JavaScript 30 🧬 Classes

a - Classes Part 1
a class is a blueprint for creating objects.
It encapsulates data (properties) and functions (methods) that operate on the data.
Class Declaration: You can declare a class using the class keyword followed by the name of the class. The class body is enclosed in curly braces {}
Constructor Method: A special method named constructor() is used to initialize objects created from a class.
It's called automatically when an object is instantiated (created) using the new keyword.
If you don't provide your own constructor, JavaScript will use a default one.
Properties: Classes can have properties, which are variables that store data for individual objects.
Properties are defined in the constructor method or outside it using a field declaration syntax (available in JavaScript ES6)

b - Classes Part 2
Methods: Classes can have methods, which are functions defined within the class.
These methods can manipulate object properties and perform actions on objects created from the class.
Methods are defined inside the class body but outside any constructor or property declarations.
Inheritance: JavaScript supports inheritance, allowing you to create a new class that inherits properties and methods from an existing class (the parent or base class).
The extends keyword is used for this purpose.
A subclass can also have its own unique properties and methods or override the ones inherited from the parent class using method overriding.
Object Creation: After defining a class, you can create objects (instances) of that class using the new keyword.
This calls the constructor method to initialize the new object with the provided arguments.
