Info

Using prototype public methods vs. initialize public methods in a function constructor.

Preparation code

<script>
  function ConstructorPublicMethods() {
   this.publicMethod1 = function(n) {
    return 2 * n;
   };
  
   this.publicMethod2 = function(n) {
    return 3 * n;
   };
  }
  
  function PrototypePublicMethods() {}
  
  PrototypePublicMethods.prototype = {
   publicMethod1: function(n) {
    return 2 * n;
   },
  
   publicMethod2: function(n) {
    return 3 * n;
   }
  };
</script>
