In this chapter, you learned quite a few ways (patterns) of implementing inheritance, and the following table summarizes them. The different types can roughly be divided into the following:
Patterns that work with constructors
Patterns that work with objects
You can also classify the patterns based on whether they:
Use the prototype
Copy properties
Do both (copy properties of the prototype):

Prototype chaining
(pseudo-classical)

Child.prototype = new Parent();

Inherit only the prototype |
Child.prototype = Parent.prototype;
