Reset an Inherited Constructor Property

Problem Explanation

The duck and beagle objects have been programmed to inherit the supertypes constructor properties. To overwrite this two lines of code will have to be written to set the constructors to the desired constructors Bird and Dog. The following code demonstrates how this can be achieved.

Bird.prototype.constructor = Bird;

Solutions

Solution 1 (Click to Show/Hide) 
function Animal() {}
function Bird() {}
function Dog() {}

Bird.prototype = Object.create(Animal.prototype);
Dog.prototype = Object.create(Animal.prototype);

// Add your code below this line
Bird.prototype.constructor = Bird;
Dog.prototype.constructor = Dog;

let duck = new Bird();
let beagle = new Dog();
