Because if you only want one class to inherit the methods from another class, making them share the exact same methods is completely wrong. – Oriol Jul 09 '16 at 23:23

what about this `constructor.prototype = Object.create(superconstructor.prototype);` @Oriol – OMar Mohamed Jul 09 '16 at 23:29

Yes, but then restoring the `constructor` property is a good idea: `constructor.prototype.constructor = constructor`. Or with `defineProperty` to make it non-enumerable. – Oriol Jul 09 '16 at 23:33

and why should I to set the constructor property ? @Oriol I guess to retrieve the constructor later from an instance so that I can create a new one, right ?? – OMar Mohamed Jul 09 '16 at 23:45
