Javascript Inheritance

inheritance.md

function Animal(name) {
  this.name = name;
};
Animal.prototype.move = function(meters) {
  console.log(this.name+" moved "+meters+"m.");
};

function Snake() {
  Animal.apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
};
Snake.prototype = new Animal();
Snake.prototype.move = function() {
  console.log("Slithering...");
  Animal.prototype.move.call(this, 5);
};

var sam = new Snake("Sammy the Python");
sam.move();

Or use util.inherits() from Node.js
