Heres the code with Rabbit extending Animal.

Unfortunately, Rabbit objects cant be created. Whats 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

Thats because the child constructor must call super().

Heres 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
