Question

Extend the Person and Teacher from the previous task and add a class Student inheriting from Person. Add toString() functions to all classes, the formats should be as follows:

• Person - returns "Person (name: {name}, email: {email})"
• Student - returns "Student (name: {name}, email: {email}, course: {course})"
• Teacher - returns "Teacher (name: {name}, email:{email}, subject:{subject})"

Try to reuse code by using the toString function of the base class.

Input:

There will be no input.

Output:

Your function should return an object containing the classes Person, Teacher and Student.

Example:

function toStringExtension() {
    //TODO

    return {
        Person,
        Teacher,
        Student
    }
}

My solution:

class Person {
    constructor(name, email) {
        this.name = name;
        this.email = email;
    }

    toString() {
        let className = this.constructor.name;
        return `${className} (name: ${this.name}, email: ${this.email})`;
    }
}

class Teacher extends Person {
    constructor(teacherName, teacherEmail, subject) {
        super(teacherName, teacherEmail);
        this.subject = subject;
    }

    toString() {
        let base = super.toString().slice(0, -1);
        return `${base}, subject: ${this.subject})`;
    }
}

class Student extends Person {
    constructor(studentName, studentEmail, course) {
        super(studentName, studentEmail);
        this.course = course;
    }

    toString() {
        let base = super.toString().slice(0, -1);
        return `${base}, course: ${this.course})`;
    }
}

let person = new Person("Maria", "maria@yahoo.bg");
let teacher = new Teacher("Ivan", "ivan@ivan.bg", "history");
let student = new Student("Pesho", "pesho@gmail.com", "Math");
console.log(person.toString());
console.log(teacher.toString());
console.log(student.toString());

/*console.log(Object.getPrototypeOf(teacher) === Teacher.prototype);
console.log(Teacher.prototype.toString);
Person.prototype.age = 21;
console.log(teacher.age);
console.log(person.age);
console.log(student.age);*/
