What is the difference between classical inheritance and prototypal inheritance?

Class Inheritance: instances inherit from classes (like a blueprint — a description of the class), and create sub-class relationships: hierarchical class taxonomies. Instances are typically instantiated via constructor functions with the `new` keyword. Class inheritance may or may not use the `class` keyword from ES6.
Prototypal Inheritance: instances inherit directly from other objects. Instances are typically instantiated via factory functions or `Object.create()`. Instances may be composed from many different objects, allowing for easy selective inheritance.

What are the pros and cons of functional programming vs object-oriented programming?

OOP Pros: It’s easy to understand the basic concept of objects and easy to interpret the meaning of method calls. OOP tends to use an imperative style rather than a declarative style, which reads like a straight-forward set of instructions for the computer to follow. OOP Cons: OOP Typically depends on shared state. Objects and behaviors are typically tacked together on the same entity, which may be accessed at random by any number of functions with non-deterministic order, which may lead to undesirable behavior such as race conditions. FP Pros: Using the functional paradigm, programmers avoid any shared state or side-effects, which eliminates bugs caused by multiple functions competing for the same resources. With features such as the availability of point-free style (aka tacit programming), functions tend to be radically simplified and easily recomposed for more generally reusable code compared to OOP. FP also tends to favor declarative and denotational styles...

Learn HTML in Hindi - 1st lesson.

अधिकांश HTML तत्वों में एक प्रारंभिक टैग और एक समापन टैग होता है। उद्घाटन टैग इस तरह दिखते हैं: <H1> बंद टैग इस तरह दिखते हैं: </ H1> उद्घाटन और समापन टैग के बीच एकमात्र अंतर एक समापन टैग के उद्घाटन ब्रैकेट के बाद आगे की स्लैश है।
