    Error creating an instance

    importance: 5

    Here’s the code with Rabbit extending Animal.

    Unfortunately, Rabbit objects can’t be created. What’s wrong? Fix it.

    class Animal { constructor(name) { this.name = name; } } class Rabbit extends Animal { constructor(name) { this.name = name; this.created = Date.now(); } } let rabbit = new Rabbit("White Rabbit"); // Error: this is not defined alert(rabbit.name);
    solution

    That’s because the child constructor must call super().

    Here’s the corrected code:

    class Animal { constructor(name) { this.name = name; } } class Rabbit extends Animal { constructor(name) { super(name); this.created = Date.now(); } } let rabbit = new Rabbit("White Rabbit"); // ok now alert(rabbit.name); // White Rabbit
