--description--

There is one crucial side effect of manually setting the prototype to a new object. It erases the constructor property! This property can be used to check which constructor function created the instance, but since the property has been overwritten, it now gives false results:

duck.constructor === Bird;
duck.constructor === Object;
duck instanceof Bird;

In order, these expressions would evaluate to false, true, and true.

To fix this, whenever a prototype is manually set to a new object, remember to define the constructor property:

Bird.prototype = {
  constructor: Bird,
  numLegs: 2,
  eat: function() {
    console.log("nom nom nom");
  },
  describe: function() {
    console.log("My name is " + this.name); 
  }
};

--instructions--

Define the constructor property on the Dog prototype.

--hints--

Dog.prototype should set the constructor property.

assert(Dog.prototype.constructor === Dog);

--seed--

--seed-contents--

function Dog(name) {
  this.name = name;
}

// Only change code below this line
Dog.prototype = {

  numLegs: 4,
  eat: function() {
    console.log("nom nom nom");
  },
  describe: function() {
    console.log("My name is " + this.name);
  }
};

--solutions--

function Dog(name) {
  this.name = name;
}
Dog.prototype = {
  constructor: Dog,
  numLegs: 4,
  eat: function() {
    console.log("nom nom nom");
  },
  describe: function() {
    console.log("My name is " + this.name);
  }
};
