How does inheritance work with classes?
Short answer: Classes support extends to create a subclass that inherits properties and methods from a parent class. Example: class Animal { speak() { console.log("Animal speaks"); } } class Dog extends Animal { speak() { console.log("Dog barks"); } } const dog = new Dog(); dog.speak(); // Dog barks

class Dog extends Animal { speak() { console.log("Dog barks"); } }
const dog = new Dog(); dog.speak(); // Dog barks
Real-world example (ShopNest)
ShopNest’s browser cart uses modern JavaScript: fetch APIs with async/await, modules, and clear error handling.
Say this in the interview
- Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
