JavaScript – Object defineProperty

In JavaScript, there are different ways to define properties to objects. For example, if we have a Customer class, we can define properties using the this keyword, and also Object.defineproperty: function Customer (firstname, lastname, email, phonenumber) { this.firstname = firstname, this.lastname = lastname, this.email = email, Object.defineProperty(this, “phonenumber”, { writable: true, enumerable: true, configurable: false, value: phonenumber }); } //Print out Customer var Customer00001 = new Customer(“Bob”, “Smith”, “bob@test.com”, “111-222-7777”) … Continue reading JavaScript – Object defineProperty

C# – Inheritance

Carrying on from our previous transport post, we currently have a car class that has some properties. However, a car is a type of vehicle. What if we wanted to expand to other types of vehicles in our solution?
