java, etc). Recommended articles: Introduction to Object-Oriented JavaScript; JavaScript: The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language; Classical Inheritance in JavaScript

Oct 9, 2008 · Prototypal inheritance is a form of object-oriented code reuse. Javascript is one of the only [mainstream] object-oriented languages to use prototypal inheritance. Almost all other object-oriented languages are classical. In classical inheritance, the programmer writes a class, which defines an object. Multiple objects can be instantiated from ...

Aug 5, 2011 · From mozilla, you can find that prototype-based language is object-oriented language. Because they think if a language uses "object", it is an object-oriented language. And then they divide object-oriented into two type: class-based and object-based object-oriented. object-based(or prototype-based) object-oriented

May 15, 2016 · Object Oriented Programming. In OOP, an object is a box containing informations and operations that are supposed to refer to the same concept. Informations are often known as "attributes", and operations are often known as "methods". Attributes allow to keep track of the state of the object, and methods allow to manipulate the state of the object.

May 2, 2011 · JavaScript is an object oriented language but supports functional programming language style of using functions. Actually JavaScript is not a class-based Object Oriented because it uses prototyphal inheritance.This means in JavaScript Inheritance occurs not through defining classes of objects rather the objects (prototype) themselves.

Mar 1, 2015 · var funct1=function() { var dummy=new Object(); var clone=dummy; dummy.subfunct1=bla bla; //you have to return every time the clone object dummy.subfunct2=bla bla; //you have to return every time the clone object return dummy; } thus the function (anyway) become chained to n times.

Mar 15, 2013 · The core difference is an object-oriented programming language has the features that an object-oriented paradigm must have in order to be considered an object-oriented programming language. Thus, JavaScript, for now, isn't an actual object-oriented programming language because it lacks actual polymorphism and inheritance.

Oct 28, 2013 · A Quick Overview of Object-Oriented Programming. Both prototypal inheritance and classical inheritance are object-oriented programming paradigms (i.e. they deal with objects). Objects are simply abstractions which encapsulate the properties of a real world entity (i.e. they represent real word things in the program). This is known as abstraction.

Dec 22, 2014 · @AaditMShah: Well, it's hard to characterize his position as "renouncing object-oriented programming", when he himself says his current approach is exactly "class-free object-oriented programming", and his entire approach is based on objects encapsulating data and behavior, which sounds an awful lot like object-oriented programming to me. I ...
