The thing is that you are not supposed to call methods on the prototype
directly.
Your code has this in it:
Object.prototype.toString.call(this)
which is something you usually do not do. The first argument to the .call
function becomes "this" in the context of the function which is "cheating" and
bypassing prototype inheritance. I consider .call equal to reflection in Java.
You should be doing this.toString().
I cannot explain prototype inheritance well enough and will probably only cause
more confusion at this point. [1] does a way better job than I ever could.
