Test your skills: Object-oriented JavaScript - Learn web development 编辑

The aim of this skill test is to assess whether you've understood our Object-oriented JavaScript for beginners, Object prototypes, and Inheritance in JavaScript articles.

Note: You can try out solutions in the interactive editors below, however it may be helpful to download the code and use an online tool such as CodePen, jsFiddle, or Glitch to work on the tasks.

If you get stuck, then ask us for help — see the Assessment or further help section at the bottom of this page.

Note: In the examples below, if there is an error in your code it will be outputted into the results panel on the page, to help you try to figure out the answer (or into the browser's JavaScript console, in the case of the downloadable version).

OOJS 1

In this task we provide you with a constructor. We want you to:

• Add a new method to the Shape class's prototype, calcPerimeter(), which calculates its perimeter (the length of the shape's outer edge) and logs the result to the console.
• Create a new instance of the Shape class called square. Give it a name of square and a sideLength of 5.
• Call your calcPerimeter() method on the instance, to see whether it logs the calculation result to the browser DevTools' console as expected.
• Create a new instance of Shape called triangle, with a name of triangle and a sideLength of 3.
• Call triangle.calcPerimeter() to check that it works OK.

OOJS 2

Next up we want you to take the Shape class you saw in Task #1 (including the calcPerimeter() method) and recreate it using ES class syntax instead.

Test that it works by creating the square and triangle object instances as before (using new Shape() for both), and then calling their calcPerimeter() methods.

OOJS 3

Finally, we'd like you to start with the ES Shape class you created in the last task.

We'd like you to create a Square class that inherits from Shape, and adds a calcArea() method that calculates the square's area. Also set up the constructor so that the name property of Square object instances is automatically set to square, and the sides property is automatically set to 4. When invoking the constructor, you should therefore just need to provide the sideLength property.

Create an instance of the Square class called square with appropriate property values, and call its calcPerimeter() and calcArea() methods to show that it works ok.

Assessment or further help

You can practice these examples in the Interactive Editors above.

If you would like your work assessed, or are stuck and want to ask for help:

1. Put your work into an online shareable editor such as CodePen, jsFiddle, or Glitch. You can write the code yourself, or use the starting point files linked to in the above sections.
2. Write a post asking for assessment and/or help at the MDN Discourse forum Learning category. Your post should include:
   • A descriptive title such as "Assessment wanted for OOJS 1 skill test".
   • Details of what you have already tried, and what you would like us to do, e.g. if you are stuck and need help, or want an assessment.
   • A link to the example you want assessed or need help with, in an online shareable editor (as mentioned in step 1 above). This is a good practice to get into — it's very hard to help someone with a coding problem if you can't see their code.
   • A link to the actual task or assessment page, so we can find the question you want help with.
