Function prototypes in JavaScript
Functions created in JavaScript always have the prototype property added by the JavaScript engine to them. The prototype property is an object which contains the constructor property by default. The function protoype can be accessed by −
functionName.prototype
When objects are creating using the function constructor, this prototype property can be used to share methods or properties between the objects created by that function constructor.
Following is the code for function prototypes in JavaScript −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

<style>
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
.result {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: 500;

}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<script>
let resEle = document.querySelector(".result");
let BtnEle = document.querySelector(".Btn");
function personConstructor(fName, lName) {
this.fName = fName;
this.lName = lName;
}
personConstructor.prototype.welcome = function () {
return "Welcome " + this.fName + " " + this.lName;
};
let person1 = new personConstructor("Rohan", "Sharma");
let person2 = new personConstructor("Shawn", "Smith");
BtnEle.addEventListener("click", () => {
resEle.innerHTML = "person1.welcome() = " + person1.welcome() + "<br>";
