1 Can anyone help me to undrstnd the output of the below code

Problem Description:

  let obj1 ={
    fName : 'Ayush',
    lName : 'Singh',
    city: 'Asansol',
    getName : function(){
      console.log(`I am ${this.fName} ${this.lName} from ${this.city}`)
    }
  }
  let obj2 = {
    fName : 'Aman'
  }

  obj2.__proto__ = obj1;

  console.log(obj1.getName())
  obj2.getName()
  console.log(obj2.__proto__.getName())
  console.log(obj1.__proto__.getName())

Here I am trying to check how proto works. Why can’t I access of obj1.proto.getName

how proto work is it as getter and setter of object.

why your obj1.proto doesnot work because you have not set it. you only set it for obj2.

more ref from docs :-

Object.prototype.proto

Solution – 2

obj2.getName():
it look inside obj2 for "getName" method but not found here, so it look at the prototype of obj2 which is obj1, there is a method call "getName" here

obj2.proto.getName() = (obj2.proto).getName() = obj1.getName()

obj1.proto.getName() You are not calling "getName" method inside obj1, you are calling the "getName" method inside the prototype of obj1, but it is not found here
