Javascript functions, multiple prototype inheritance
I have an assignment to implement a diagram using javascript prototypes and constructors. For now I have to implement multiple inheritance using prototypes. I know how to implement single inheritance and I am stuck on inheriting multiple prototypes. This question is focusing on WeatherData inheriting Event and DataType objects. I havent tested the code but I am sure it’s wrong

What is the end of prototype chain in JavaScript — null or Object.prototype?
I’ve been reading about the prototype chain in JavaScript and came to two slightly different definitions. It is said that every object in JavaScript has a prototype and that prototype in turn has another prototype. The top prototype (Grand) may also have prototype and the chain can continue. Now the chain will stop at one last object. JavaScript: The Good

Javascript prototype from instance
I would like to make objects, with earlier created objects as the prototypes. This way I would be able to make additions to existing objects without modifying them. Methods which interact with the earlier created objects (so using there attributes and perhaps mutating them) could also be applied to the newly derived objects. I thought this could be done with
Why is mutating the [[prototype]] of an object bad for performance?
From the MDN docs for the standard setPrototypeOf function as well as the non-standard __proto__ property: Mutating the [[Prototype]] of an object, no matter how this is accomplished, is strongly discouraged, because it is very slow and unavoidably slows down subsequent execution in modern JavaScript implementations. Using Function.prototype to add properties is the way to add member functions to javascript
