Object prototype (Object constructor function) basic example.
var txt = "";
var x;
function Person(first, last, age, sex) { //Object prototype (Object constructor function)
this.firstName = first;
this.lastName = last;
this.age = age;
this.sex = sex;
this.changeFirstName = function (name) {
this.firstName = name;
};
}
var you = new Person("Nydia", "Garz", 50, "F");
var me = new Person("Carlos", "Rami", 25, "M");
you.changeFirstName('Nxdxa');
you.nationality = "English"; //Adding property.
me.fullName = function(){ return this.firstName + " " + this.lastName } //Adding function.
delete you.age; //Deleting property. Or delete you["age"];
/*

Person.prototype.race = "Latin";
/*
Person.prototype.race;
you.race = "Latin";
me.race = "White";

console.log("Your first name is " + you.firstName + ", your race is " + you.race + ". I'm " + me.age + " years old and my fullname is " + me.fullName() + ", my race is " + me.race + ".");
for (x in me) { //Exploring object's properties.
txt += me[x] + "\n";
}
console.log('Txt: \n' + txt);
